Vitamin D and Choline are essential for maternal health and fetal neurodevelopment, with recent research emphasizing the significance of vitamin D and its link to brain function in the child during pregnancy. Maternal reserves of choline decrease during pregnancy, and many pregnant women fail to meet recommended intake levels, which is particularly concerning due to its role in fetal brain development and potential genetic variations that may increase requirements.
Folate in Prenatal Plus includes calcium folinate and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the most bioavailable form of folate. This supplement supports normal fetal neurological development and a healthy pregnancy outcome by providing bioactive 5-MTHF, bypassing certain steps in folate metabolism that could be challenging for individuals with digestive concerns or genetic variations, such as MTHFR snips.
Prenatal Plus offers generous levels of B Vitamins, crucial for energy production, cell growth, and overall health. Additionally, it contains B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate), studied for its potential to soothe stomach discomfort during pregnancy.
For those at risk of iron deficiency during pregnancy, Prenatal Plus provides Bioavailable and Gentle Iron through Ferrochel® iron. This form is gentle on the stomach and enhances iron absorption, crucial given the prevalence of insufficient iron levels among pregnant women.
Other Beneficial Ingredients: Furthermore, Prenatal Plus includes essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, and E, mixed carotenoids, and selenium to address the increased physiological stress of pregnancy and support tissue maintenance and growth. The supplement utilizes TRAACS® amino acid chelates for improved mineral absorption and provides a 2:1 calcium-to-magnesium ratio to support muscle function. Additionally, it includes Vitamin K and iodine to ensure maternal sufficiency during pregnancy.
