When and How Should You Take Prenatal Tablets?
Most health care providers recommend beginning a prenatal supplement prior to conception to build up nutrient reserves. For optimal benefit, take one MAJOR Prenatal Tablet each day alongside a meal. Doing so can reduce the chance of stomach upset and enhance nutrient uptake. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on any medicines, or have a pre-existing health issue, seek medical advice before starting. Regular use is important – integrate the tablet into your daily regimen to maintain support during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; if iron tends to irritate your stomach, avoid taking it on an empty stomach.
What Key Ingredients Are in Each Tablet?
Each MAJOR Prenatal Tablet contains a carefully selected blend of vitamins and minerals, each with a specific role in supporting maternal and foetal health:
-
Folic Acid (Folate): Contributes to normal blood formation and supports the healthy development of the baby's nervous system. Sufficient folate intake before conception and during the first trimester may lower the risk of neural tube defects.
-
Iron: Supports normal red blood cell production and oxygen transport in the body. Iron is especially important during pregnancy to help prevent maternal iron deficiency and support increased blood volume.
-
Calcium and Vitamin D: Essential for bone health. Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, promoting strong bones for both mother and baby. Calcium also supports nerve function and muscle contraction.
-
Vitamin C: Contributes to normal immune function and collagen formation for healthy skin and tissues. It also aids in iron absorption from plant-based foods.
-
B Vitamins (B6, B12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin): Support energy metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. B6 may also help alleviate morning sickness.
-
Zinc: Plays a role in cell growth and division, and supports immune health. Adequate zinc is crucial for foetal development.
-
Vitamin A and E: Important for vision, skin health, and antioxidant protection. Vitamin A contributes to the development of the baby's heart, lungs and kidneys.
This combination is designed to cover the higher demands of pregnancy and breastfeeding, providing a foundation for maternal wellbeing and foetal development. The tablet form ensures precise dosing and easy integration into your daily routine.
