Give your baby a healthy start in life, naturally
As featured in the NHS Mother & Child magazine
Doctors designed Extend Prenatal to deliver the full range of essential vitamins and minerals needed for the health of mother and baby. Extend Prenatal is a great source of calcium magnesium B’s A C D E K iron trace minerals flavonoids and more with adequate but not excessive potencies of the nutrients that support a healthy pregnancy. Although it’s a 12 capsule/day formula these are our second-smallest capsules making them easy to swallow.
Recommended dosage: four capsules three times per day with meals.
Extend Parental contains amongst other nutrients:
• FOLIC ACID – prevents neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida, anencephaly
and encephalocele.
• B VITAMINS – other vitamins of the B group are needed for brain and nerve function,
as well as muscle formation in the heart and skeletal muscles of your growing baby.
• VITAMIN B1 – supplementation in early pregnancy can reduce the chances
of underweight or undersize births.
• VITAMIN B6 – good for the mother and helps with morning sickness.
• VITAMIN B12 – crucial for production of healthy red blood cells and should
be supplemented early, particularly in vegetarian women.
• IRON – prevents one of the most common complications of pregnancy – anaemia.
• ZINC – deficiency in pregnancy can lead to developmental defects, miscarriage, preterm
delivery and low birth weight. Also vital for the development of the immune system
• VITAMIN E & K – also of critical importance and is probably inadequately supplied
by even the best of diets.
Several customers have written to us to ask about vitamin A in our Extend Prenatal® multivitamins. The amount of actual vitamin A (termed preformed) in Extend Prenatal is only 2,500 IU, well below the threshold of concern. When it comes to developing an effective prenatal formula, we know that it is critical that vitamin A stores in the woman's body be adequate well before conception. The structures that will later become the spinal cord, the brain, the face, the eyes, the heart, the skin and the gut will begin to form at three weeks gestation, long before the mother-to-be even knows she is pregnant.
