Description
x- A superior prenatal multivitamin with high bioavailability and providing antioxidant protection
Prenatal Pro™ is a multivitamin/mineral complex, 4 capsules/day, designed to provide a wide range of complementary nutrients to an average diet. Its formulation is based on Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) and Adequate Intakes (AI) and takes into account average nutrient consumption as well as common deficiencies in typical Western diets to support healthy pregnancy and optimal fetal development.
Prenatal Pro is unique because it contains a blend of gamma and delta-tocotrienols, which are more powerful antioxidants than alphatocopherol and have exceptional health benefits. (See the Annatto-EMC technical sheet for more details.) It is also composed of a bioidentical form of folate with higher bioavailability compared to folic acid, which can limit the risks of congenital malformations associated with common genetic polymorphisms.
The optimal intake of vitamins and minerals for women who are pregnant or wishing to conceive is a subject of ongoing research. This includes assessment of the diet on which humans have evolved over millions of years as well as research proposing to redefine the optimal minimum levels of nutrients to support healthy DNA replication (also called genomic stability). All of this is relevant for the health of pregnant women and for the normal development of the fetus. The new proposed Australian RDA for folate (700 mcg) is higher than the US RDA (600 mcg), but is similar to the proposed estimate based on the evolutionary average intake of dietary folate which is 736 mcg.
Furthermore, beyond the recommended nutritional intakes for the general population, it is important to take into account clinical condition, age and genetics, all factors that are individual to each person, when estimating the nutrients necessary for good health. For example, as one study reveals, polymorphisms linked to the folate/homocysteine metabolic pathway may contribute to an increased risk for the development of certain pregnancy-related pathologies. The doses of vitamins B2, B6, B12, and folic acid contained in Prenatal Pro™ are adequate to promote optimal homocysteine levels for a large portion of the population, but not for individuals with single nucleotide polymorphisms, particularly those affecting homocysteine metabolic pathways and/or folate receptor activity.
