Methylated Folate (as 5-MTHF) is vital for a healthy pregnancy and early baby development, folate plays a key role in DNA synthesis and cell division. It helps ensure the proper development of your baby's brain and spinal cord, reducing the risk of neural tube defects.* Our formulation uses Methylfolate as 5-MTHF, the active form of folic acid, which is easy to digest and readily absorbed and utilized by the cells without needing conversion, making it more bioavailable and efficient for all individuals, especially those with absorption issues or genetic mutations that affect folate metabolism.* Folate adequacy may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with neural tube defects.*
Choline is essential for brain development and cognitive growth and can help prevent neural tube defects. Over 90% of pregnant women are not getting enough choline from their diet.* Our researched dose of 150mg of Choline per serving. It is crucial to maintain adequate intake of Choline during pregnancy, and continuing to take it while breastfeeding continues to support infant's brain development.*
Iron is essential during pregnancy. A woman's blood volume increases, and she needs more hemoglobin to support both her and her growing baby’s body. Iron is vital for transporting oxygen to the baby and preventing maternal anemia.* Iron also supports the overall development of baby and placental health. The glycinate form of iron is gentler on the stomach compared to other supplement forms and has better absorption, enabling the iron to be utilized more efficiently. Achieving optimal iron support under the high demands of pregnancy also ensures that mom's energy levels are properly supported.*
Calcium helps builds strong bones and teeth for baby, while maintaining maternal bone health during pregnancy and breastfeeding.*
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a key role in over 300 cellular processes in your body, from muscle and nerve function to blood glucose control.* Studies have shown that many people may not consume an optimum amount of magnesium.* Magnesium can help with muscle function and prevent cramps, alleviate digestive discomforts and regulate blood sugar levels, keeping mom comfortable during pregnancy throughout each trimester. Our Glycinate and Malate forms of magnesium work together to ensure enhanced absorption of magnesium and may provide additional support for nervous system health.*
Iodine used in Lemme Mama is naturally food-derived from Sea Kelp and supports thyroid function, baby's brain development and may help to prevent pregnancy complications.* Iodine also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.*
Vitamin A is essential for baby's vision, immune system health and organ development.* Most Vitamin A is derived from synthetic forms like Retinyl. We proudly source our Vitamin A from a natural plant-derived beta-carotene and full spectrum mixed carotenoids.
Vitamin B12 (Methylated) supports fetal neural tube development, red blood cell formation and helps maintain a healthy nervous system.* B12 also supports energy production for pregnant moms.* Methlayed B12 is readily absorbed and utilized by cells, without needing conversion, making it more bioavailable and efficient for all individuals, especially those with absorption issues or genetic mutations that affect B12 metabolism.* Methylated B12 is the biologically active form of B12, as compared to the synthetic cyanocobalamin form commonly found in other prenatal vitamin brands.
Vitamin C is the key to enhancing iron absorption, Vitamin C also promotes healthy immune system function and supports tissue repair.* Vitamin C also promotes collagen production to maintain skin elasticity, which may lessen stretch marks during pregnancy, while also acting as a powerful antioxidant to protect your skin from free radicals.*
Vitamin D3 promotes healthy bones, nervous system health and immune system function for both mom and baby.*
Vitamins K1 and K2 help support proper blood clotting, immune system support, fetal development, as well as mother's cardiovascular health and bone health. Additionally, Vitamins K1 & K2 support the development of the baby's skeletal system.*
Fruit Blend phytonutrient blend contains Grape, Blueberry, Bilberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry and Cranberry extracts for their rich antioxidant properties.*
Essential & Trace Minerals in Lemme Mama contain both macro and trace minerals for whole body support.* Minerals, included in their absorbable and gentle glycinate forms, include: Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Boron, Iron and Copper.
