Prenatal Nutrition: It all comes down to you, Mom.

After that first single cell comes alive, every ounce of your baby’s growing body comes from you, Mom. The vitamins and minerals you consume during pregnancy are your baby’s fuel and those nutrients are your baby’s primary building blocks for growth. So eat wisely!

Unique daily nourishment for you and your baby

You and your baby need daily nutrition that supports a healthy pregnancy and fetal development. It’s no small challenge. Our diets alone may not support individual optimal nutrition, much less the unique nutritional needs associated with pregnancy. That’s why a daily prenatal multi-vitamin is common practice for most pregnant women. But not all prenatal vitamins are created equal. Look for one that offers whole-food complexed, organic nourishment vs. simple synthetic chemical isolates.

DHA and omega fatty acids

Finding a fish oil that is rich in omegas is a great way to support a healthy pregnancy. Fish oil contains an abundance of omega fatty acids, often referred to as "good fats”. These serve to nourish brain, nerves, and eye tissues and have also been shown to benefit cardiovascular and joint health.

DHA, in particular, is important for fetal development of your baby's brain and eyes during pregnancy. Emerging research suggests the whole complement of vital omegas found in a naturally pure fish oil may play an important role in delivering critical DHA to your growing baby.

Fatigue, stress & nausea

Fatigue and oxidative stress can be major issues for pregnant women. But there are certain foods that can help. Look for foods with high ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) ratings – like blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, prunes and raisins. Nausea, indigestion and constipation are also constant issues, and many think there’s not much they can do about it.  But again, Nature provides certain foods and herbs that may help, like ginger and honey as well as fermented rosehips and oats.

Whole-food nutrition, not chemical isolates

We think a prenatal multi-vitamin’s ingredient list should look more like an organic garden than a chemistry test. We believe in nourishment from nutrients delivered in a whole-food complex, not synthetic chemical isolates. That’s why New Chapter Canada’s Perfect Prenatal multi-vitamin is delivered in a certified organic, whole-food complex -- bursting with phytonutrients both of your bodies recognize and accept as food. Do you really want to nourish yourself and your baby with synthetic chemical isolates?

A prenatal multi-vitamin that’s gentle on your stomach

Pregnant women have very sensitive GI tracts. In fact, the fear of nausea even makes some pregnant women hesitant to take a multi-vitamin,. Not to worry. New Chapter Canada’s Perfect Prenatal contains the nutrients you need in the form of a whole-food complex your body can easily recognize and absorb.

Naturally pure, omega-rich fish oil

Finding a fish oil that is rich in omega fatty acids is a great way to support a healthy pregnancy and fetal development. While there are many "purified" fish oils on the shelf today, emerging research suggests the whole omegas found in a naturally pure fish oil like Wholemega Prenatal fish oil may play an important role in delivering critical DHA to your growing baby. And according to Health Canada’s “Food Guide,” salmon is a type of fish that’s particularly high in Omega-3 fatty acids-- just one of the many reasons to take Wholemega Prenatal fish oil that’s bursting with 100% wild-caught, naturally pure Alaskan salmon oil.

Natural defense against fatigue & stress

Every pregnant woman knows fatigue and stress all too well.
