PreNatal Plus

The demands on a woman’s body increase greatly during pregnancy. As the baby grows, nutritional requirements place burdens on the mother she must meet for the baby to develop properly. While a good diet should provide most necessary nutrients, you can ensure any holes are filled by including a good multivitamin in your routine. PreNatal Plus provides the necessary vitamin and minerals plus additional elements to support a healthy pregnancy.

A general broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals is essential for good health, but several play key roles during development of the baby. Perhaps the most important is folic acid. Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) taken prior to pregnancy and during the first trimester can reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects like spina bifida or cleft palate from 70% to 100%.

Iron helps oxygen distribution in the blood which is necessary for the baby’s health and to growth. Vitamin A is key to the growth of healthy skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Calcium is a key compound in the formation of bone and teeth.

In addition to the vitamins and minerals, PreNatal Plus includes several other natural supplements traditionally used to help expectant mothers. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an essential omega 3 fatty acid. In the developing baby it is key to nervous system development and visual abilities. The DHA in PreNatal Plus is extracted from microalgae instead of fish avoiding any possible problems with mercury levels.

Red Raspberry is a traditional woman’s herb. It appears to relax the uterus. In addition it may help with morning sickness, strengthen the uterus (this may help reduce miscarriage occurrence), and relax the uterus during labor. Ginger has long been known to aid in relieving nausea and vomiting often accompanying pregnancy.
