Elevating Pregnancy & Postnatal Support with Our Enhanced Formula

Posted on

Zita West products have been supporting individuals and couples throughout their fertility, pregnancy, and postnatal journey for over 20 years. Guided by the latest clinical research and invaluable customer feedback, our mission is to provide optimal nutrition to support your well-being and your baby’s development through their first 1000 days.

A Comprehensive Approach: The Vital Essence and Revital Essence Ranges

Each stage of pregnancy and postpartum presents unique needs and challenges for both Mum and baby. That’s why we’ve developed a streamlined range to deliver crucial vitamins and minerals at the right doses for each stage of your journey. Let’s dive into the key nutrients and benefits at every stage.

First Trimester

The first trimester focuses on early organ development and differentiation.

  • Folate (Folic Acid): Shields against neural tube defects. Our active form, folate, is more effective at raising levels in the body.

  • Iron: Supports oxygen supply and development.

  • Calcium & Vitamin D: Lays the foundation for strong bones and teeth.

  • Choline: A brain-building nutrient essential for brain and tissue development.

  • Vitamin B6: Helps reduce nausea and supports metabolism.

  • Vitamin B12: Vital for nervous system development and folate absorption.

  • Iodine: Crucial for thyroid hormones and baby’s brain development.

Second Trimester

As your baby grows rapidly, nutritional demands increase.

  • Calcium & Vitamin D: Continue to support bone and teeth development.

  • Iron: Increased levels to meet the growing requirement, helping prevent anaemia.

  • Magnesium: Helps ease leg cramps and supports muscle function.

  • Vitamin C: Enhances iron absorption and supports the immune system.

  • Manganese & Vitamin K2: Work together to strengthen bone growth.

  • Boron: Assists in the optimal utilisation of calcium and magnesium.

  • Vitamin C & Zinc: Aid in wound healing and skin recovery.

Supporting Supplements

To complement the Vital Essence and Revital Essence ranges, we recommend:

  • Vital DHA: Omega-3 fish oil supports foetal brain and eye development, maternal mood, and cognitive function.

  • Vitamin D: Crucial for bone health and immune support.

  • Psyllium Husk: A natural fibre that supports gut health and eases constipation during and after pregnancy.

For your convenience, we’ve created trimester-specific support packs containing all the recommended nutrients for each stage, along with a dedicated Postnatal Support Pack to help you recover and thrive.
