PreNatal Nutrients

Nutritional aid for maternal health during gestation and lactation

PreNatal Nutrients is a hypoallergenic, highly bioavailable multivitamin and multimineral formula formulated specifically for expectant and nursing women. PreNatal Nutrients provides the vitamins and minerals needed to promote maternal and fetal health, such as selenium, zinc, biotin, niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin, in doses aligned with the accepted Health Canada recommendations for pregnant and lactating women. Furthermore, PreNatal Nutrients provides 1 mg Metafolin 5-MTHF, the naturally occurring, universally metabolized form of folate, for healthy neural and cellular development of the fetal brain and spinal cord, reducing the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months prior to conception and during early gestation. It is also enhanced with increased vitamin D and vitamin K for bone health, chromium to promote healthy glucose metabolism, and iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia and associated tiredness and fatigue. Beta-carotene (provitamin A) is included to maintain skin and immune function.

  • Prevents iron deficiency anemia and associated tiredness and fatigue.
  • Reduces the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months prior to conception and during early gestation.
  • Enhanced with folate from folic acid and Metafolin L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, plus added vitamin D, vitamin K, and iron to meet increased requirements during gestation.
