Description

Features/Indications

Indications:Pregnancy
Plus 1-2-3 is a multi-nutritional formula containing vitamins, minerals
and nutrients to assist in maintaining the health of both mother and
baby during preconception, pregnancy and breastfeeding.Pregnancy
Plus 1-2-3 has been formulated to be taken twice a day, to enable
optimal levels of nutrients to be taken conveniently to help meet the
increased nutritional demands during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Comes
in an easy to swallow tablet with a subtle vanilla flavour and smell
for those with taste and smell hypersensitivities of pregnancy.Folic
acid, which if taken daily for one month before conception and during
pregnancy, may reduce the risk of women having a child with birth
defects of the brain and/or spinal cord such as the neural tube defects
known as spina bifida and anencephaly.Iodine
deficiency is re-emerging as a significant problem in Australia and New
Zealand and recent research has identified Australian pregnant and
breastfeeding women to be at risk of iodine deficiency. Iodine
requirements are increased during pregnancy and adequate maternal iodine
levels are important for healthy brain development. To meet the
increased demands of pregnancy, it is recommended that iodine
supplementation be taken prior to trying to conceive and throughout
pregnancy and breastfeeding.Choline
plays a key role in foetal development. Choline is required for the
healthy development of the brain and nervous system during pregnancy and
whilst breastfeeding.Iron
requirements are increased during pregnancy and iron is necessary for
the formation of haemoglobin which transports oxygen in red blood cells
to the tissues.Contains
naturally sourced betacarotene which is converted to vitamin A in the
body and is an alternative to vitamin A supplementation during
pregnancy.Zinc
is an essential trace element that plays an important role in growth
and development. Zinc deficiency is common in pregnant and lactating
women and is important for DNA replication, cell division and growth.Folic acid, vitamin B12 and biotin are important for DNA replication, cell division and growth.Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are necessary for oxygen transport in red blood cells so assist in maintaining normal blood.Folic acid and vitamin B12 are necessary for the production of red blood cells.Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorous, therefore playing a role in the development of healthy bones.Chromium plays a role in the maintenance of normal, healthy sugar metabolism in healthy individuals.Vitamins
B1, B2, B5 and nicotinamide assist in energy production to help support
the increased energy demands of pregnancy and lactation.Assists in general well-being prior to conception and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Helps maintain normal and healthy infant development.
