We are often told to avoid alcohol, raw meat, and caffeine during pregnancy. But what exactly should we do for a healthy pregnancy? Our editorial team researched it for you!
It starts before pregnancy
Daily, we receive many advice requests from pregnant women who want the best for their child. We love seeing the growing awareness around health. And yet, we would like to start working on these women's health even earlier in the process.
We don't have 100% influence on how our pregnancy progresses, but this doesn't mean we have no influence. A child is better able to develop well in a healthy body, and that starts even before pregnancy. Do you wish to have children? Be aware that you can already do something for your future child now.
Brain Food becomes even more important
From our perspective, we strive for a healthy lifestyle and a balanced brain for every individual. As important as Brain Food already is, it becomes even more crucial during pregnancy. You are no longer nourishing only yourself, but also your child.
During pregnancy, it is therefore extra important to start with Brain Food. Eat plenty and varied vegetables, drink plenty of water, eat fish. If you do not eat fish, it is important to consider an Omega 3 supplement. You can also always test the ratio between Omega 3 and Omega 6 in your blood first, as the balance here tells us a lot about our health. In addition, make sure you get enough vitamins and minerals.
Enough vitamins and minerals? Easier said than done... Nowadays, the soil is so depleted that it's normally no longer possible to get enough vitamins and minerals. Let alone during pregnancy. During pregnancy, our body needs some extras.
For all (future) mothers
Especially for all mothers and mothers-to-be, we developed Multi Mama. This is a multivitamin tailored to the needs of women before, during, and after pregnancy. The supplement contains folic acid, iron, vitamin C, vitamin D, and B vitamins, among others.
Folic Acid
Our Multi Mama contains 200% of the RDA of folic acid (vitamin B11). This is a water-soluble vitamin that our body cannot produce itself, so we must get this vitamin from our food. Folic acid contributes to the growth of the unborn child during pregnancy and is therefore advised to pregnant women.
Iron
This supplement also contains iron. Iron plays a role in the process of tissue growth and development. In addition, iron contributes to the development of children's cognitive functions and supports the immune system.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is important for the absorption of iron. In addition, vitamin C has many other functions. Vitamin C supports the bones, helps release energy from food, supports the body's defenses, has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system, and contributes to a clear mind.
Vitamin D
Besides the fact that we always recommend vitamin D during the winter months, this vitamin is also recommended during pregnancy.
B vitamins
Finally, Multi Mama contains various B vitamins. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, and B12 activate the natural energy in the body. Multi Mama also contains pyridoxal-5-phosphate, which is a co-enzymatic form of vitamin B6 that does not need to be converted and is directly active in the body.
