Advanced formula to support women during conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding
The combination is key!
Doppelherz® aktiv Pregna provides not only 400 µg of folic acid but also additional important vitamins and minerals. Additionally, the capsules contain valuable omega-3 fatty acids, including 126 mg of DHA per day.
The intake of a supplement containing folic acid is a simple and effective way to achieve higher folate intakes.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that all women planning to conceive consider sufficient folic acid intake at least four weeks before conception. However, the need is also significantly increased during pregnancy and lactation.
Iodine plays a role in the normal production of thyroid hormones, which perform important functions in metabolism. Thyroid hormones control many metabolic processes such as growth, energy metabolism, bone formation, and brain development. In pregnant women, maternal iodine supply is crucial as it also provides for the unborn child.
Iron supports the normal formation of red blood cells and the normal oxygen transport in the body. The need doubles during pregnancy.
Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and assists in protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Magnesium contributes to the normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles.
Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps to decrease the risk of iron-deficiency anemia by favoring iron assimilation.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and thereby contributes to slowing down cellular ageing.
Vitamin D helps with calcium fixation in the bones.
Vitamin B1, niacin, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid contribute to the maintenance of good health, and energy release from proteins, fats and sugars.
Vitamin B2 contributes to protection of cells from oxidative stress, and to the normal functioning of nerve cells.
Vitamin B12 is involved in cell growth and functioning, and contributes to the functioning of the nervous system.
Biotin contributes to building healthy skin and hair.
DHA - valuable omega-3 fatty acid for mother and child
The intake of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) by the mother contributes to the normal development of the fetus's and breastfed infant's brain.
Humans cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids without the intake of corresponding precursors - they must obtain them from food. Important representatives of omega-3 fatty acids are Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, only a few foods contain these valuable fatty acids. Good sources include fatty cold-water fish such as salmon, herring and mackerel.
