Why Methylfolate Matters for You and Your Bub
Many prenatal vitamins contain folic acid, a synthetic form of vitamin B9 that needs conversion in the body. ANDREW LESSMAN Prenatal Essentials skips that step by providing methylfolate directly – the bioactive form that your body can use straight away. This is especially important for mums with MTHFR gene variations, ensuring your baby gets the folate needed for healthy neural tube development right from the start.
Key Nutrients for a Healthy Pregnancy
This formula packs over 20 essential vitamins and minerals to support maternal health and fetal growth. Each serving delivers at least 100% of the recommended dietary intake for most key nutrients, including:
-
Folate (as methylfolate): Supports neural tube development in early pregnancy.
-
Iron: Helps maintain healthy energy levels by supporting red blood cell formation.
-
Vitamin D: Promotes calcium absorption for strong bones in both mother and bub.
-
Iodine: Supports thyroid function, crucial for cognitive development.
-
Calcium and Magnesium: Contribute to bone health and muscle function.
-
Zinc, Selenium, and Copper: Provide antioxidant support and immune function.
-
Lutein, Lycopene, and Zeaxanthin: Antioxidants that may support eye health.
-
DHA precursors (from alpha-linolenic acid): While not direct DHA, these nutrients support brain and eye development.
