PreNatal complex formula contains pure intact Norwegian brown seaweed, vitamins and minerals designed for pregnancy and lactating. The main benefits reported for vitamin/mineral PreNatal formulas are reduced risk of neural tube defects, maternal anemia, nervous system and cognitive development of babies.

Why Norwegian Brown Seaweed

Brown seaweed is a natural source of iodine, called chelated iodine, which is treated very differently by the body.
Organic iodine could prove to be extremely helpful in preventing neurological impairment in the developing baby, and could positively affect the baby’s reading ability later in life.

84% of Women are Unaware of the Importance of Iodine During Pregnancy

Iodine insufficient diet can cause issue to the cognitive development of babies and damaging IQ levels. Iodine is required for the production of thyroid hormones, crucial for the baby’s brain and nervous system development in the womb and in early childhood.

The study conducted on Japanese women has revealed that the consumption of seaweed when pregnant could reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in women to a considerable extent.

Iodine insufficiency is a huge, and under-reported problem in many parts of Europe. Iodine deficiency affects 1.9 billion people globally and is the most preventable cause of intellectual disability.

KEY ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

Organic Iodine / 150mcg (RDI: 220mcg for pregnant women and 290mcg for lactating)

Iodine sufficiency during pregnancy is extremely important for proper fetal development. During early pregnancy,  the fetus depends entirely on maternal T4 and therefore, on maternal iodine intake. Production of T4 increases by approximately 50% during pregnancy, requiring a concomitant increase in maternal iodine intake. Sufficient iodine intake after birth is also important for proper physical and neurological growth and maturation.
Our formula contains 150mg of Norwegian brown seaweed phytocomplex ( 150mcg of organic iodine from Ascophyllum nodosum) which is one of the best sources of organic iodine.

Folic acid – B9 / 600mcg (RDI: 600 mcg for for pregnant women)

Folic acid is one of the most important B vitamin to take during pregnancy and for a very good reason. The proper amount of folic acid reduces the risk of your baby developing neural tube birth defects like spina bifida. It’s also responsible for helping to produce red blood cells which are obviously important for both you and your growing baby.

Pyridoxine – B6 / 0,7mg (RDI: 0,7mg for pregnant and lactating women)

Pyridoxine is vital for the development of your baby’s nervous system and brain throughout each week of your pregnancy. It can also help to alleviate nausea and vomiting which are perhaps two of the very worst early side effects of pregnancy. Vitamin B6 may help relieve nausea associated with morning sickness.

Cobalamin – B12 / 1,25mcg (RDI: 15mcg for pregnant and lactating women)

Cobalamin is needed for neurodevelopment. When combined with folic acid during pregnancy, B12 supplements can help to prevent spinal and central nervous system birth defects in your baby. It also boost absorption and utilization of iron.

Chelated Iron / 18mg (RDI: 27mg for pregnant women)

During pregnancy, your iron needs nearly double, to support your blood volume, promote iron storage and supply oxygen to your baby. Apart from increased vascular blood mass for the mother and placenta, the developing foetus draws iron from the mother for use in the first five or six months after birth too.
If you don’t have enough iron stores during pregnancy, you could develop iron deficiency anemia. In particular vegetarians, vegans and women carrying more than one baby are at risk of iron deficiency.

Vitamin D / 15mcg (RDI: 15mcg for pregnant and lactating women)

Vitamin D also helps build your baby’s bones and teeth. Vitamin D also helps the body absorb and use calcium. Obesity is another risk factor. So if you’re at increased risk of deficiency, consult your doctor for advice.

Vitamin E and C / 19mg & 120mg (RDI: 19mg / 120mg for pregnant and lactating women)

As antioxidants, vitamin E and C act synergistic to help prevent oxidative stress and protects cell membranes from damage. Vitamin C also helps your baby to absorb iron and build up stores for later use

Vitamin A / 770mcg (RDI: 1300 mcg for pregnant and lactating women)

Vitamin A is important for your baby’s embryonic growth, including the development of the heart, lungs, kidneys, eyes, and bones as well as the circulatory, respiratory, and central nervous systems. Vitamin A demand is highest during the third trimester of pregnancy due to accelerated fetal development.
