Specially formulated to provide the essential nutrients a woman requires prior to and during pregnancy as well as when breast-feeding. Two capsules per day provide recommended dietary intake quantities of vitamins for a pregnant woman plus minerals and oils essential for baby’s health.
Features and benefits
- Contains folic acid for pregnant women which reduces the risk of birth defects of the brain and/or spinal cord (spina bifida) when taken as recommended
- Contains long chain fatty acids from tuna oil, which are necessary for brain and visual development of the baby
- The body's iron needs increase during pregnancy and if it is deficient, not only will the mother feel tired and run down, but the baby may not be receiving all the oxygen it needs for healthy growth and development
- Contains zinc - vital for a baby's growth, particularly in the early stages of pregnancy, and to promote healthy skin and help prevent stretch marks and cracked nipples during breast-feeding
- Calcium is essential during both pregnancy and breast-feeding for a baby to develop strong teeth and bones. When calcium is deficient in the mother's diet, her body will take it from calcium stored in her bones, which may lead to losses of stored calcium of up to 7% during pregnancy, increasing the risk of osteoporosis in later life
- Pregnancy also creates higher than normal demands for other nutrients including the minerals iodine and magnesium, carotenoids, the B group vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin E
- Easy to swallow capsule
