Product Description:

Prenatal DUO is a food supplement whose effectiveness and safety have been confirmed by test results, intended for women in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and after childbirth, throughout the breastfeeding period.

Prenatal DUO are two types of capsules that contain ingredients selected for their beneficial effect on mother and child:

• CLASSIC prenatal capsules containing recommended portions of vitamins and minerals (including folate, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B ₆ and B ₁₂ , iodine and selenium), enriched with lactoferrin and choline, in a vegetable cellulose capsule,
• Prenatal DHA gelatin capsules containing high-quality omega-3 acids , including the recommended amount (600 mg) of DHA per daily serving. For the added comfort of pregnant and nursing women, the capsule's matte coating technology reduces unpleasant fish belching.

Prenatal DUO contains the Epigenetic Nutrition Plan® formula . It is a set of highly digestible ingredients in portions recommended by experts, including PTGiP* . Components with a potential epigenetic effect (modulation of gene reading) can influence the child's development at an early stage and can determine, among other things, his health predispositions or future mental potential*.

Prenatal DUO is produced in accordance with the guidelines of the Nutropharma Quality System (NQS) program, which guarantees the safety and highest quality of the preparation. Moreover, Prenatal DUO is a product that meets the safety and quality requirements of food in the field of microbiological analyses, heavy metals and active ingredients carried out in a Eurofins accredited laboratory . Contains no artificial colors, preservatives or fillers.

What does Prenatal DUO contain?

knoll

This is a very important ingredient for the development of the lower nervous system, including the brain* . As study results show , choline supplementation during pregnancy has a positive effect on brain function, cognitive functions and stress resistance* . Supports the proper functioning of the mother's liver and placenta*.

Lactoferrin

The results of the study using Prenatal DUO confirm the efficacy and safety of iron supplementation with lactoferrin in women in the second trimester of pregnancy , as demonstrated by the maintenance of normal hematological parameters and optimal ferritin concentration. This is particularly important for the correct course of the pregnancy and its adequate duration, as well as for the well-being of the mother and the child*.

Lactoferrin also affects the functioning of the immune system* . It has been shown to have immunoregulatory abilities: it inhibits or stimulates immune mechanisms and contributes to the innate immune system, which is the first line of defense against pathogens. Furthermore, scientific reports indicate that lactoferrin affects the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and may contribute to the maintenance of normal delivery date* .

DHA

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid . DHA should be supplied from the diet in ready-made form, as our body synthesizes it in limited quantities. The use of DHA in the second and third trimester of pregnancy is particularly important for the development of the brain and retina of the child . The results of scientific research indicate that DHA influences the development of the immune system, including the appropriate reaction to allergens in the future*. During breastfeeding, the use of DHA can be especially important due to the further development of the baby's brain*.

Folate** (FolActiv®: pteroylmonoglutamic acid and calcium L-methylfolate)

Vitamin _B6 and methyl B12

They have a beneficial effect on the bioavailability of folic acid. F olActiv® + MethylB12 + vitamin B ₆ = maximum use of the effects of folates* . Vitamin B6 and methylB12 together with the folic acid contained in FolActiv® and choline support the correct metabolism of homocysteine. The correct concentration of this compound in the mother's blood has a beneficial effect on the development of the child's nervous system and on the course of pregnancy*. Methylcobalamin is a biologically active form, ready for use by the body.

Iodine and selenium

Iodine is an essential ingredient for the production of hormones and for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. Its combination with selenium supports the thyroid gland even better. The adequate amount of these ingredients in the pregnancy diet allows the proper development of the child's nervous system and cognitive functions , which may be responsible for the child's intelligence in the future*.

Vitamin D

It helps to maintain healthy bones and teeth of the child and also supports the proper functioning of the immune system of the expectant mother . Prenatal DUO contains the recommended daily dose of vitamin D of 2000 IU for a pregnant woman*.

iron

The combination of iron with folic acid contained in FolActiv® and vitamins B6 and B12 actively supports blood formation processes . Iron contributes to increasing the level of hemoglobin during pregnancy and to the proper mental development of the child*. Prenatal DUO contains microencapsulated iron, which affects its bioavailability and stomach protection.
