Prenatal Vitamins: Prepare Your Body for a Future Baby

The prenatal vitamins are food supplements specifically formulated to meet the needs of women from the moment you start trying for a baby. Unlike multivitamins standard ones, their composition is rich in folates (active vitamin B9) and iodine, essential for supporting the proper formation of the neural tube and thyroid function. They also contain choline and DHA, for the healthy development of the baby. This is the cornerstone product for preparing a pregnancy.

To optimise your health and that of your future diet, synergy is key. We particularly recommend:

• B vitamins (B6, B9, B12): essential for cell division.
• Zinc and selenium: to protect eggs from oxidative stress.
• Vitamin D: for an immune system ready for implantation.
• Magnesium: to help regulate stress and nervous system balance.

If your diet is low in oily fish, check for the presence of'omega-3 (DHA). For targeted support, discover our vitamin B9 in capsules in its most bioavailable form.

A quality vitamins must contain nutrients in their most bioavailable forms (the ones your body actually recognises and uses).

Look specifically for Quatrefolic® (the active form of folates) and methylcobalamin (B12). It should also include iodine, and zinc, and choline, often overlooked but crucial for the foetal brain. A good product avoids calcium synthetic, which can hinder the absorption of other minerals, and opt for omega-3 protected from oxidation in separate capsules. Finally, make sure you have a good level of vitamin D to support calcium absorption from food.

The sooner the better! Ideally, start supplementation at least 3 months before stopping your contraception. Why this lead time? Because the maturation of an egg cell takes approximately 90 days. By saturating your reserves with nutrients essential ones even before you are pregnant, you provide the best possible foundation for your future child. It is also the time needed to correct any established deficiencies.
