Increased Nutritional Needs During Pregnancy

Nutritional Supplements for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding- Supplements help your body to obtain and absorb sufficient amounts of the necessary nutrients before, during & after your pregnancy term and while breastfeeding. (View Nutritional Supplements)

Vita-Lea - Because most of us do not get all the nutrients we need from diet alone – AND – a well balanced multivitamin/multimineral supplement is nutrition insurance for what we don’t get from our diet.

Energizing Soy Protein – Because you need more protein - BUT – you don’t need more fat and cholesterol.

B-Complex - Because B vitamins, especially folic acid, have been shown to help prevent birth defects - AND – most women don’t get all the B vitamins they need from their diet.

Sustained Release Vita-C - Because vitamin C can protect you and your baby from colds & infections - AND - many women do not get enough vitamin C from their diet.

Vita E Complex - Because vitamin E helps protect cell membranes during development - AND - many women do not get enough vitamin E in their diets.

Iron Plus C Complex - Because your needs for iron increase dramatically - AND – it’s almost impossible to get the iron you need from diet alone.

PLUS, FOR YOUR SPECIAL NUTRITIONAL NEEDS

Super Cal Mag Plus- Because you need extra calcium so that your baby can have healthy bones - AND – because it’s not easy to drink a quart of milk a day.

Optiflora - Because Optiflora builds up the mother’s stores of friendly bacteria, which are picked up by the baby as it moves through the birth canal, thus reducing the risk of Candida infection. Other supplements that may help meet your special nutritional needs during this period include

CarotoMax and Zinc (for normal cell development) and Fiber Plan Crunch (fiber is the natural way to achieve regularity).
