Product Description: Fem Prenatal is a comprehensive, vegetarian multivitamin and mineral supplement designed to help pregnant women meet their increased nutritional needs. Since pregnancy increases the body's requirement for certain nutrients, most doctors recommend the added insurance of a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement. Taking one packet daily not only means more convenience, it means greater compliance. Now busy expectant mothers only have to worry about taking one packet daily—whenever they choose! It's ideal for healthy, happy moms and babies.

  • Just one convenient packet daily provides important nutition a pregnant woman needs, including:
    —
    Generous amount of folate—1 mg—to promote healthy fetal development, breast health, and healthy mental function and mood.
     
    —
    Enhanced antioxidant support—full-spectrum, all-natural Betatene® mixed carotenoids; 300% increase in natural vitamin E; and 5-fold increase in selenium.
     
    —
    Increased level of vitamin C—250 mg—to support healthy tissue maintenance, iron absorption, and immune function, as well as promote healthy development of cells, collagen, bones, and teeth.
     
    —
    Adjusted level of Vitamin A to support normal growth, healthy immune function, and vision, as well as to allow for the recommendation of multiple packets when desired.
