Prenatal Nutrients – Multivitamin and mineral formula for pregnant and lactating women, 60 Tabs,(Solgar)

The body requires a wide variety of food substances called nutrients which are the building materials for new and repaired tissue. Each nutrient has specific functions and must work together to help your body perform its necessary tasks. Among the nutrients that work together are vitamins and minerals, which are components of your body s enzyme system; the catalysts necessary for the maintenance of life. To help ensure maximum nutrient intake, it is important to supplement your daily diet with a multivitamin/multimineral formula, as many vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body and minerals cannot be manufactured by the body at all. Solgar s multivitamin/multimineral formulas contain a blend of active nutrients and complementary precursors, beta-carotene or a carotenoid mix, which provide a wholesome approach to multivitamin/multimineral formulas. An example of this based on research which suggests that carotenoids including alpha-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin may offer significant antioxidant and protective benefits. As a result, Solgar has led the industry in the development of specialty formulas composed of multiple vitamin/mineral combinations and synergists. Solgar’s Prenatal Nutrients Tablets are free of corn, yeast, wheat, soy and dairy products and are formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. To assure freshness and potency, store at room temperature 15 -30 C (59 -86 F). Store away from heat, light and moisture. Formulated for adults. Keep out of reach of children. Unique form of chelated iron (iron bisglycinate) formulated for maximum absorption without gastrointestinal irritation or the constipating effects that often accompany iron supplementation. Albion process patent No 4,599,152 Chelazomes.
