A healthy pregnancy and proper fetal development depend on proper nutrition. While nothing replaces a varied and healthy diet during pregnancy, a prenatal can help ensure that you and your baby are getting the nutrients needed for a great start.

Some of the key nutrients needed during pregnancy and how they support baby:

Folic Acid – Folic acid is needed for proper formation of the brain, spine, and cardiovascular system. It is especially important to get enough folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy to help prevent birth defects.

Calcium – Needed for the development of bones and teeth as well as to support the development of muscles and nerves. If calcium intake is not great enough to cover baby’s needs, calcium will be pulled from mom, putting her bones at risk.

Iron –  Iron is extremely important for pregnant women and their babies. Adequate iron levels are needed to keep up with the increased demand for blood supply and to ensure that your baby has enough iron for proper brain development.

Algae DHA – DHA (and EPA) are essential fats that are important to consume during pregnancy. DHA is needed for brain and eye development. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get enough of these omega-3 fatty acids, especially in the amounts needed during pregnancy. Our Prenatal+ contains vegan DHA from algae to help support your daily DHA needs.

• Women who are planning to become pregnant should start taking folic acid daily for at least three months before the pregnancy
• Pregnant women have increased iron needs in order to supply more blood and oxygen to the developing baby
• A newborn baby typically has enough iron stores to last the first 4 to 6 months of life, as long as the mother had healthy iron stores, there were no complications that lead to blood loss, and  the baby is not premature
• The recommended daily intake of iron is 27 mg per day for pregnant women, however, women who are deficient or anemic will require more
• DHA is an essential fatty acid needed for the growth and development of the brain and retinas in developing fetuses and babies
