Vitamin Code RAW Prenatal Multi - 90 Vegetarian Capsules Garden of Life

What’s In It?
Garden of Life Vitamin Code RAW Prenatal is a whole-food supplement, providing mom and baby with the full slate of vitamins and minerals, from A to Zinc. It’s blended in a daily base of 870 mg of a RAW Organic Fruit & Vegetable Blend of 23 organic fruits and veggies, 77 mg of a Prenatal Digestive Comfort Blend, and 10 mg of a RAW Organic Sprout Blend containing more than a dozen types of organic sprouts. It’s the nourishment you and your baby need to maintain optimal health, from conception throughout breastfeeding!

What is RAW?
Made with individually “grown” nutrients using probiotic cultivation to produce food-created nutrients, Vitamin Code Prenatal ingredients are RAW, which means, for starters, that they include no synthetic binders, fillers, artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or additives commonly used in tablets. What’s more, they are produced below 115 degrees Fahrenheit and come with their natural cofactors, along with live probiotics and enzymes – just like the raw, nutritious foods you eat!

Why a Supplement?
There’s so much to think about during pregnancy, including the right nutrition for you so that you can give your developing baby the best start in life. In fact, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all pregnant women and all women of childbearing age take a daily multivitamin supplement containing Folate.

Before, During, and After
Ideally, a healthy diet should provide proper nutrients for both baby and mom, but many women in their childbearing years don’t get the nutrients they require, including folate and iron. Getting enough Folate is critical for proper fetal development immediately after conception – before you even realize you’re pregnant. During the first 30 days of pregnancy, Folate helps guard against neural-tube (which becomes your baby’s spinal cord and brain) defects. Getting enough Iron is important, too, because your Iron requirements increase during pregnancy. Adequate Iron reduces your risk of pre-term and low-birth-weight babies, helps you avoid anemia, and is used to transport oxygen throughout your body. Likewise, taking a prenatal multi after pregnancy, during lactation, ensures continued nourishment, since some nutrients, including Folate, are still required in higher amounts.
