Description Dietary supplement based on DHA, folic acid (from Quatrefolic) and choline, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc and iodine, specifically formulated for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Supplemental folic acid intake in women of childbearing age increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. Folate also contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, has a role in the process of cell division, contributes to normal amino acid synthesis and normal blood formation, and supports normal psychological function. DHA taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants. Vitamin D, vitamin B12 and zinc have a role in the process of cell division. In addition, vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis.
