Key ingredients and their functions during pregnancy

The PreNatal Nutrients formula includes essential nutrients that contribute to maternal well-being and fetal development. These include:

• Choline (100 mg): This nutrient is fundamental for the development of the fetal nervous system. Choline participates in the formation of cell membranes and the synthesis of neurotransmitters.
• Iron (27 mg): Helps maintain adequate red blood cell levels, which is especially important during pregnancy to prevent fatigue. Iron contributes to the normal formation of hemoglobin.
• Metafolin® L-5-MTHF (1 mg): This active form of folate is easily absorbed by the body. Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy.
• Iodine: Essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and support the baby's brain development.
• Vitamins A and D: Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of vision and skin, while vitamin D aids in calcium absorption and bone maintenance.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved health claims for several nutrients present in this supplement. For example:

• Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
• Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and thyroid function.

It is important to remember that these nutrients help meet the increased needs during pregnancy and lactation, but should not be considered as medical treatment.

How and when to take this prenatal supplement?

The recommended dose is 2 capsules daily, preferably with meals to facilitate absorption. It is advisable to start supplementation when planning pregnancy, continue throughout gestation, and extend it during lactation. Always consult your doctor before starting any supplementation, as each woman has particular needs.
