During a woman's pregnancy, a healthy diet and proper nutrition become imperative. From drinking coffee to taking vitamins, every dietary choice a woman makes directly influences the health of her baby. Studies have shown that women who continue a healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy tend to have bigger and healthier babies compared to women who do not. All essential vitamins and minerals are needed to maintain the growth and development of the baby, yet many women do not take in adequate amounts of these nutrients. A healthy diet and quality supplements will help ensure daily optimal intake.

Active Folate
120 caps
Product Code: 1142 | |
7 times more bioavailable than ordinary folic acid
Folic Acid is also called Folacin, Folate, Pteroylglutamic acid and Vitamin B9. Folic acid is a B vitamin, it helps the body make healthy new cells and is needed by everyone. Active Folate is 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the naturally occurring, biologically active form of folate that is nearly 7 times more bioavailable than ordinary folic acid. Active Folate requires no metabolic conversion before being absorbed or entering the cell. Common presentations of insufficient folic acid can include macrocytic anemia (too large of red blood cells), fatigue, irritability, peripheral neuropathy, tendon hyper-reflexivity, restless legs syndrome, diarrhea, weight loss, insomnia, depression, dementia, and psychiatric conditions. Folic acid sufficiency can also improve gingival (gum) resistance to irritation and resultant inflammation and infection. For women who may get pregnant, it is really important. When a woman has enough folic acid in her body before and during pregnancy, it can prevent major birth defects of her baby's brain or spine.

Brain food for kids & adults!
As we age, our bodies no longer synthesize adequate amounts of DHA. Adequate DHA intake is particularly beneficial for pregnant and nursing women. For children of all ages, DHA is critical for healthy brain development. One study showed that by the age of eight, children had an 8.3-point IQ advantage over children who consumed less DHA. For adults DHA also provides nutritional support for optimal signal transmission in the brain, eyes, and central nervous system function.

DHA
90 softgels (strawberry flavour)
Product Code: 9218 | |
Supports memory, learning & mood
DHA is a high concentration DHA supplement for mood support, proper memory and neurological function. DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and is an essential building block of brain and nerve tissue. DHA can not be synthesized by the body, and therefore must be obtained from diet high in deep-sea cold water fish. DHA, which constitutes approximately 40% of the brain, supports brain development during the last trimester of pregnancy when the unborn child's demand for neurological growth increases greatly. If added to the mother's diet, it can help prevent the depletion of the mother's store of DHA, and support the developing baby's essential fatty acid needs.
