Specifications
The high content of folate (which is in line with today’s views on the nutrition of pregnant women) exceeds current standards common in the Czech market.
Containing Quatrefolic® – fourth generation folate (the first product in Europe with this state-of-the-art formulation), this product is excellent even for poor metabolisers of classical folic acid. The high content of DHA helps you compensate for the possible deficit of sea fish in your diet – it corresponds to three fish dishes a week.
Folic acid is important for the normal growth of germinal tissues during pregnancy. A rich and varied diet can provide approximately 200 µg of folic acid per day, while the recommended daily dose for adults is 400 µg, for pregnant women 600-1000 µg. In weaker (heterozygous) classical folic acid metabolizers (about 50% of the population) the activity of the MTHFR enzyme is reduced to about 75%, in weak (homozygous) classical acid metabolizers (about 10% of the population) the efficiency of the MTHFR enzyme is reduced to about 25%.
The intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the mother’s body contributes to the normal development of the fetal brain in the mother’s body and breastfed infants. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 200 mg DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids in adults, ie 250 mg DHA and EPA.
