Vitamin C supplement: natural acerola, an ally during pregnancy

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a nutrient that the human body can neither produce nor store for any length of time. A regular intake through diet or supplementation therefore remains useful, particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period, two phases when needs evolve. In this vitamin C supplement collection, we have chosen a naturally sourced vitamin C derived from acerola (Malpighia punicifolia), a small red fruit from South America recognised for its high vitamin C content.

Why choose a vitamin C supplement over a simple synthetic tablet? Because acerola delivers vitamin C within a fruit matrix, alongside compounds naturally present in the plant. Our products combine this acerola vitamin C with other ingredients specifically designed for maternity. You'll find here the Collagène Mama and its flavoured version Peach Mama, each providing 34.1 mg of acerola vitamin C per serving, as well as the snack Porridge Forever, whose acerola powder covers a portion of the daily nutritional reference value.

During pregnancy, vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue — two concerns that expectant and new mothers know well. This vitamin also supports the normal formation of skin collagen and increases iron absorption, which is particularly valuable when these intakes are closely monitored. To explore further, here are our ranges dedicated to pregnancy food supplements and iron, often used alongside vitamin C.

Key takeaway: vitamin C is a nutrient that cannot be stored by the body and requires a regular intake. Our supplements provide it in the natural form of acerola. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, helps reduce fatigue, supports the formation of collagen, and increases iron absorption. The nutritional reference value for adults is 110 mg per day according to ANSES.

FAQ - Vitamin C and acerola during the maternity period

This is a food supplement in which the vitamin C comes from a fruit — acerola — rather than from synthetic ascorbic acid. Acerola is a tropical cherry naturally concentrated in vitamin C. The vitamin C is thus delivered within the fruit matrix. At Jolly Mama, our supplements standardise the acerola extract for vitamin C content, ensuring a controlled dosage.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue, two common needs during pregnancy. This vitamin also contributes to the normal formation of collagen, which is part of the composition of skin and tissues. Your intake can come from food as well as supplements, in addition to a varied plate of fruit and vegetables.

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron of plant origin, making it a valuable partner when iron intake is being monitored, as is often the case during pregnancy and after birth. Taking a source of vitamin C with an iron-rich meal can therefore support this absorption. You can explore our collection iron to find out more.

According to ANSES, the population nutritional reference value for vitamin C is 110 mg per day for adults. Some of this intake comes from food, with fruit and vegetables leading the way. Our acerola-based supplements provide a portion of this reference intake, in support of a balanced diet, and not as a replacement.

Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, according to EU-recognised health claims, and it supports normal energy-yielding metabolism. This is one reason why it features regularly in everyday supplements, particularly in the post-partum period to support vitality. It does not replace rest or sleep, but it can complement a recovery routine. Our collection fatigue and lack of energy covers other avenues.

Benefits of our products for Vitamin C supplement: natural acerola, an ally during pregnancy

Understanding vitamin C supplements and the acerola form

Why vitamin C is a nutrient to include every day

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that the human body neither synthesises nor stores for long. It is gradually eliminated, which is why a daily intake is important to help reduce the risk of deficiency. It is found in many fruits and vegetables, though some is lost during cooking and food storage. During pregnancy and the post-partum period, when appetite and eating habits can sometimes change, a vitamin C supplement may help maintain regular intakes. This vitamin is also an antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells.

Acerola, ascorbyl palmitate or liposomal vitamin C: the most common forms

Vitamin C is available in several forms as a food supplement. At Jolly Mama, we favour acerola in our collagen powders, for a vitamin C derived from fruit.

Did you know: acerola is a small cherry from South America and one of the fruits richest in vitamin C in the world. This is what makes it a valuable natural source for our supplements.

How to incorporate vitamin C into a mama's routine

To enjoy vitamin C without any fuss, the idea is to take it with your meals. A serving of Collagène Mama or Peach Mama can be mixed into a hot or cold drink, in the morning for example, while Porridge Forever can be enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack. Taking your vitamin C with a meal containing plant-based iron may help with iron absorption. For skin and tissue comfort after birth, you can also explore our collagen range and our collection post-partum.

Mama tip: if you are monitoring your iron intake during pregnancy, take your vitamin C source at the same meal as your iron-rich foods. Vitamin C increases the absorption of plant-based iron.

Vitamin C is generally well tolerated at recommended intakes. At very high doses, it may cause digestive discomfort. Follow the daily dose indicated on each product. A food supplement does not replace a varied diet and a balanced lifestyle.
