IRON AND VITAMIN D

During pregnancy, you need about twice the amount of iron as you did before you were expecting because your body uses iron to make extra blood for your baby. And yet, about 50% of pregnant women don’t get enough of this important mineral. Eating iron-rich foods and taking extra iron as your doctor recommends can help keep your iron level in check.

You’ll need at least 27 milligrams (mg) of iron every day during your pregnancy and While you’re breastfeeding. Safepreg contains 27mg of Iron which is the recommended amount of Iron required for pregnant women.

SOME PRENATAL SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT CONTAIN THE OPTIMAL AMOUNT OF IRON REQUIRED FOR PREGNANT WOMENOptimal iron supplementation during pregnancy also helps to prevent anaemia which is prevalent amongst African women. Lack of proper iron supplementation can cause fatigue and weakness during pregnancy.

Safepreg contains 10mcg of Vitamin D which is the recommended amount. During pregnancy, severe maternal vitamin D deficiency has been associated with biochemical evidence of disordered skeletal homeostasis, congenital rickets, and fractures in the newborn.

SAFEPREG BEFORE CONCEPTION

The major organ systems of the embryo’s body have already been developed by week 10 of pregnancy. Most women are not aware they are pregnant until around week six. Folic acid, calcium, potassium, iron and thiamine are all important for a healthy mother and child. By taking a prenatal vitamin when trying to conceive, the vitamins and minerals essential to a healthy baby are already in place.

Calcium is important for the growth of bones and muscles for the fetus. Prenatal vitamins are a good source of calcium, which is essential for proper weight gain during development. Lack of calcium during pregnancy can contribute to a lower birth weight.

Women who are trying to conceive need extra energy to support and maintain a newly formed embryo. Thiamine helps the body create more energy by breaking down carbohydrate stores, it also contributes to fetal brain development.

While the proper nutrients found in a prenatal vitamin has a significant role in the baby’s development and overall health, they can also play a large role in the mothers morning sickness.Because of prenatal vitamins’ amount of vitamin B6, the consumption of this can help ease nausea during pregnancy as a symptom of morning sickness.

IMPROVED FERTILITY (ZINC)

Zinc plays a hand in three essential ways to aid in the conception process. This beneficial element helps balance hormones, egg production, and maintain optimal follicular fluid levels.

ZINC HELPS HORMONE REGULATION

Hormones are vital to a woman’s fertility health. Zinc helps to balance hormones including progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen levels during a woman’s menstruation cycle.

ZINC HELPS EGG PRODUCTION

Zinc is vital to the development of eggs and its journey leading to fertilization. Science News shares a study that proves, “healthy eggs need a tremendous amount of zinc to reach maturity and be ready for fertilization”.

ZINC HELPS MAINTAIN FOLLICULAR FLUID LEVELS

Zinc can help maintain a proper follicular fluid level”.“Follicular fluid helps the egg to travel through the fallopian tube.

CALCIUM

When you’re pregnant, your developing baby needs calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Calcium also helps your baby grow a healthy heart, nerves, and muscles as well as develop a normal heart rhythm and blood-clotting abilities. Calcium can also reduce your risk of hypertension and preeclampsia.
