Orthomol Natal
A food supplement for women before, during and after pregnancy.

If you are planning to have a child, it is important to ensure that your body receives an ideal supply of vitamins, trace elements and minerals prior to pregnancy because they have a beneficial effect on fertility. An adequate supply of micronutrients helps to ensure an ideal course of pregnancy, the development of your child, along with your own physical well-being.

Micronutrients are important for regeneration after you have given birth and your child benefits from micronutrients and probiotics through the breast milk.

A daily dosage of Orthomol Natal contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants such as folic acid, iodine, iron, magnesium and calcium, as well as specific omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, plus probiotics.

Product Details

With the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, lactic acid bacteria cultures and Zinc contributing to normal fertility and reproduction.

The uptake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by a mother contributes to normal development of the brain and eyes of their foetus and breastfed infant.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should note that the positive effect is noticeable with a daily uptake of 200 mg DHA, in addition to the recommended daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids amounting to 250 mg DHA and EPA.

 Folic acid contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Taking additional folic acid as a supplement increases folate levels in pregnant women.

 A low folate level exposes pregnant women to the risk of their foetus developing a neural tube defect. The positive effect is noticeable with a supplementary daily uptake of 400 µg folic acid over a period of at least one month prior to conception and up to three months afterwards.
