In theory, an expectant mother on a healthy, balanced diet should be ingesting all the nutrients she needs to give birth to a healthy baby. However, with today's busy lifestyle, it is sometimes difficult to ensure that adequate amounts of all the vital ingredients are being included. For this reason, it is hard to overstate the importance of the need for all pregnant women to take these vital supplements; the ramifications of not doing so could prove to be disastrous.

The most important of these nutrients is Folic Acid, which is part of the Vitamin B family. Numerous studies have shown that folic acid can significantly reduce the risk of serious defects to the baby’s brain and spinal cord (e.g. spina bifida) occurring in the first four weeks of pregnancy.

Other important prenatal vitamins and minerals include: Vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E, calcium, iron, zinc, niacin, riboflavin and thiamine. Iron is vital as it facilitates the distribution of oxygen through the bloodstream—essential for both the growing baby and the mother.

Vitamin A is also particularly important for both mother and baby; it not only helps the growth of healthy skin, eyes and mucous membranes, but it helps fight infection. For the mother, it contributes to a healthy reproductive cycle and replaces Vitamin A lost during breastfeeding. Calcium is an essential ingredient for the healthy development of teeth and bones as well as helping blood to clot.

Vitabase PreNatal Plus includes several natural herbs and supplements to provide maximum benefit to the expectant mother. Raspberry has been used for women during pregnancy for hundreds of years. In 1941 British scientists discovered it contained a complex biochemical that acts as a uterine relaxant. Other benefits include helping with morning sickness, strengthening the uterus, possibly helping to prevent miscarriage, regulating contractions and relaxing the uterus during labor.
