Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
When pregnant or breastfeeding, the body requires many additional nutrients to support foetal development. An adequate supply of micronutrients is particularly important during this time, both for the health of the mother and for the normal development of the child.
Nutrients
Selected nutrients for increased requirements during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function; DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function; and vitamins B12 and D, zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron play a role in cell division.
Folic Acid (Folate)
Folic acid (folate) is perhaps the single most important nutrient during pregnancy as it contributes to maternal tissue growth. Our folic acid range is inspired by the natural diversity of folate, including both bioidentical forms and bioactive L-methylfolate.
