An important carotenoid called lutein has also been added for its benefit to the developing baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFUNCTIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. It is generally accepted that pregnant and breastfeeding women should supplement a healthy diet with a variety of essential vitamins and minerals to ensure adequate intake for both mother and child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrenatal contains Metafolin®, a patented, natural form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). L-methylfolate is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for a developing fetus, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-methylfolate can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5,10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)). In certain populations, the body’s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin® contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLutein is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage, and is only available through dietary sources such as colored fruits and vegetables. This carotenoid has been found in the cord blood and the mother’s blood during pregnancy and post-partum in breast milk and colostrum. These levels directly reflect dietary intake of lutein by the mother. Lutein is found in the retina and the brain, and therefore a highly beneficial nutrient for the baby’s visual and neural development.†\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eINDICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrenatal may be a useful dietary adjunct for women looking to supplement a healthy diet during pregnancy and lactation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFORMULA (#201811-60X)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Vegetarian Capsules Contain:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin A (as natural beta carotene)..............................5000 I.U.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C (as ascorbic acid) ..........................................80 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)............................................800 I.U.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) ..........................50 I.U.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiamine (as thiamine mononitrate)...............................1.5 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiboflavin........................................................................1.7 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNiacinamide....................................................................20 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine HCl) .....................................2 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolate (as L-methylfolate, Metafolin®) ...........................800 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin).................................10 mcg Biotin...............................................................................300 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePantothenic acid.............................................................10 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(as calcium pantothenate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium (citrate) .............................................................150 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron (as Ferronyl®) .........................................................27 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIodine (potassium iodine) ...............................................150 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium (citrate)........................................................75 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc (citrate) ...................................................................10 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenium (selenomethionine).........................................75 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper (copper glycinate chelate) .................................1 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManganese (citrate) .......................................................1 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromium (GTF) ............................................................150 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolybdenum (chelate).....................................................75 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLutein (from marigold flower)……………………………….....3 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: Cellulose, vegetable stearate, silica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSUGGESTED USE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePregnant or Lactating women take 2 capsules daily with meals or as directed by your healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSIDE EFFECTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo adverse side effects have been reported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTORAGE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
