Built by Nature Prenatal Vitamins for Women, 240 Soft gels

Key Nutrients and Their Roles in Pregnancy

Folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby's neural tube during early pregnancy. This formula provides a well-absorbed form of folate to support normal cell growth. Iron helps maintain energy levels and reduces fatigue, which is common as blood volume increases. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) contributes to normal brain and eye development in infants. Vitamin C aids immune function and enhances iron absorption, while vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation and nerve health. Together, these nutrients create a comprehensive foundation for maternal and infant wellbeing.

When and How to Take Prenatal Vitamins

For best results, take two soft gels daily with food to maximize absorption and minimise stomach upset. Begin supplementation at least three months before conception and continue through pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always follow the label directions and consult your health care provider if you have any questions. Staying consistent helps maintain steady nutrient levels for you and your baby.

Look for a Natural Product Number (NPN) on the label – this product meets Health Canada's standards for natural health products. Always consult your health care provider to ensure this supplement fits your specific nutritional needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prenatal vitamin if I eat a healthy diet?

Even with a balanced diet, meeting the increased demand for nutrients like folic acid, iron, and DHA during pregnancy can be challenging. Prenatal vitamins act as a nutritional safety net to help fill gaps.

Can I take these if I am not pregnant?

This product is formulated for women before, during, and after pregnancy. Non-pregnant women should consult a health care provider to determine if the nutrient levels are appropriate for their individual needs.

Are these soft gels easy to swallow?

Yes, the soft gels are designed to be easy to swallow, smaller than many traditional prenatal pills. If you have difficulty swallowing pills, you may still find these manageable.

Are there any side effects?

Some individuals may experience mild digestive upset. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult your health care provider.

How do I store the bottle?

Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain freshness and potency.
