Daily requirements for most essential vitamins and minerals increase during pregnancy. Prenatal Natural Source Multivitamin provides the developing fetus with the required nutrients and supports normal metabolism and physical well-being of the expecting mother.

Folic acid, iron, and zinc are needed in greater amounts and these are the nutrients most likely to be deficient in pregnant women.

Supplementing with a multivitamin is critical during the pregnancy since it is often difficult to ensure proper nutrient levels through diet alone. Additionally, it is important to continue supplementing while breast-feeding to provide the baby with important nutrients.

Jamieson's Prenatal contains a unique complex of 27 vitamins, minerals and nutrients specially designed for the support of pregnant and breast-feeding women. It contains 1 mg of folic acid for the prevention of neural tube defects, 28 mg of chelated iron for red blood cell expansion in both the mother and fetus and 20 mg of zinc to prevent malformations and low birth weight in the developing fetus.

Prenatal is formulated with digestive enzymes and prepared in a natural base of acerolacherry, rosehips and the Vitamin C co-nutrient factors of rutin, hesperidin and bioflavonoids. The addition of digestive enzymes to the formula and chelated minerals makes Jamieson's Prenatal a highly bioavailable formula that is gentle on the most sensitive stomach.
