Ultimate Pregnant Mama Pack - Trimester 3

Iron needs peak in the third trimester as your blood volume reaches its highest point ahead of labour. Vital Essence 3 provides elevated levels to support normal red blood cell formation and contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue during the final weeks of pregnancy.

Choline supports your baby's brain and spinal cord development during this final stage of rapid growth, as the nervous system continues to mature. It also plays a role in normal liver function and normal cell membrane structure in the run-up to birth.

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, and has been studied in relation to the muscle changes and sleep disruption common in late pregnancy. It also contributes to normal energy metabolism as your body prepares for the physical demands of labour.

Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function as you approach birth and to the absorption of Iron from your diet, working alongside the elevated Iron levels in Vital Essence 3. It also contributes to normal Collagen formation during the final weeks of pregnancy.

Iodine remains essential for normal thyroid function and your baby's neurological development right through to birth, as brain development continues rapidly in the third trimester. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism during the final weeks of pregnancy.

Vitamin D3 continues to support Calcium absorption and normal bone development as your baby's skeleton matures ahead of birth. It also contributes to normal immune function during the final weeks of pregnancy.

Vitamin K2 contributes to normal blood clotting and plays a role in directing Calcium towards your baby's developing bones rather than soft tissues. Vital Essence 3 provides it as Menaquinone-7, working alongside Calcium and Vitamin D to direct minerals where they are needed most.
