Essential Nutrients for You and Your Baby
During pregnancy, getting the right nutrients is vital for both mother and child. The GNC Women's Antenatal Programme provides a carefully selected blend of vitamins and minerals to help meet the increased demands of this special time. Calcium (600 mg) supports the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, while iron (18 mg) contributes to the formation of red blood cells. Zinc (15 mg) plays a role in normal cell division and immune function. The formula also includes vitamin D for calcium absorption and niacin for energy metabolism. Plus, algae-based DHA (200 mg) is included, as DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the foetus and breastfed infants. These key nutrients work together to help fill nutritional gaps during pregnancy.
How to Take Your Daily Packs
This supplement system is organised into three daily components for ease of uses. Step one: take two prenatal caplets with food for the core vitamin and mineral blend. Step two: take one calcium caplet with food for extra bone support. Step three: take one algae-based DHA soft gel capsule for omega-3s. The entire system is designed to be taken together with a meal to optimise absorption and minimise stomach discomfort. Each pack in the 30-day supply is portioned for simplicity—just grab one pack per day to ensure you never miss a dose.
