Increased nutrient requirements during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the need for critical nutrients such as folic acid, iron, calcium and B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, intensifies. Pregnant women are often faced with deficiencies in these nutrients, and require adequate supplementation to avoid the risk of anemia and other complications. Food supplements +mum Plusbaby's scientifically-designed formula offers 17 essential nutrients, including folic acid in the form of 5-MTHF for optimal absorption, supporting energy metabolism and cell development during pregnancy.

Distinctive role of Plusbaby food supplements

Plusbaby products, such as +mum and +omega 3 veganThey are perfectly in line with nutritional recommendations for pregnant women. They are formulated without artificial additives, colorants or preservatives, guaranteeing purity and safety for maternal and infant health. Rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals, these supplements play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy pregnancy, improving the functioning of the nervous system and contributing to the formation of red blood cells.

Key vitamins and minerals in +mum, prenatal vitamins for pregnancy

The +mum dietary supplement is specifically designed for the nutritional needs of pregnant and breastfeeding women. Here's the importance of some of its ingredients:

  1. Folate 5-MTHF (750 mg) : +mum uses a bioavailable form of folate, essential for maternal tissue growth and cell division during pregnancy. It prevents neural tube defects in the fetus and is beneficial for people with genetic variants (MTHFR).
  2. Vegan vitamin D3 (25 ยตg) : Derived from algae, vitamin D3 prevents pre-eclampsia, low birth weight and premature birth. It is crucial for normal bone development in children.
  3. Iron - Ferrous bisglycinate (21 mg) : This highly bioavailable iron prevents pregnancy-induced anemia, reducing the risk of complications for both mother and baby.
  4. Iodine : Iodine plays a crucial role during pregnancy. It is essential for the normal development of the fetal brain and nervous system. Iodine deficiency can lead to growth retardation, intellectual development problems and birth defects. It also helps regulate the mother's thyroid function, essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism during pregnancy. The Swiss Federal Office for Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs (FVOV) has formulated specific recommendations for this phase of life. In particular, it points out that women of childbearing age, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and infants under one year of age, do not consume sufficient iodine. That's why we've added iodine to +mum prenatal vitamins.
  5. B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) : B vitamins are important for maternal and fetal health. B1 (thiamine) helps carbohydrate metabolism and brain development in the baby. B2 (riboflavin) is important for fetal growth and vision development. B6 is essential for the development of the baby's brain and immune system. B12 is crucial for the formation of red blood cells and the development of the nervous system.
  6. Other vitamins and minerals : +mum also contains vitamins A, C and E, and minerals such as calcium, copper, magnesium, manganese and zinc, all of which play a key role in fetal development and maternal health.

 

In short, +mum provides an essential combination of nutrients, in highly bioavailable forms, to support the health and development of the baby, as well as that of the mother during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Folic Acid (5-MTHF): A superior form for maternal and fetal health

Folic acid, a crucial element for health during pregnancy, is well known for its role in preventing congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects in the fetus.

Folic acid, in the form of 5-MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate), is a superior form for maternal and fetal health, especially in the context of prenatal supplements such as those offered by Plusbaby. 5-MTHF is the biologically active form of folate, making it directly usable by the body without the need for conversion. This is particularly important given that around 25 % of the population have a genetic variation that limits their ability to convert synthetic folic acid into its active form.

Compared with synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF crosses the blood-placental barrier more efficiently, which is crucial for fetal development. It supplies the fetus directly with the necessary nutrients and ensures optimal absorption and assimilation of folate, thus protecting against fetal developmental abnormalities and supporting maternal metabolism.

The role of folic acid, in particular 5-MTHF, is well documented in the prevention of congenital malformations, notably neural tube defects in the fetus, and in the reduction of homocysteine levels, an important factor in cardiovascular health.

For more detailed information on the importance of folic acid in the form of 5-MTHF during pregnancy, you can consult the following studies and articles available on PubMed:

 

The 5-MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate) form of folate found in Plusbaby supplements, such as +mum, offers significant advantages over the synthetic folic acid commonly used in many supplements. 5-MTHF is the most bioavailable, biologically active form of folate, meaning it can be used directly by the body without the need for conversion. This feature is particularly important as around 25 % of the population have a genetic variation (MTHFR) that limits their ability to convert synthetic folic acid to its active form, leading to functional deficiency despite regular supplementation.

In addition, 5-MTHF crosses the blood-placental barrier more efficiently, directly supplying the fetus with the nutrients it needs for its development. This enables optimal absorption and assimilation of folate, ensuring maximum protection against fetal developmental abnormalities and supporting maternal metabolism.

The use of 5-MTHF in Plusbaby supplements therefore reflects a commitment to safer, more effective prenatal nutrition, meeting the needs of all women, including those with MTHFR mutations.

The importance of Omega 3

The +Omega 3 Vegan supplement, with 250 mg of DHA from seaweed, is particularly important for pregnancy for several reasons:

  1. Importance of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) : DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid essential for fetal brain and eye development. During pregnancy, the need for DHA increases as it contributes to the growth and neurological development of the baby. Adequate consumption of DHA during pregnancy is associated with better results in terms of cognitive and visual development in the child.
  2. Safety and purity : The use of seaweed as a source of DHA in +Omega 3 Vegan offers a major safety advantage. Seaweed, grown in a controlled environment, is less likely to contain heavy metals such as mercury, often found in fish. This is particularly important during pregnancy, as heavy metals can have adverse effects on fetal development.
  3. Sustainability and environmental impact: By opting for a seaweed source for omega-3, +Omega 3 Vegan offers a sustainable alternative that doesn't contribute to overfishing. Overfishing is a major environmental problem, affecting marine ecosystems and biodiversity. By choosing supplements derived from seaweed, consumers can help preserve the oceans while meeting their nutritional needs.
  4. Suitable for vegans: For pregnant women following a vegan diet, it can be difficult to find adequate sources of omega-3, usually found in fish. +Omega 3 Vegan offers a vegan source of DHA, ensuring that nutritional needs are met without compromising personal dietary choices.

 

+Omega 3 Vegan with 250 mg DHA from seaweed is an excellent choice for pregnant women, offering the benefits of DHA for fetal development while being a safe, sustainable option suitable for vegan diets.
