What key nutrients does the Pregnancy Essentials multivitamin contain?Updated 10 months ago

The composition of Multivitamin Pregnancy Essentials was invented to replenish the most important and often deficient essential nutrients. 

It is natural that the demand for these vitamins, minerals and micronutrients increases during pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to the increased demands on the body. 

Each of these substances plays an important role during pregnancy in supporting maternal health and proper fetal development. 

What key nutrients does the product contain?

The liquid capsule contains: 

• Vitamin K2 MK7: 

Vitamin K2 helps to properly distribute calcium throughout the body, supporting healthy fetal bone development and preventing calcification of the mother's blood vessels.

• DHA (docosahexaenoic acid):

Docosahexaenoic acid is one of the omega-3 fatty acids and is crucial for fetal brain and eye development. During pregnancy, the need for it increases as it is essential for the growth of the nervous system.

• Beta-carotene:

Beta-carotene, or provitamin A, is converted into the active form of vitamin A in the body. It helps in cell and eye development and supports the immunity of the developing baby. Beta-carotene is a safe precursor for the production of vitamin A, as the body synthesizes the amount it currently needs.

• A mixture of tocotrienols and Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol):

Vitamin E and tocotrienols are powerful antioxidants that protect cells from damage and support a healthy immune system. 

• Vitamin D:

Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which is important for proper fetal bone growth. It also strengthens the immune system and may help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia (elevated blood pressure).

The mini liquid capsule contains: 

• Iron:

Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, which provides oxygen transport in the blood. During pregnancy, the need for iron increases as the mother's body produces more blood to support the growing fetus.

Powder capsule contains: 

• Biotin:

Biotin or vitamin B7 supports the health of skin, hair and nails. It is also important for the metabolism of fats, amino acids and carbohydrates.

• Choline:

This essential nutrient is involved in the development of the brain and nervous system of the fetus and supports the proper function of the mother's liver. Choline is also an important precursor for the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

• Chromium:

This mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, which may prevent gestational diabetes, and supports the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

• Iodine:

Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones, which affect fetal brain growth and development. Iodine deficiency can lead to problems with the child's developing nervous system and cognitive function.

• Selen:

Selenium is an important antioxidant, supports the immune system and proper thyroid function.

• Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 (as Quatrefolic®) and B12:

This complex of B vitamins supports energy and proper metabolic function. 

Folic acid (vitamin B9) in methylated form, as Quatrefolic®, is crucial for DNA formation and the prevention of congenital developmental defects, especially in the nervous system. 

Vitamin B12 aids in the formation of red blood cells and the functioning of the nervous system, and getting enough of it during pregnancy prevents the development of fetal neurological defects.

• Zinc:

This mineral supports immunity, skin health and proper cell growth. Zinc also plays a role in DNA formation and cell division, which is important during rapid fetal growth.

Each of these substances contributes to a healthy pregnancy, ensuring that both mother and fetus have the necessary nutrients for optimal development and functioning.
