Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold Formula 120
Description
Supporting mother & baby during pregnancy & breast-feeding.
Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Formula is specially formulated to provide the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of essential vitamins, minerals and oils a woman requires when planning conception, during pregnancy and when breast-feeding.
One capsule of Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Formula provides: 200mcg of folic acid whic may help reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and/or spinal cord (spina bifida).
- DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, which is present in breast milk and is particularly important for children's brain and visual development.
- Iron for red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.
- Calcium for strong bone development and maintenance.
- Iodine which is important for baby s normal mental development.
Blackmores Pregnancy and Breast-Feeding Formula provides folate which is recommended one month prior to conception for all women planning pregnancy. This should continue through the first 3 months of pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, folate plays a vital role in the prevention of brain and spinal cord defects such as spina bifida.
Recent research has shown that omega-3 long chain fatty acids are essential for babies health. DHA - the main long chain fatty acid in breast milk and also present in tuna oil - is particularly important for the normal function of the brain and nerves and for development of normal eyesight.
