LifeSource Vitamins Pre-Natal Multi-Vitamins and Minerals with DHA - Mum and Baby Health - 180 Tablets

What Nutrients Should You Look For in a Prenatal Multivitamin?

A well-formulated prenatal vitamin should provide a comprehensive blend of nutrients to support both your health and your baby's development. LifeSource Pre-Natal delivers a thoughtful combination:

• Folic Acid (Folate): This B-vitamin supports the healthy development of your baby's neural tube. Adequate folic acid intake is essential before and during early pregnancy.
• Iron: Iron helps maintain healthy red blood cell production, vital for delivering oxygen to both you and your baby. The added iron supports increased blood volume during pregnancy.
• DHA (Omega-3): DHA contributes to normal brain and visual development in infants. It also supports maternal health during and after pregnancy.
• Vitamin D3: Essential for calcium absorption and bone health, and plays a role in immune function.
• Calcium: Supports the development of your baby's bones and teeth while maintaining your own bone density.
• Iodine: Important for thyroid function and your baby's brain development.
• Probiotics: Added probiotics may help support digestive health during pregnancy.
• Antioxidants (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene): These nutrients help protect cells from oxidative stress and support immune health.

When and How Should You Take Prenatal Vitamins?

Most prenatal vitamins are best taken with food to enhance absorption and minimise potential stomach upset. It is generally recommended to take your prenatal vitamin at the same time each day to establish a routine. Drink plenty of water. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by the manufacturer or as advised by your health care professional. For LifeSource Pre-Natal, the typical serving is two tablets per day (as directed on the label). For optimal results, start taking prenatal vitamins before conception if possible, and continue throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Why Choose a Prenatal Multivitamin with DHA?

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to normal brain and visual development in infants. LifeSource Pre-Natal includes DHA to provide this foundational support during pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester when rapid brain growth occurs. By choosing a prenatal with DHA, you are ensuring your baby receives this critical nutrient for cognitive and visual health.

What if I experience nausea after taking prenatal vitamins?

Taking your prenatal vitamin with a meal or at bedtime can help reduce nausea. If symptoms persist, talk to your health care professional about alternatives.

Are prenatal vitamins necessary if I eat a healthy diet?
