Life Extension Prenatal Advantage 120 Softgels Folic Acid Pregnant Nursing Women
Description
Our prenatal nutrition is a science-based supplement with today's recommended dosages of vitamins and minerals, plus nutrients like DHA omega-3, choline, lutein and zeaxanthin for both mom and baby.
Women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or who are nursing have unique nutritional needs. So, when choosing a prenatal multi-nutrient formula, pick one that’s formulated to deliver 100% of the daily value of the nutrients you and your baby need.
Our formula has nutrients that go beyond just vitamins and minerals, so you get comprehensive support whether you’re expecting, nursing or just trying to become pregnant.
DHA—DHA stands for docosahexaenoic acid. It's an omega-3 fatty acid that, among other things, promotes healthy fetal growth and development. Consuming DHA during pregnancy and nursing goes a long way toward promoting healthy brain and eye development.
And while most DHA is derived from fish oil, the DHA we include in our Prenatal Advantage Formula is derived from marine algae.
Lutein and zeaxanthin—Our innovative prenatal formula also includes carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin. These valuable phytonutrients support healthy eye and brain development.
Choline—Choline is an essential nutrient. Studies show that many pregnant and nursing women don’t get enough choline from their diets. Prenatal Advantage contains 50% of the daily value of choline, which supports healthy development of the brain and nervous system during pregnancy.
Bioactive forms—As with many Life Extension formulations, our Prenatal Advantage uses the most bioavailable forms of nutrients such as 5-MTHF folate and methylcobalamin vitamin B12.
