The NOW Foods brand supplement is intended for pregnant women. The period of pregnancy requires special attention directed at supporting the stressed body of the mother and the developing baby. The product contains a comprehensive blend to support both.

The product includes:

• Vitamin C - L-ascorbic acid, is by far one of the most popular and essential vitamins for the body. It has antioxidant properties, strengthens teeth and gums, improves immune function and facilitates wound healing.
• Vitamin D - in the human body, it contributes to the maintenance of normal blood calcium levels and its proper absorption, and therefore supports bone and dental health. It is essential for muscle function, plays a significant role in processes related to cell division and also influences immune system function.
• Vitamin E - is a fat-soluble group of eight organic chemical compounds that include tocopherols and tocotrienols. In the human body, this vitamin contributes, among other things, to the protection of cells against so-called oxidative stress.
• Vitamin K - ( vitamin K1 (of plant origin) and K2 (of animal origin), synthetic K3) influences, among other things, the normal blood clotting. On the other hand, when supplemented together with vitamin D, it supports bone health.
• Tiamine - Vitamin B1, is strongly associated with the production of glucose in the human body. It influences adequate energy metabolism and proper psychological function.
• Ryboflavin - B2 is essential for the proper functioning of certain enzymes, the nervous system and the organ of vision. Its deficiencies lead, among other things, to problems with mucous membranes.
• Niacin - vitamin B3 or, in other words, vitamin PP, is the third B vitamin discovered by scientists. Among other things, it is involved in metabolic changes.
• vitamin B6 - is formed by a group of 6 organic chemical compounds. Among other things, it is responsible for the good functioning of the nervous system, immune system, metabolism: energy, protein, glycogen and homocysteine.
• - Vitamin B9 is very important for the development of the foetus - an adequate amount allows for the correct formation of the neural tube. In addition, folic acid affects the functioning of the digestive system, stimulates the formation of new red blood cells and protects the body against certain cancers.
• Vitamin B12 - otherwise known as cobalamin, is an organic chemical compound that plays an important role in erythrocyte production. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems, red blood cell formation, homocysteine metabolism and energy metabolism. In addition, adequate levels of cobalamin help to reduce feelings of fatigue.
• Biotin - vitamin B7 or, in other words, vitamin H. Biotin is most often referred to as the beauty vitamin due to the fact that, as studies show, adequate levels of it affect the appearance of hair and skin. Vitamin B7 contributes to the normal metabolism of energy and macronutrients, and also influences the functioning of the nervous system. Biotin deficiencies manifest themselves in hair loss and brittle nails, among other symptoms.
• Pantothenic acid - Vitamin B5 is primarily involved in the metabolism of proteins, sugars and fats. It influences the nervous system, reduces feelings of fatigue and tiredness, is responsible for normal mental performance, energy metabolism. Pantothenic acid also contributes to the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters.
• Calcium - considered a macrominerals. It influences bone and cardiovascular health. Calcium is also essential for the normal functioning of digestive enzymes, normal neurotransmission and adequate energy metabolism. This mineral plays a very important role in the process of cell division and specialisation.
• Iron - determines the normal development of the foetus and counteracts pregnancy anaemia. It is essential for normal growth, development and regeneration of tissues in the body. It supports the immune and nervous systems, but above all it is a component of haemoglobin, responsible for the transport of oxygen in the body.
• Iodine - affects the body's hormonal balance. It participates in the production of thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Their concentration in the blood influences, among other things, the normal development and functioning of the brain and the entire nervous system, as well as the muscles, heart or kidneys.
• Magnesium - is a mineral essential for humans to function properly. It reduces feelings of fatigue and tiredness, and is responsible for proper protein synthesis, muscle function, nervous system and mental function. It also influences energy metabolism. Without it, the body cannot maintain electrolyte balance or carry out cell division processes. This element also contributes to the maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.
• Zinc - one of the 24 micronutrients. It is thought to support the immune system. In addition, in men with reduced testosterone levels, it may have an effect on raising testosterone levels, thus helping to improve fertility and to maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood.
• Selenium - strengthens immunity, helps maintain normal thyroid function, and has a positive effect on the appearance of hair and nails. Interestingly, this element also affects spermatogenesis in men. The requirement for selenium increases in pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding.
• Copper - This element contributes to normal energy metabolism, the functioning of connective tissues, the nervous and immune systems, adequate hair pigmentation and the transport of iron in the body.
• Manganese - Contributes to the functioning of the nervous system. It is a component of enzymes responsible for the processes of proper digestion and absorption. It supports the skeletal system, as well as the condition of the skin, hair and nails. In addition, it has an effect on libido.
• Chromium - a mineral responsible for regulating macronutrient metabolism - chromium, naturally occurring in plant products, is an underestimated substance of great importance in the human body.
• Molybdenum - a mineral found in almost all tissues in the human body - most abundantly in the liver and kidneys. It contributes to the normal metabolism of the amino acid sulphur.
• Potassium - essential for the transmission of electrical impulses from cell to cell - action potential, and is responsible for maintaining normal electrical tension on cell membranes - resting potential. In addition, it helps maintain muscle tone and normal blood pressure, and is involved in amino acid synthesis.
• Natural fish oil - contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) - a polyunsaturated fatty acid with a 19-membered hydrocarbon chain and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - an exogenous fatty acid containing 6 isolated double bonds. Fish oil supports the cardiovascular system and vision, and helps maintain normal brain function.
• Borage oil - a source of omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, tannins, flavonoids, minerals and saponins.
• Choline - is essential for the proper functioning of the human body. It is part of selected phospholipids. This substance contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine and lipids. It also influences the proper functioning of the liver.
• Inositol - refers to a set of nine stereoisomers. It may improve fertility in people with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and also sensitise the body to insulin.
• Lutein - a yellow pigment belonging to the carotenoid group. In the human body, it is accumulated in the macula - responsible for its normal function.
• Licopene - a pigment that gives colour to red fruits. It is in these, preferably heat-treated, that it can be found most.
