The benefits of pregnancy supplements.
Nutritional supplements can play a vital role alongside traditional foods and eating habits for mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding. While a balanced diet is the foundation of good health, supplements can help ensure that both mothers and their babies receive the essential nutrients required for optimal development and well-being.
Pregnancy Supplement FAQs
Increased Nutrient Needs: Pregnancy significantly increase a woman’s nutritional requirements.
For instance, the demand for certain vitamins and minerals such as folate, iodine, iron, calcium, and DHA (an Omega-3 fatty acid) rises during these periods. Supplements can help meet these heightened needs, particularly when dietary intake might fall short.

Not all supplements are created equal. Read reviews from other mums.
Activated folic acid in the form of methyl folate is biologically active, hence the term activated. It is directly absorbed into the body to reduce the risks of neural tube defects. Biologically active folate is not affected by metabolic defects such as MTHFR gene mutation. Folic acid is the synthetic form which needs to be broken down by the body into the activated form. Optivance products do not contain synthetic folic acid, rather, they only contain the activated form of folate.
The Optivance Mummy Smoothie for pregnancy is an alternative to prenatal supplement tablets. You take either your prenatal tablet or our Mummy Smoothie each day, but not both.
*The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) recommends folic acid is consumed at least one month prior to conception and throughout the first trimester of the pregnancy.
