Product Information

The main reason this supplement is great for that first trimester is that the formula focuses on supporting hormone balance, cell division (the period of rapid growth) and energy (the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are notoriously exhausting). The vitamin B1, iron, magnesium and vitamin B2 included are all key players for reducing tiredness and fatigue and boosting those energy levels. The placenta is an organ shaped like a flat cake that only grows during pregnancy. It attaches to the uterine wall with tiny projections called villi. Foetal blood vessels grow from the umbilical cord into these villi, exchanging nourishment and waste products with the mother's blood.

Vitamin A and C: Vitamin A supports the baby’s eye and organ development, while vitamin C can help maintain both foetal and maternal health. Taking these vitamins is linked to reduced complications in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. However, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists warns that “Too much vitamin A can harm the development of your baby’s nervous system. During pregnancy, avoid any supplements that contain more than 700 micrograms (µg) of vitamin A and don’t eat foods such as liver, liver products (pâté) or fish liver oils that may contain this vitamin in high levels.” Vitamin C: Although not specifically recommended when pregnant, this vitamin helps iron to be absorbed. The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology says: 'This may be of benefit during pregnancy, at a time when women are at risk of becoming anaemic.'

DHA and EPA: These are fatty acids which are important for your baby’s brain development. Some women opt for a DHA and EPA supplement in the form of a fish oil or algal oil supplement.Magnesium contributes to the psychological function and also has a role in the process of cell division Cell Division This is a period of rapid growth.

For example, Boots A-Z tablets contain 23 essential vitamins and minerals but they also contain vitamin A. The NHS also recommends that anyone pregnant, or trying to be, should take a folic acid supplement. It is advised that you take folic acid daily throughout pregnancy. This is very important as it can help prevent major birth defects in a foetus’s brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida). The British Nutrition Foundation says you should also avoid foods that have vitamin A added to them - they may say 'fortified with vitamin A' on the label. However, you can eat fruit and vegetables that are high in carotenoids such as beta carotene from foods like carrots, pumpkin and mango.Whether your pregnancy is straightforward or you have pregnancy complications, prenatal vitamins can help you on your journey.
