NESTLÉ MATERNA is the #1 Doctor Recommended prenatal/ postpartum multivitamin1. We want the best for you and baby, right from the start of your journey to motherhood. NESTLÉ MATERNA helps nourish your body whether you are planning to get pregnant soon, you are already pregnant, or your baby has arrived. Just one daily tablet contains 23 vitamins and minerals you need – before, during and after pregnancy, including:
Folic acid to help prevent neural tube defects*
Iron to help form red blood cells and prevent iron deficiency
Calcium and vitamin D to support bone health**
Before Pregnancy
The choices you make before you become pregnant are important to your baby’s health. Starting prenatal multivitamins containing folic acid before you get pregnant may help prevent neural tube defects (NTDs)* such as a condition called spina bifida. Since many of these birth defects may occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant, it is recommended by healthcare experts** that women who are thinking about having a baby should start taking a prenatal multivitamin containing 0.4 mg to 1.0 mg of folic acid at least 10-12 weeks before conception.
During Pregnancy
Your need for a number of essential nutrients, including iron, increases during pregnancy. Extra iron is required to help make red blood cells and maintain a healthy placenta for your baby. If you don’t get the extra iron you need, you could be at risk of developing iron deficiency. Each NESTLÉ MATERNA prenatal/postpartum multivitamin contains 27 mg of iron, the recommended daily intake of iron for pregnant women, in a convenient, once-daily dosage.
After Pregnancy
In the busy and exciting weeks after pregnancy, you may find it hard to eat right. Taking NESTLÉ MATERNA for the first six weeks (or for as long as you breastfeed) can complement a healthy diet and help ensure you and baby get the vitamins and minerals you need. Along with folic acid, iron, and B vitamins, NESTLÉ MATERNA provides calcium and vitamin D to help maintain bones and teeth, as well as prevent bone loss**.
