Why you'll love it
Probiotic: Intestinal flora play such an important role, and supplementing with Probiotics can really have a profound effect on promoting overall good health. In fact, 70% of the immune system is located in the intestine which makes sense when you consider that the gut is actually the gatekeeper responsible for allowing the passage nutrients while preventing toxins from entering our bloodstream
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a health basic. Everyone from infants to seniors can benefit from the appropriate dose of Vitamin D, especially those who live in a colder climate with limited year-round exposure to direct sun. Because diet alone is a poor source of Vitamin D, most of your body’s needs are met from exposure to sunlight and complemented with supplements
Magnesium: Because this ultra relaxing mineral is great for your mind, body and spirit! Quite literally though, Magnesium is responsible for the relaxation of everything from blood vessels for a healthy heart, to smooth muscle for easing cramps, to bowels to keep things regular, to the nervous system to help with sleep and more! It’s not surprising that it impacts so many body systems seeing as it’s the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions.
Prenatal Multi: Pregnancy and the postpartum period can be incredibly taxing on a woman’s body resulting in an increased need for nutrients including vitamins and minerals. A balanced and nutritious diet that focuses on whole, unprocessed foods is a good starting point to help ensure a healthy pregnancy. A high quality Prenatal supplement can help fill nutritional gaps in your day to day eating plan, and ensures that you are getting the minimum essential nutrients that will help you grow a happy and healthy baby.
Omega 3: When you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, your requirements for Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) increase. During pregnancy, the Omega 3’s travel through your placenta and support the growth of the baby’s brain, eyes, nervous system and tissues. Interestingly, there have also been some studies showing that maternal intake of DHA while pregnant and breastfeeding can actually decrease the risk of infant allergies.
Why this formula?
Our probiotics are all multi-strain. Having more strains provides strength in numbers as well as variation in the type of bacteria you are colonizing with. High concentrations of fewer strains can be great for treating certain conditions like antibiotic associated diarrhea, however diversity is important in supplements used for daily, general health so as not to end up with an over-colonization of any specific strain of bacteria.
Because Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, it’s best taken daily with a healthy fat. Our Vitamin D is formulated in a base of Organic Olive Oil to help with absorption.
Our supplement contains Magnesium Bisglycinate chosen for its excellent bioavailability as well as the fact that it doesn’t have a laxative effect at higher doses unlike other Magnesium supplements thanks to it being absorbed in a different part of the gut.
Our comprehensive prenatal multivitamin contains all the things you need and none of the stuff you dont! It’s encapsulated in a vegetable based capsule that helps ensure 100 % disintigration so vitamins can enter the intestine where they should be, ensuring you get the most out of your supplement.
There are a number of different fish oil supplements available on the market, making it incredibly difficult to ensure that you are selecting only the best for your changing body and the needs of your new babe. Because as a new or soon-to-be mom, you have enough to worry about, we’ve taken the guesswork out of selecting a supplement for you!
How much do I really need?
Everything you need for the day will come in your Prenatal & Postnatal Care dispenser box. Each day, you’ll take a morning pack with 4 capsules and an evening pack with 4 capsules. These should be taken after food and with a full glass of water to be sure you are getting the most out of your supplements.
