For those looking to get pregnant or are currently pregnant and are ready to optimize the health outcomes of their pregnancy. This bundle can be used for mothers pre-conception through pregnancy AND for fathers as well as part of pre-conception planning.
Not all pre-natals are equal which is why we are SO adament about getting medical grade quality - the health of you, your conception, your fertility journey MATTER and diet, nutrition, lifestyle and supplementation has a massive impact. The Metagenics, PlusOne Prenatal includes the key ingredients like Zinc, Methylated forms of B12, B6, Folate, Choline, L Carnitine, and antioxidant support that most prenatals are lacking or don't contain at all! It also comes in a packet so it's easy to open up and take instead of multiple different items. This prenatal also includes EPA and DHA - Consumption of DHA has been shown to increase progesterone, a hormone that regulates the condition of the lining of the uterus that is essential for pregnancy.
We also added extra phosphatidyl choline to this bundle as Choline is critical nutrient for conception and addressing potential concerns of fertility or genetic concerns and just for the basic mama looking to optimize their fertility journey. Research indicates that Choline is involved with all stages of early reproduction, from basic fertility and egg health, to specifically supporting fertilization and implantation. Choline can also support methylation and healthy estrogen metabolism.
Vitamin D is our last must have for this bundle - Many studies have shown that vitamin D levels are associated with female fertility and healthy pregnancy outcomes. Supplementing vitamin D has been shown to improve female fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Studies have shown that vitamin D levels are correlated with sperm production and motility. The likelihood for an infant to be born with vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is also relatively high (in some locations up to 90%), considering Americans are found to be 50% unsufficient and 35% deficient levels. Maternal circulating 25-OHD deficiency could increase pre-term birth risk and vitamin D supplementation alone during pregnancy could reduce pre-term birth risk.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6210343/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28150405/
