Summavit Materna complex of vitamins and minerals for pregnant and lactating mothers capsules pack of 30 pcs

• Folic acid. Summavit Materna contains fourth-generation folate – Quatrefolic, which, unlike folic acid, is already a biologically active form of folate. Regular folic acid in the body must first be transformed into an active form with the help of enzymes. Quatrefolic does not require additional activation in the body, ensuring the necessary level of folate content during pregnancy and breastfeeding even in those women whose body cannot fully absorb folic acid. Folates contribute to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy, the normal functioning of the immune system, and are also involved in the processes of cell division. Insufficient folate levels in the body are a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the fetus. Since the closure of the neural tube occurs as early as three to four weeks after conception, for effective prevention it is necessary to start taking 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid daily before the planned pregnancy.
• Iodine. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, the need for iodine is increased, so a sufficient intake of iodine is especially important. If you have thyroid diseases, you should first consult a doctor. Iodine, among other things, contributes to the normal development of cognitive function and growth in children. Therefore, even before pregnancy, you should ensure a sufficient supply of iodine in the body.
• DHA (omega-3 fatty acid). Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is one of the most important unsaturated fatty acids during pregnancy. It is involved in brain development and vision formation in the fetus and infant during breastfeeding. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the body’s need for DHA increases and the amount of DHA coming from food sources is insufficient. DHA is transmitted from mother to child through the placenta and with breast milk.
• Vitamin D3. The level of vitamin D in the mother’s body directly affects the supply of vitamin D to her child’s body. Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of healthy bones. A small amount of vitamin D enters the body with food, it is mainly formed in the body due to sunlight hitting the skin. In the winter months, it is especially difficult to obtain the recommended amount of vitamin D. It should be noted that low doses of vitamin D cannot fully meet the needs of a pregnant woman and her child. The initial level of vitamin D in the blood and the possible recommended dose are individual and depend on many factors (season, skin color, duration of sun exposure, use of sunscreen, body mass index, diet).
• B vitamins. Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 contribute to normal energy and substance metabolism in the body and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 is also involved in the processes of cell division.
• Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and is necessary for the normal structure and functioning of cell membranes (shells). Vitamin E has a high antioxidant effect (prevents oxidation and destruction of cell membranes). Improves oxygen consumption by tissues.
• Calcium. The most important structural component of bone tissue. It also supports heart function, ensures muscle contractions, improves nerve conduction, normalizes vascular wall permeability, and participates in blood clotting. The need for calcium increases rapidly during pregnancy and lactation.

Take 1 capsule per day with sufficient liquid.

To ensure your baby has an optimal start in life, you should start taking Summavit Materna before pregnancy, as the development of many systems and organs occurs in the first few weeks after conception. You should continue taking it until the end of the breastfeeding period, as your baby also receives nutrients important for his life and development from breast milk.

Dietary supplements cannot replace a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.
