Provides optimal supplementation for pregnant women, lactating women, and women wishing to become pregnant.
The earlier supplementation begins the better because women need adequate nutrient stores to meet the greater nutrient demands for a growing baby. This prenatal multivitamin provides folate in the bioidentical, bioactive form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5MTHF) in place of synthetic folic acid. L-5MTHF is the active circulating form of folate found in the body and one of the several forms found in food.
The minerals contained in Preg&Lact Mom provide superior absorption compared to those found in standard prenatal vitamins. These minerals are dosed at levels to help achieve optimal results, such as:
- Calcium and magnesium for healthy bone formation
- Ferrochel® chelated iron – most bioavailable on the market, non-constipating
Preg&Lact Mom features mineral chelates with far superior absorption compared to minerals typically found in prenatal multivitamins. A daily serving of Preg&Lact Mom provides adequate amounts of calcium and magnesium for healthy bone and muscle development. The inclusion of healthy amounts of vitamins D and K allow for proper directing of calcium to hard tissues, such as bone and teeth, and not to the soft tissues. Ferrochel chelated iron not only has high bioavailability but also excellent tolerability. It does not cause constipation like so many iron sources do. Iodine is an important mineral for infants and an important inclusion to this formula, as research has shown that iodine deficiency in infancy can lead to learning disability and lowered achievement motivation.
Preg&Lact Mom now provides 200 mcg of Iodine in each serving, the minimum level recommended during pregnancy and postpartum by the World Health Organization (WHO). Preg&Lact Mom is also designed to prevent the fatigue that is so common during pregnancy. Vitamin B6, found in Preg&Lact Mom is known to improve pregnancy nausea.
