Pregnancy
During pregnancy, an adequate supply of certain nutrients is particularly important to support the growth of the mother's tissue and the development of the unborn child. Key nutrients in this context are:Folate/folic acid (vitamin B9): Folate/folic acid contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. It is therefore particularly important that women take sufficient folate before conception and in the early weeks of pregnancy. The recommendation to take folic acid during pregnancy often extends throughout the pregnancy to ensure that sufficient amounts are available for the growth and development of the fetus.
In addition, DHA and EPA contribute to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the foetus and breastfed infant (450 mg DHA and 250 mg EPA per day).
