and postnatal supplements to support the overall health of mothers and their babies.

It’s important to understand which extra nutrients both mom and baby can benefit from as this transition takes place and why they need to be taken consistently. 

Why Take Prenatal Supplements?

It can be difficult to find truly vegan supplements and it may not seem like a big deal if you skip out on a few extra steps in your vitamin routine. However, when taking prenatal supplements, consistency is important.

Our prenatal supplements work to support the body in the following ways:

• Provide essential vitamins for mother and baby.
• Maintain healthy digestion.
• Promote healthy cell division and development.
• Support the fetal brain, spinal cord, heart, muscle, bone, nerve, and skin development.
• Support placenta growth.
• Promote red blood cell development.

They are called “prenatal supplements” because they help prepare both the mother’s body and the fetus for a healthy pregnancy. According to The Natalist, ““If you start taking a daily prenatal vitamin before pregnancy, you can set this proverbial nutritional safety net firmly in place, thereby giving yourself and your future baby the best chance of reaping as many benefits as possible.” The extra nutrients will allow optimal conditions and developmental support.

What to Look For in a Vegan Prenatal Supplement.

Our vegan prenatal supplements are 100% plant-based and full of the key vitamins to help  pregnant women sustain healthy nutrient levels during pregnancy. 

Some of the key vitamins that you should be on the look out for are: 

• Calcium (calcium carbonate, plant-derived)
• Iron (ferrous bisglycinate chelate)
• Iodine (kelp, laminaria digitata)
• Vitamin B12
• Manganese (manganese bisglycinatechelate)
• Chromium (chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate)

Vegan Life Nutrition’s Prenatal / Postnatal Basic vitamins contain all of these nutrients and more to support you before, during, and after pregnancy – encapsulated in pill form for easy digestion. 

Vegan Life Nutrition Prenatal Focus Bundle.

In addition to the Prenatal / Postnatal Basic Supplement, we will be offering a Prenatal Focus Bundle to provide extra prenatal-centric nutrients like 550mgs of Choline per serving for optimal fetal care. 

These 100% vegan supplements provide essential vitamins and minerals to women who are either pregnant or trying to conceive to support the mother’s health as well as fetal development. 

Our new products will launch September 1, 2022 and will be non-GMO, certified gluten-free, cruelty-free, and contain no artificial colors.

During pregnancy, there are many limits to which medications and supplements can be taken to ensure that no harm is being done to you or the baby. The one must-have that doctors recommend during pregnancy is a prenatal vitamin. 

Taking a good prenatal vitamin is one of the simplest ways to help encourage a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby. In addition to a healthy diet, they can help provide both you and your baby with the vital nutrients needed throughout each pregnancy stage. 

Weeks Before Pregnancy

Believe it or not, many healthcare providers recommend starting prenatal vitamins months prior to the pregnancy.

Healthline says the ideal time to start a prenatal supplement is actually weeks or even  months prior to conception. If you are thinking about having a baby, this may be the time to consider taking a prenatal vitamin. 

The Benefits of Prenatal Vitamins

Here are some of the great benefits of taking a prenatal supplement before pregnancy:

1. May reduce the risk of preterm birth
2. Folate supports the earliest and most critical fetal development stages
3. DHA may affect your baby’s health immediately at time of conception
4. DHA may promote an ideal balance of reproductive hormones and help improve egg quality
5. May reduce the chance of birth irregularities
6. Provide adequate sources of iron, vitamin D, and calcium
7. Reduces the risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, and infant mortality 
8. Provide necessary nutrients for a healthy pregnancy

Pregnancy is not easy and takes a lot out of you as the baby receives all of its nutrients directly from you, which can be very draining on your body. This is why you may experience various issues with physical pain as your body is depleted. Making sure that your body gets what it needs is easier to accomplish before the pregnancy begins and reduces your chances of nutrient deficiencies. If you have enough of the vitamins that you need to thrive, then you are able to adequately share those nutrients with your baby to help them grow.

Prenatal vitamins are important for your health and the health of your baby. Consult with your doctor about taking prenatal supplements if you are planning to conceive.

Vegan Life Nutrition is proud to be a part of so many women’s vegan journeys.  We are excited to bring vegan prenatal vitamins to women who are planning their pregnancies, pregnant, or have just delivered to meet their vegan nutritional desires.
