Benefits of Multi-Vitamins during Pregnancy

Well it seems Emma and I are due to be parents around April, May next year which is Great News because we have been able to really get in, try and compare some of our Pregnancy Multi Vitamin products.

First of all we wanted to introduce you to the benefits of taking a Pregnancy Multi-Vitamin for the duration of your Pregnancy and Breast Feeding.

The benefits of multi vitamins for pregnancy are quite core. Pregnancy is a very resource draining process on the human body (as you could imagine) and can leave mum feeling tired and lathargic. One of the many benefits of taking a multi vitamin is that it keeps your nutritional intake up, meaning more resources for both Mum and Baby supporting featal growth and keeping mum happier and healthier in the process.

There are many many products on the market today but the most important Minerals and Vitamins for Pregnancy (with Recomended Dosages) are shown below. Multi-Vitamins should be chosen by the Diversity and Potency of Minerals and Vitamins.

Health and Nutrition Reviews

We actually use the products we sell, but not all of them given their different purposes and benefits.

From time to time, as we or someone close tries health and nutritional products, we will post a review of their benefits, comparisons and any additional information which may be beneficial.

Note that these reviews may also contain a summarized Review from our customers, but will be clearly marked where the summary review is independant of our own.
