Mum-2-B Gold and its action on the body

Adequate nutrient levels increases the chance of healthier babies and fewer complications. The physiological changes in a pregnant woman’s body and the growth of the baby requires certain nutrients for brain development, muscle and nerve function, bone development, eyesight and hearing.

Fish Oil

DHA has been scientifically verified to optimize brain and retinal development in the unborn child and may improve cognitive development and have a direct effect on the child’s intelligence.

Iron

The iron requirement of a woman more than doubles during pregnancy. This is due to increased red blood cell formation and foetal growth. Iron is also important for fatigue.

Copper

Manganese is an important mineral during rapid growth. It is also an important cofactor for vitamins to better absorb into the system.

Zinc

Zinc also plays an vital role for growth, development and enzymatic reactions.

Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 & B12

Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, & B12 are essential and their main function is to assist in energy and stamina. B group vitamins help break down carbohydrates, protein, amino acids and lipids into energy. They are also important in hormone production, iron metabolism and maintaining the health and stress management capabilities of the nervous. system.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important as it increases the absorption of calcium into the bones, ensuring a strong and healthy skeletal system for the foetus. If the mother is lacking in vitamin D, levels of calcium will also decrease. This causes the body to source it from the mother’s bones in an attempt to increase serum calcium. This will then affect the mother’s bone density and
strength.

Calcium and Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals, important not only for bone and teeth strength of the baby, but also for regulation of heart rate and muscle contraction. Calcium is also important to prevent osteoporosis later in life.

Choline Bitrate

Choline Bitrate is important for the baby’s nerve development, development and muscle function.

Iodine

Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones required for foetal development, particularly the brain and nervous system. It is also essential for the development and growth of red blood cells, bones, hair, skin and nails.

Calcium Folinate

Supplementation with calcium folinate before and during pregnancy has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of neural tube defects.

Calcuim folinate has deemed to be a more metabolically active form of folate. It is better transported through the blood brainbarrier into the central nervous system
