Female Preconception Support Pack

Diet, lifestyle and environment may all assist in fertility. Certain nutrients have also been shown to contribute to healthy fertility and reproduction.

Nutrigold’s Female Preconception Support Pack is a convenient and cost effective package of four different food supplements focussed on supporting normal fertility and reproduction. A guide to fertility and food supplements is also included in the pack.

Supplements in this pack include:

1. Pregnancy Support Formula (NC150) – a multivitamin and mineral formulation containing a variety of important nutrients including zinc, which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, in a highly bioavailable and bioactive organic citrate form. Citrate minerals have been shown to have greater bioavailability compared to inorganic carbonate or oxide mineral forms. This hypoallergenic multi formulation is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Please see the Pregnancy Support Formula product page for more detailed information.
   
   
2. Pro-otic (NC003) - contains dairy-free beneficial bacteria strains including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. This hypoallergenic formulation is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Please see the Pro-otic product page for more detailed information.
   
   
3. EPA Marine Fish Oil (NC072) - fish oil containing 180mg EPA and 120mg DHA Omega 3 essential fatty acids per soft gel. Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of the foetus and breastfed infants. Please see the EPA Marine Fish Oil product page for more detailed information.
   
   
4. Folic Acid (NC100) – delivers 400μg folic acid per capsules as Quatrefolic^® - 5-MTHF - a specific clinically validated form of reduced and methylated folate with optimum stability and bioavailability. Folic acid is essential during the early stages of pregnancy as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and has a role in the process of cell division.

The Department of Health and NHS recommend that all women should take a daily supplement of 400μg of folic acid while they're trying to get pregnant and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects, such as Spina Bifida, in the developing foetus. Please see the Folic Acid product page for more detailed information.

Nutrigold’s Female Preconception Support Pack is designed to use during preconception stages and 1st trimester of pregnancy because of the inclusion of Folic Acid (NC100). All products can be bought separately so they can be continued throughout the 2^nd and 3^rd trimesters, simply excluding Folic Acid supplementation after the 1^st trimester.
