Pregnancy and nursing are critical times to optimize a mother's health and nutrition, which is important for both for mom and baby. Overall nutritional and caloric needs greatly increase during this time. However, it is often difficult for a woman to fulfill her daily nutrient needs through diet alone. Thorne’s Prenatal Support Stack helps fill nutrient gaps. Thorne’s Prenatal Support Stack contains the following three products Basic Prenatal is a daily multi-vitamin/mineral supplement designed to be gentle and effective for women trying to conceive or who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Basic Prenatal contains well-absorbed, tissue-ready vitamins and minerals that are gentle on the stomach and non-constipating. And it’s made without the additives and coatings found in mainstream prenatal supplements. Prenatal DHA provides support for mom and baby during pregnancy and through nursing with two essential omega-3 fatty acids – DHA and EPA. These omega-3s support a healthy pregnancy and development of baby's brain and nervous system. 5-MTHF 1 mg is an active, tissue-ready form of folate. Folate is essential for healthy fetal brain and spinal cord development. Approximately 60% of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that makes it difficult for their methylation cycle to function optimally. For these individuals, methylated vitamins, like Thorne’s 5-MTHF, provide essential nutritional support. Benefits of Thorne’s Prenatal Support Stack First Trimester Folate facilitates healthy brain and spinal cord development. The Prenatal Support Stack includes the bioactive form of folate – 5-MTHF. Vitamins C, B6, and K have been shown to benefit morning sickness. Choline and DHA support development of baby’s brain, eyes, and nervous system. Second Trimester Contains the well-absorbed and well-researched iron bisglycinate to meet a pregnant woman’s increased need for iron. Third Trimester Provides the extra nutrients needed for continued healthy fetal development and to prepare mom and baby for birth.
