Protection

Folic acid (vitamin B) is considered an important vitamin when planning and during pregnancy. It is necessary for cell division, as well as normal homocysteine ​​metabolism, blood formation processes and maternal tissue growth. Folates enter the body with food. However, they are very sensitive to heat and light and are easily destroyed under their influence. The important protective function of folic acid is observed in the early stages of pregnancy, when low folate levels can cause the development of a neural tube defect in the fetus. It is recommended to take 400 mcg of folic acid daily for one month before and for three months after fertilization.

Vitamins B6 and B12 are necessary for cell division and homocysteine ​​metabolism. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) contributes to the normal metabolism of steroid hormones (sex hormones), which play an important role in reproduction.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consume sufficient amounts of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which play an important role in the prenatal and early development of the baby’s brain and vision. One of the most important omega-3 fatty acids is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Since the neurons of the brain and the photoreceptors of the fetus’ retina have high concentrations of this fatty acid, it is important to consume DHA during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first weeks after the baby is born. Nutrition experts recommend adding 200 mg of DHA per day from the second trimester of pregnancy until the end of breastfeeding. International nutrition experts also recommend including choline in the diet of pregnant and lactating women. Choline is a building block of cell membranes (phosphatidylcholine) and is also required for the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine and thus plays a central role in the baby’s development. Choline is also important for homocysteine ​​metabolism and liver function in the expectant mother. Choline deficiency during pregnancy can lead to increased levels of homocysteine, which is a well-known risk factor for pregnancy complications.

Coenzyme Q10 is involved in the metabolism of mitochondria, which produce the energy needed by cells. The largest number of mitochondria is found in oocytes.

Iron transports oxygen in the blood. Iodine normalizes thyroid function. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, protect cellular DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative stress. The Fertilovit F or 2 plus DHA formula contains vitamin C with a slow release, which provides a long-lasting effect and maximum protective effect.

Safety

Fertilovit F or 2 plus DHA is lactose, gluten and preservatives free. Omega-3 capsules contain exclusively highly concentrated and highly purified acid concentrates from the world’s leading brand Epax. This guarantees the highest, standardized and stable quality according to the strictest EU legal requirements. Fertilovit F or 2 plus DHA does not contain artificial dyes – the innovative vegan cellulose capsule is colored only with a colored extract from purple carrots.

Health

The additional load on the body during pregnancy often results in increased fatigue. Vitamin C, riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), vitamins B6 and B12, as well as magnesium and iron reduce the symptoms of fatigue in pregnant women.
During pregnancy, the hormonal system undergoes significant changes that can cause frequent side effects – nausea and vomiting, or the so-called toxicosis of pregnant women. Vitamin B6 helps regulate hormonal activity, thus eliminating the cause of toxicosis.
