What is NutraBlend?
NutraBlend is a safe, gentle, prenatal supplement. Prenatal supplements are
designed to optimize general health for women trying to get pregnant and reduce
the chances of birth defects. The NutraBlend brand of prenatal supplement does
not contain iron and gives women the option of determining their own level of
iron supplementation. (The importance of this is explained further below.)
Prenatal Support Provided by NutraBlend
NutraBlend contains B vitamins for energy metabolism and fetal cell development,
including folate, which may help reduce neural tube birth defects. Vitamins
C and D, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, and boron help support
fetal bone and cartilage development, and maternal bone maintenance. The antioxidants,
vitamin C, E, selenium, and beta-carotene support healthy cell membrane development.
Vitamins B12, folate and copper are involved in red blood cell development,
iodide is needed for normal thyroid development, and chromium for nerve development.
Iron is not included in this formula due to side effects in some women (constipation
and nausea), but should be taken separately, as directed by a health-care provider
to avoid anemia, especially during pregnancy. Your physician or health-care
provider can best recommend a daily dosage of iron that will best support your
needs while avoiding side effects.
Nutritional supplements including prenatal supplements do NOT replace the need
for a healthy diet, and cannot compensate for damage due to smoking, alcohol
or drugs that should be avoided during pregnancy. Iron should be taken separately,
at a level determined by your health care provider, to supply the amount needed
for placental and fetal blood cell development and increased maternal blood
volume. Recommended daily intake during pregnancy is 30 mg, compared to a normal
RDI of 18 mg, but this higher level may cause nausea or constipation in some
women. As much as 60 mg iron or more may be needed if anemia develops. Additional
calcium should be taken, as well, unless your diet is rich in dairy products
or other calcium containing foods. Increase intake of folate -rich foods such
as leafy greens, oranges, legumes, eggs and wheat germ. Protein intake also
should be increased during pregnancy to support fetal growth.
