Natalben Twin, 30 Capsules

In multiple pregnancy there is an increased demand for nutrients from the mother with a rapid loss of maternal stores. It is, therefore, a period of life in which special attention must be paid to diet, as the food ingested by the mother is the main source of food for the babies. The Spanish Society of Gynaecology provides specific nutritional recommendations for this particular situation. NATALBEN TWIN is the first product with a formulation adjusted to this increased demand for certain nutrients and helps to cover the nutritional requirements of women throughout multiple pregnancies. Role of the main components of NATALBEN Twin: Folic acid and Vitamin B12: Folic acid acts from the beginning of pregnancy, which is why its supplementation is recommended for pregnant women. This vitamin contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy. A supplementary intake of folic acid increases the maternal folate level. Low maternal folate is a risk factor for neural tube defects in the developing foetus. This beneficial effect is reported to be obtained with a daily supplemental intake of at least 400 µg of folic acid for at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception. In addition, folic acid and vitamin B12 contribute to the process of cell division. Iodine: During pregnancy the need for iodine increases and contributes to normal cognitive function. Iron: During pregnancy there is a considerable increase in iron requirements to ensure the mother's iron stores and the child's adequate intake. It is a very important mineral and contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and to the process of cell division. Vitamin D3: During pregnancy, adequate levels are needed in the mother for calcium to be properly absorbed. In addition, vitamin D is necessary for normal bone growth and development in children. Omega-3 fatty acids: Maternal intake of DHA contributes to normal brain and eye development in the foetus. Pregnant women are informed that this beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200mg of DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults.
