Thompson's Pregnafort may help to alleviate many of the minor ailments of pregnancy such as:
Research confirms the importance of nutrition both before conception and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
As well as being a multivitamin & mineral supplement it contains certains ingredients essential for a healthy pregnancy such as:
-
Folic Acid - Studies show that Folic Acid supplementation is especially important in the pre-conception period and the first trimester of pregnancy to ensure normal cell division and spinal cord development, and to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida.
-
Zinc - another essential nutrient to encourage foetal development and growth. Studies show that Zinc deficiency in pregnant women can directly inhibit the immune system of their offspring. Iron requirements increase during the second trimester due to a rise in the overall volume of maternal blood and because of the needs of the growing baby. Foetal Iron deficiency can cause eye defects, growth retardation, bone and brain defects and even death.
-
Calcium is necessary for the development of strong bones and teeth, for proper nerve and muscle function and growth. If sufficient Calcium is not supplied it is literally taken from the mother’s bones and given to the foetus.
-
Iron - Studies have shown that women are not receiving the recommended daily intake of iron. Sufficient iron during pregnancy is essential for preventing anaemia.
