Nutrick LifesciencePrenatal Multivitamins is formulated to provide the right amount of 20 essential nutrients for women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. These are nutrients you need during pregnancy. You may need more during pregnancy than you did before as your growing baby gets all the necessary nutrition from you.
Some of the key benefits of the nutrients include:
• Folic Acid reduces the risk of problems in the baby’s development in the early weeks of pregnancy. It’s important to take 400 micrograms of folic acid every day before you’re pregnant and until you’re 12 weeks pregnant. Folic acid can help prevent birth defects known as neural tube defects, including spina bifida
• Iron helps to maintain your energy levels and reduce tiredness and fatigue. Our body uses iron to make haemoglobin, a protein that helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Your body needs this iron to make more blood so it can carry oxygen to your baby. Your baby needs iron to make his own blood.
• Vitamin C and E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It can also help increase the amount of Iron your body absorbs.
• Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.
• Iodine is a mineral your body needs to make thyroid hormones, which help your body use and store energy from food. You need iodine during pregnancy to help your baby’s nervous system develop. The nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) helps your baby move, think and feel.
