Fertility & pregnancy

Which phase is right for you?

The journey to having a child and the period that follows consist of three phases, each with different needs. Below is where you should be. In each collection, you will find the products for that phase, with an explanation of each ingredient.

• Trying to conceive
  For the period when you are preparing for pregnancy. With MultiMama Ultimate, Myo Inositol 40:1 Complex, algal omega-3, and Vitamin D3. It is best to start several months before you want to try conceiving.
• Pregnancy
  For the nine months themselves. With MultiMama Ultimate, algal omega-3, FemmeFerro, Magnesium Complex, and Pregnancy Support tea.
• Postpartum
  For recovery after birth and the breastfeeding period. With MultiMama Ultimate, Vitamin C Ultimate, FemmeFerro, HairFormula Complex, and Mother Moments tea.

Two things that are common to all three phases

Folic acid or folate is the best known. The recommendation is to start as soon as you are considering pregnancy and to continue until the end of the twelfth week. Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy.

The second is DHA from omega-3. The mother's intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the fetus and of breastfed infants. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA, in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults of 250 mg of DHA and EPA.
