A supplement designed to meet the needs of pregnant women.
This supplement is characterised by its simple, minimalist label and clear objectives, ensuring consumers can easily understand its purpose and benefits.
The formulation of Prenatal Multi is designed to meet the specific nutritional requirements of pregnant women, without any negative effects or unnecessary ingredients. A standout feature is the inclusion of methylated Vitamin B9, specifically the patented Quatrefolic form. This folate version can be directly assimilated by the body, even for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation. Adequate folate levels are crucial during pregnancy to prevent fetal malformations, particularly spina bifida.
With the exception of magnesium, all the vitamins and minerals in Prenatal Multi are present in optimal quantities. These amounts are considerable enough to meet daily recommended values set by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) without exceeding safe dosage levels. This careful balance ensures that expecting mothers receive the necessary nutrients to support their health and the healthy development of their babies.
These qualities have earned the product a nomination for the 2024 Jury Prize.
