Prenatal supplements are specifically formulated to provide essential nutrients needed by an expectant mother and her developing baby, with the latest products in the Biogen pregnancy range offering nutritional support for maternal health and foetal development.
Even when following a healthy and balanced diet, it can prove challenging to meet the increased nutritional demands that pregnancy imposes on your body.
Prenatal vitamins can help close any potential nutritional gaps while providing higher amounts of important nutrients, like folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients, which are vital to support maternal health and foetal development.
These nutrients may help reduce the risk of birth defects in your developing baby, prevent anaemia, support bone health, and boost your immune system.
Potential benefits associated with a prenatal supplement:
- Reduced risk of birth defects: Folic acid can reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
- Improved foetal growth: Adequate iron intake is essential for foetal growth and development.
- Healthy pregnancy: Prenatal vitamins can help support a healthy pregnancy by reducing the risk of complications and improving maternal well-being.
- Breastfeeding support: Some prenatal vitamins also contain nutrients that are important for breastfeeding, such as vitamin D and calcium.
Biogen pregnancy range
In your quest for a comprehensive solution, quality supplements like Biogen Pregnancy Pack Omega+ and Biogen Folate for Her can provide comprehensive nutritional support.
Biogen Pregnancy Pack Omega+
Biogen Pregnancy Pack Omega+ is a vitamin and mineral complex formulated for use before, during and after conception for added nutritional support.
This prenatal supplement helps support your whole-food diet, helping you meet a portion of your daily nutritional requirements during pregnancy in a convenient, easy-to-take dose.
Available in a 30-day pack, each serving consists of three components:
- 1 multivitamin and mineral tablet
- 1 calcium tablet
- 1 omega 3 soft gelatine capsule
Each multivitamin and mineral tablet contains B vitamins, vitamins A, C and E, folic acid, biotin, Inositol, iron, zinc, copper, and choline.
Every calcium tablet includes calcium (from calcium carbonate), magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2, while each omega 3 soft gelatine capsule contains essential fatty acids (EFA) from fish oil, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
Biogen Folate for Her
Biogen Folate for Her supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. This product may help reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily before and during early pregnancy as developing babies require folate (vitamin B9) for brain and spine development.
Taking a folic acid supplement can increase folate in the body to potentially reduce the risk of congenital abnormalities and birth defects.
It also promotes protein metabolism, aids in the formation of red blood cells, and contributes to overall health maintenance.
Each serving of Biogen Folate for Her provides 500mcg of MagnafolateTM, a patent-protected crystalline form of calcium salt (L-5-MTHF Ca) developed in 2012. The stable structure of the C-crystal form leads to less compound impurities, higher efficiency due to better absorption and a longer shelf life.
