Cytoplan: Pregna-Plan Pregnancy Multivitamin - 120 Tablets

Best-selling, comprehensive multivitamin for pregnancy gets a big upgradeCytoplan are passionate about supporting mothers and mothers-to-be, which is why we created our advanced, high-potency formulation, Pregna-Plan. Pregna-Plan delivers safe, gentle and bio-effective nutrients, just as nature intended, to help support and nourish you and your baby through all stages of your pregnancy journey, from preconception right through to the fourth trimester, including post-natal recovery and breastfeeding.Why is good nutrition so important for pregnant women?Pregnancy requires additional nutritional support, as mum is literally ‘eating for two’. Optimising nutrition during pregnancy increases the chance of a healthy pregnancy and birth. It helps bridge the ‘nutrition gap’ between the diet and what is needed for optimum support in pregnancy, which increases nutritional needs by up to 50%. Pregnancy particularly increases requirements for iron (for healthy blood and oxygenation), iodine (for brain and cognitive development), calcium and vitamin K2 (for healthy bones), and vitamin D (for immunity).What nutrients are in Cytoplan's best-selling pregnancy supplement?Pregna-Plan provides the government recommended levels of folate, essential for the baby’s growth and development, supporting a healthy pregnancy and preventing neural tube defects, including spina bifida. Methyl folate is the most bio-effective form of folate and is much easier for the body to use. Pregna-Plan also uses beta carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A (vitamin A is generally not recommended to supplement directly in pregnancy) as required. Pregna-Plan now includes even more bio-effective ‘bisglycinate’ forms of magnesium, zinc and iron, which are very well-absorbed and used by the body. It is also enriched with added phytonutrients - ginger, lutein, and blueberry. Lutein, a carotenoid found in dark green and orange coloured fruits, supports the baby’s eye health. Ginger has a long history of traditional use for soothing the gut, especially in relation to the nausea (‘morning sickness’) that can occur in pregnancy. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants.Pregna-Plan provides comprehensive nutritional support at optimum levels, including recommended amounts of key nutrients like folic acid. A tried and trusted formula used to support thousands of women through their pregnancy journey, it is fully refreshed and updated in line with all the recent scientific evidence, so you can trust it to support you and your baby.
