Too many women are vitamin deficient during pregnancy, which means a
large percentage of children are born without proper nutrition. Don’t let your
child be one of them. Be sure to give your baby a head start by adding just the
right supplements to your diet.
To get every nutrient your body may need, you may want further
supplementation. Consider using the following supplements and USANA Foods to
give your baby a better beginning:
◾ Essentials — The Essentials can serve as an
excellent prenatal multivitamin. Proper amounts of folic acid, zinc, and other
important vitamins and minerals are all present in Essentials. A full daily
dosage of the Essentials (3 tablets a day) provides 1,000 mcg of folic acid.
Studies show that taking at least 400 mcg of folic acid can reduce the risk of
these birth defects by as much as 70%.
◾BiOmega™ — This purified fish oil helps support a
healthy pregnancy and is full of omega-3 fatty acids that are critical to the
development of the baby’s brain before birth as well as proper eye development
and growth.
◾Active Calcium™ Chewable — This supplement helps
both mother and baby get the bone-building minerals they need. It also works as
an antacid to help reduce mild heartburn symptoms.
◾Digestion/Detox — In the months leading up to
conception, it is a good idea to properly remove unwanted toxins through
healthy digestion. Limit your exposure and try using USANA Probiotic, Digestive
Enzyme, Hepasil DTX™, and Fibergy® Plus.
◾USANA Foods — It’s important to be at a healthy
weight before you get pregnant. Get your body in prime condition to carry a
child with the help of Nutrimeal™, Nutrition Bars, and the RESET™
weight-management program.
If it’s time to start planning for two, remember to count in nutrition
and build a solid foundation of health for your future family.
