Vital Essence 2 is crafted to meet the unique needs of the second trimester when your baby's skeleton is forming, and their nervous system is maturing. Key ingredients like Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium support these crucial developments.
It’s perfectly fine to keep on using Vital Essence 2 for a few weeks after the end of the 2nd trimester, for example to finish off a bottle that you have only just started. The differences in the formulation of Vital Essence 3 are not huge, and have just been made in order to fine-tune the formulation to make it as specific as possible to the particular needs of your body as you move into this final stage of pregnancy.
Vitamin A plays a pivotal role in supporting foetal development, contributing to essential processes such as embryonic growth, immune system function, and vision development. However, it's crucial to approach vitamin A intake during pregnancy with caution, as excessive levels can pose risks. In our supplements, we prioritise the safety of both the mother and the developing baby by utilising a carefully chosen form of vitamin A—Beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene serves as a safe precursor to vitamin A, and the body converts it into active vitamin A only as needed, ensuring that levels remain within the recommended, safe range. This approach allows us to provide the necessary support for foetal development without compromising safety.
In the second trimester, your baby's skeletal system is taking shape, and calcium absorption rises. Vital Essence 2 provides the necessary nutrients like Vitamin D and magnesium for optimal bone development.
The mix of certain vitamins and minerals have been modified to meet the changing demands of mother and baby during the second trimester. There is a focus on the development of an infants bone, brain and nervous system development into the 2nd trimester, with a emphasis on nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and manganese.
Take 2 capsules per day, either together or split throughout the day for optimal absorption.
We've optimised the dosage for Vital Essence 2 to 2 capsules to simplify your routine while maintaining optimal nutrient support for you and your growing baby. The range has been optimised to ensure that we are providing the most important nutrients during each trimester at the clinically research amount.
