What is the difference between Fertility Essentials and Pregnancy Essentials?Updated a month ago

While Fertility Essentials is designed for the period before conception, Pregnancy Essentials builds on its function and supports the body during pregnancy.

Both products contain carefully selected vitamins and minerals that meet the specific needs of the body during this period – however, they differ in composition, reflecting the changing demands of a woman's body.

What Fertility Essentials contains and why:

Fertility Essentials is formulated to support natural fertility, prepare the body for healthy conception, and lay a solid foundation for the baby's development in the earliest stages of pregnancy.

For example, it contains the active form of folate (vitamin B9), which plays a key role in the development of the fetal nervous system.

On the other hand, it does not contain iron – this is because women often do not have an increased need for iron before pregnancy, and supplementing it without a specific indication (e.g., low ferritin) is not always appropriate. 

Pregnancy Essentials – follows on from Fertility

Once a woman becomes pregnant, her body's needs change. Pregnancy Essentials therefore contains iron, which is often necessary during pregnancy due to the increasing demands on blood production, as well as higher amounts of iodine and choline, which are important for the proper development of the baby's brain and nervous system.
