5 REASONS TO TAKE A FOOD SUPPLEMENT DURING PREGNANCY 🔍

Baby Bump is a pregnancy food supplement a comprehensive multivitamin (vitamins, minerals, choline and DHA) in just 2 capsules, making it easy to take.

During pregnancy:
The nutritional requirement for certain nutrients (vitamin B9, zinc, iodine, etc.) increases during pregnancy (1).
Baby Bump provides, among other nutrients: methylated folate (5-mthf), choline, DHA, iodine, selenium, zinc and B vitamins.
- 400 µg of methylated folate (5-mthf) (vitamin B9) per day in the active form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic®), which is directly absorbed by the body (2). Methylated folate (5-mthf) supplementation during pregnancy, particularly in the early stages, is recommended*. Low folate status increases the risk of neural tube defects.
- VitacholineTM, a highly absorbable choline bitartrate form (3).
- 200 mg of DHA from very high-quality fish oil, Qualitysilver® guaranteed and friend of the sea® certified, extra pure and free from pollutants. Maternal consumption of DHA contributes to the normal development of the foetus’s brain** and to the mother’s normal brain function.
- 150 ug of iodine, which contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function, and selenium, which also contributes to normal thyroid function. The thyroid is involved in many bodily functions, including growth (4). We use an inorganic form of iodine, potassium iodide, more than 90% of which is absorbed by the body (5).
- 20​​µg of vitamin D in the form of vitamin D3, the form best absorbed and utilised by the body (6). Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
- Zinc, which has a role in the process of cell division. We use zinc bisglycinate, a form that is very well absorbed by the body (7).

When trying for a baby:
Baby Bump provides many nutrients: methylated folate (5-mthf), choline, DHA, zinc and B vitamins. These include:
- 400 µg of methylated folate (5-mthf) (vitamin B9) per day in the active form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic®), which is directly absorbed by the body (2). During the period around conception, an insufficient intake of vitamin B9 (methylated folate (5-mthf)) could increase the risk of neural tube defects*.
- VitacholineTM, a highly absorbable choline bitartrate form (3).
- 200 mg of DHA from very high-quality fish oil, Qualitysilver® guaranteed and friend of the sea® certified, extra pure and free from pollutants.

*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 400 μg of folic acid, starting at least one month before conception and continuing until three months after conception.
**The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA, in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults, namely 250 mg of DHA and EPA.

Don't worry if:
You forgot to take your supplements one day.
It's not a disaster to forget to take your vitamins for a day! If this happens, make sure you eat a varied and balanced diet in sufficient quantities and drink plenty of water. Remember that food is far more important than your supplements.

Food supplements should be consumed as part of a healthy lifestyle and should not replace a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
