It includes nutrients to help:
Get the body ready for conception and pregnancy
Support a healthy pregnancy and healthy foetal development
Top up the diets of breastfeeding women (which may be inadequate because they have greater nutritional requirements than other women)
Among other nutrients, Oriental Botanicals Conception and Pregnancy Care includes:
Activated forms of folic acid (comprised of 250mcg folinic acid and 250mcg 5-MTHF as Quatrefolic); these forms of folic acid do not require as much metabolic processing as regular folic acid before they can be utilised by the body
Activated forms of vitamin B12 (mecobalamin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate, P5P) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin sodium phosphate)
Vitamin D3, which is needed for bone health
Iodine, adequate intake of which is needed for normal foetal development, including supporting the development of the brain and central nervous system
Antioxidants to support preconception health by reducing free radical formation in the body
Iron, which is needed in greater than usual quantities during pregnancy to support red blood cell production for your baby
