Extra nutrients for the health of mother and child. Folic acid in the dosage recommended by the Health Council & midwives Quatrefolic®: best folic acid available worldwide With B vitamins for energy levels
Multi Day & Nacht® Mama has improved! The formula is now completely vegan, with, for example, vitamin D from algae (Vita-algae D®) instead of sheep's wool fat. Since pregnant women regularly experience nausea and therefore have difficulty swallowing, we regularly received feedback that the tablet was too large. That's why we made the pill smaller. To make this improvement possible, magnesium has been removed from the formula. Furthermore, the choline dosage has been increased, especially for pregnant women.
Vitamins and minerals from food
A varied diet is essential to get enough vitamins and minerals from food. So make sure you vary fresh, unprocessed foods, such as vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, legumes, dairy, nuts, kernels and seeds, for optimal nutritional value. However, if you are pregnant, there are some nutrients that require extra attention:
Folic acid: green vegetables such as spinach, kale and broad beans are especially good sources. Whole grain products, meat and dairy also contain folic acid.
Omega 3: DHA is an important building block for the eyes and brain of the fetus. The advice is to eat (oily) fish twice a week when you are pregnant. Choose trout, salmon or tilapia.
Calcium: found in dairy, green vegetables and whole grain products.
Iodine: mainly found in bread, dairy, eggs and fish.
Iron: animal foods such as meat and fish and vegetable products such as whole grain products, legumes and spinach.
In addition, there are things you should not eat too much of, such as raw products, liver products, certain types of fish, coffee, licorice and soy products.
Multi Day Mom
The Multi Day Mama has been developed for women who want to have children, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. The formula therefore contains ingredients that are important during pregnancy, such as folic acid, choline and iron. Furthermore, a full B complex supports the energy level. Something you can use during this period!
High dosage of folic acid as recommended by midwives
Midwives recommend supplementation with 400 mcg of folic acid per day during the course of pregnancy. Several complications that can occur during pregnancy are related to an inadequate folic acid level. Folic acid supplementation increases the folate status of the mother. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for the development of spina bifida in the developing fetus.
Since it takes four weeks for folic acid to be absorbed into your body, the recommendation applies from the moment you want to become pregnant. Folic acid contributes to the formation of the placenta and the growth of the fetus.
Quatrefolic®: best folic acid worldwide
Quatrefolic® has superior bioavailability compared to the commonly used forms of folic acid. Regular forms of folic acid must first be converted to 5-MTHF before they are functional for the body. Quatrefolic® is the already converted form 5-MTHF, so the body does not need any further auxiliary nutrients to experience the effect of folic acid.
Choline
Breast milk contains a lot of choline. This is because newborn babies cannot yet produce choline. There is therefore an increased need for choline during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We have therefore added 110 milligrams of choline to the Multi Day Mama.
B vitamins for energy levels
The Multi Day Mama is formulated with a complete vitamin B complex, which activates the natural energy in the body. In addition, B vitamins are good for concentration, support the immune system and help with fatigue.
Vitamin B6 in the safest form
There are two forms that are used in supplements, pyridoxine and P5P. Research from the University of Maastricht shows that side effects of high doses of B6 can mainly be attributed to pyridoxine. We therefore only choose the safe form P5P in our products. Moreover, we only use safe dosages. The Multi Day Mama contains 1.8 milligrams of B6, far below the maximum acceptable daily dose of 21 milligrams.
Active form B12
We can obtain vitamin B12 in different forms. In our body, these forms are converted into methylcobalamin, the active form of B12 (see Figure 1). However, these conversion processes can vary from person to person. The Multi Dag Mama therefore only contains the active forms that no longer need to be converted. This makes them immediately usable for our body.
Multi Night Mom
At night, as a (expectant) mother, you want to relax and sleep. The Multi Night Mama contains a number of important nutrients that support you during pregnancy, such as vitamin D, vitamin C and iron. We have also chosen beta-carotene, the safe precursor of vitamin A, and calcium from red algae for this formula.
Vitamin D for bones and muscles
During pregnancy it is important to get enough vitamin D. This nutrient is important for maintaining strong bones, has a positive influence on the immune system, is good for the muscles and helps keep the teeth strong.
Vitamin D and vitamin K are partners in crime for calcium balance. Together they play a role in calcium absorption into the bones and bone production. Vitamin D contributes to the absorption of calcium from food.
100% vegan
The vitamin D3 in the Multi Night Woman comes from algae, making it suitable for vegans. Normally the nutrient is extracted from sheep's wool, but Vita-algae D® is 100% vegetable. With a dose of 20 micrograms, it is usually not necessary to take a separate vitamin D supplement.
Easily absorbable calcium from Red Algae
Due to their unique structure, red algae are able to absorb minerals from seawater, including a large amount of calcium. They also contain magnesium, potassium and phosphorus, among other things. This algae is therefore appropriately called chalk weed in English.
Sustainably sourced Aquamin®
Aquamin® originates from the seabed of the west coast of Ireland and the northwest coast of Iceland. These Atlantic waters are pollution-free, clear and extremely mineral-rich. This red algae is extracted exclusively in a sustainable manner. In 2016, Aquamin® won the Ingredient of the Year Award in the Healthy Aging category.
Iron & vitamin C
Iron supports the production of red blood cells, helps with normal oxygen transport and plays a role in the process of tissue growth. It is therefore important to get enough of this during pregnancy. If you are unsure whether you are getting enough iron, you can discuss this with your midwife.
The combination with vitamin C increases the absorption of iron. Together they also support the immune system and the maintenance of a clear mind. The Multi Mama contains a generous dose of vitamin C (130 mg in the day, 100 mg in the night), so it is often not necessary to supplement separately.
