Vital Nutritional Support during Pregnancy In theory, an expectant mother on a
healthy, balanced diet should be ingesting all the nutrients she needs to give
birth to a healthy baby. However, with today’s busy lifestyle, it is sometimes
difficult to ensure that adequate amounts of all the vital ingredients are
being included. For this reason, it is hard to overstate the importance of the
need for all pregnant women to supplement their diets with a prenatal vitamin.
Contains All-Important Folic Acid The most important of these prenatal
nutrients is folic acid, which is part of the vitamin B family. Numerous
studies have shown the importance of folic acid during pregnancy. Complete
Spectrum of Vitamins and Minerals Other important prenatal vitamins and
minerals include vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E; calcium; iron; zinc;
niacin; riboflavin; and thiamine. Iron is vital because it facilitates the
distribution of oxygen through the bloodstream — essential for both the
growing baby and the mother. Vitamin A is also particularly important for both
mother and baby; it not only helps the growth of healthy skin, eyes, and
mucous membranes but also helps fight infection. For the mother, it
contributes to a healthy reproductive cycle and replaces vitamin A lost during
breast feeding. Calcium is an essential ingredient for the healthy development
of teeth and bones as well as helping blood to clot. Vitabase PreNatal Plus
includes several natural herbs and supplements to provide maximum benefit to
the expectant mother. Examples include raspberry, which has been used for
women during pregnancy for hundreds of years. DHA (docosohexaenoic acid), an
essential omega-3 fatty acid, is vital to the development of the nervous
system and visual abilities during the first six months. Ginger has a history
of use as an aid to relieve nausea and vomiting so commonly associated with
pregnancy.
