PREGNANCY & CHILDBEARING
Nutritional demands increase significantly during pregnancy, as the body must support both maternal health and foetal development simultaneously. Deficiencies in key nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and omega-3s during this period can have lasting consequences — affecting neurological development, bone formation, and the overall health outcomes of both mother and child.
Folic Acid - Supports the body’s natural processes for cell growth and DNA formation, helping to reduce the risk of neural tube defects and promoting healthy development and overall maternal wellbeing during the crucial stages of early life formation.
Vitamin D - Boosts reproductive health by contributing to hormonal balance, calcium absorption, immune function, and the proper development of bones and tissues essential for both maternal and early-life wellbeing.
Iron - Promotes healthy blood formation, optimises oxygen transport to tissues, and contributes to sustained energy levels and cognitive development, making it particularly important during times of increased physiological demand and growth.
Calcium - Plays a key role in healthy bone density, muscle function, and nerve transmission while contributing to the proper development of skeletal structures and maintaining balanced blood pressure and cardiovascular health during periods of increased physiological demand.
Vitamin B12 - Promotes healthy red blood cell formation, energy metabolism, and optimal neurological development, making it an essential nutrient for maintaining vitality and promoting normal growth and development during key stages of life.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Strengthens maternal health by aiding in the development of the foetal brain, eyes, and nervous system while also helping to regulate inflammation, maintain hormonal balance, and promote optimal long-term cognitive and visual outcomes for both mother and child.
Prenatal Multivitamins - Helps provide essential nutrients that support healthy growth and development, promote maternal wellbeing, enhance energy levels, and help reduce the risk of nutritional deficiencies that can affect both mother and baby throughout the entire journey.
