10 Things to Consider When Choosing a Prenatal Vitamin Supplement

	#1 Avoid all products that include artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives such as, aspartame, ascelfame potassium, sucrolose, vanillin, polysorbate 80 and propylene glycol.
	#2 Choose products that are made with non-synthetic vitamins and minerals such as, d-alpha tocopherol, selenomethionine, beta-carotene and mineral ascorbates and citrates. Avoid calcium carbonate.
	#3 Choose products that do not contain inferior oils and wasteful fillers such as soybean oil and various celluloses(other than the capsule), gums and gels.
	#4 Choose products that contain whole foods such as, broccoli, spinach, blueberry, cherry and pomegranate.
	#5 Avoid products that have high amounts of isolated iron and copper, since damaging reactions may occur with the other nutrients within the product.
	#6 Choose products that contain the various b-vitamins in methyl form such as, methylcobalamin and pantethine.
	#7 Choose products that contain only standardized herbal blends and isolates.
	#8 Avoid “one a day” products. A good, well absorbed formula will require multiple tablets or capsules throughout the day.
	#9 Choose products that contain pro-biotics such as, sporogenes, acidophilus and bifidus and digestive enzymes such as, amylase, protease and lipase. This will aid in absorption and utilization of ingredients.
	#10 Choose products that, not only contain all essential vitamins and minerals, but have increased levels of Folic Acid and Vitamin D and supporting nutrients that may improve immune function, brain health, heart function and sugar utilization such as, colostrum, beta-glucan, chromium polynicotinate, grapeseed, acetyl l-carnitine and co-enzyme q10.

Proper moderate exercise as well as a balanced nutritious diet, is essential for both you and your baby! Many women question weather they should workout, what exercises they should avoid, what they should eat, or how many calories they should be eating, especially during their pregnancy. As every woman, due to their individual metabolic variables, such as; age, gender, past eating and exercise habits, body composition etc. factor into these questions, one thing is for sure, that is, as long is you are a healthy person with no prior, or current medical conditions and you are cleared to exercise by your health-care professional, then you should be following a moderate exercise, healthy eating, and proper supplementation regimen.

Avoiding the Dangers of Poor Quality Prenatal Vitamins

Rule #1
Make Sure Nutrients are Readily Absorbable Many prenatal vitamins are in tablet form, which can be compressed too tightly, causing the tablet to fail to break down for absorption as it should. They can actually pass through the body almost entirely intact. Tablets are often coated with carnauba wax which can further complicate absorption. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal consists of the finest quality vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, organic, whole food powders, essential fatty acids and amino acids in the best forms and proper ratios to ensure utilization and efficacy. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal does not contain gluten, soy or yeast and is enclosed in a vegetarian capsule that is designed to release all of the ingredients it contains within minutes of being swallowed.

Rule #2
Avoid Prenatal Vitamins with Poorly Absorbable Ingredients and Potencies Often vitamins and minerals used during pregnancy are based on recommendations that are long outdated or do not include ingredient potencies that protect against the stressors inherent with pregnancy. For example, Vitamin A should only be in the form of carotene or derived from fish oil, as studies have shown that these forms are the best absorbed and utilized. In addition only certain forms of minerals should be used to prevent undesirable interactions and poor absorption. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal was designed using the very latest research and history derived from both allopathic and alternative medicine art and science. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal is safe and effective and represents a new concept in prenatal health and development that can be used by both women and men.

Rule #3
Omega-3 DHA and EPA - The Right Concentration and a Safe Source The benefits of taking omega-3 DHA and EPA before, during, and after pregnancy are numerous. Study after study confirms the benefits, ranging from improved brain development to proper inflammatory response to fat and protein metabolism and utilization. The problem is that many other products only contain DHA. In nature, as in fish oil, EPA and DHA are found in 3-2 ratios. This is why we believe that a complete source should include both EPA and DHA, as nature intended. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal uses MEG3, a patented form of EPA and DHA derived from deep water fish that contains 70-75% EPA and DHA in a proper ratio. Our source is very safe and pure because it contains only pharmaceutical-grade oil, transformed un-denatured in a patented process, to powder. This means every batch is molecularly distilled to concentrate and purify the oil, which is then tested to ensure that it is free from contaminants such as mercury, heavy metals, and PCBs. However, we do not stop at fish oil alone. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal consists of MACA, CHLORELLA, SPIRILINA, BROCCILI, SPINACH and COLOSTRUM and Linoleic Acid, which also contribute to an overall balanced essential fatty acid profile.

Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal

is Unique and Complete, with all the ingredients in Optimal Nutrient Balance.
The nutrient source, levels and combinations are designed to ensure ingredient stability and balanced utilization and absorption of each ingredient.

Intake options based on demand, such as stress the truth is nutrients are utilized best when taken multiple times throughout the day. This may be inconvenient, but, to us, there is no substitute for the truth. With that in mind, our recommended serving sizes are based on your individual needs and lifestyle. From two-three capsules two times daily up to 4 capsules three times daily.

Iron source, gentle and best absorbed.
To minimize nausea during pregnancy, it’s very important to take a gentle form of iron which you will find in Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal.

Exceeds the USP Standard for Dissolution of Folic Acid
A recent study showed that 67% of prenatal vitamins failed to meet this standard. This is important because folic acid can prevent neural tube defects during your first trimester.

Provides Optimal Levels of DHA and EPA
Studies show that infants born to mothers with higher blood levels of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA have advanced attention spans well into their second year of life.

Manufactured in an FDA-Approved Facility
Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal is manufactured to the same FDA standards used for drugs. This helps to ensure quality and potency.

Nourish With Probiotics
Probiotics are the healthy bacteria you and your baby’s bodies need. Probiotics can promote immune protection, help to eliminate toxins, enhance digestion and create a healthy internal environment for the growth of your baby. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal contains Lactobacillus Sporongenes, a very resilient probiotic strain that cultivates and thrives in multiple environments throughout the body. Lactobacillus Acidophilus, the most well know probiotic strain that helps to control bloating and flatulence while strengthening the immune system and B. Bifidum which works in concert with L. Acidophilus while supporting the health of the colon.

Address Your Nausea, Indigestion & Constipation Naturally
Nausea, indigestion and constipation are constant issues for pregnant women, and many think there’s not much they can do about it. However, there are certain foods and herbs that can help. For example, Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal contains Red Raspberry Leaf, Ginger, Chamomile and a comprehensive blend of enzymes shown to safely reduce nausea in pregnancy and help to digest and utilize proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber while gently detoxifying and supporting immune and digestive system functioning and whole body renewal, thus limiting and controlling digestive distress. Red Raspberry Leaf also helps to improve uterine tone and function, improving delivery.

Defend Against Fatigue & Stress Naturally
Fatigue and stress, both emotional and physical, are other major issues for pregnant women. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal contains the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) rated fruits including cherry, pomegranate and blueberry. These fruits, together with broccoli and spinach concentrates and whole superfoods such as, Maca, Spirulina, Chlorella, Colostrum and Beta Glucan promote vitality and cell protection and renewal. Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal also delivers energy factors such as, Acetyl L-Carnitine, DMG, CoQ10 and N-Acetyl- Cystine which supports proper sugar and fat metabolism while improving brain, heart and immune function.

Protect With Super Food Nutrients
We believe that a strong, balanced immune system is the key to health, renewal and longevity. For this reason, Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal contains first-milking Colostrum, Beta Glucan 1/3,1/6 and Organic Maca Root Powder which help, not only to modulate and support the immune system, these ingredients protect cell integrity, encourage healthy gut flora, support a sense of well-being and normal fetal birth weight, protect against environmental toxins and radiation and promote normal cell growth.

Healthy Belly Essentials was born with the understanding that proper nutrition, supplementation, exercise and positive thought are the cornerstones of a happy and healthy life. We believe that this helps to prevent our emotions from creating decisions that we may later regret, ensuring that our “spiritual chain” will never begin to rust and break. It is a strong “spiritual chain” that allows for positive communication between our emotions and our physical bodies, thus positively affecting our adaptive qualities. These “healthy adaptive qualities” create health, well being, longevity and happy families.

The Importance of Folic acid or Folate. What is the difference?

Folic Acid is a vitamin-like substance that is widely understood to be part of the B-vitamin family, formerly known as Vitamin B9. It works, synergistically with the other members of the B family, such as Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pyridoxine, Methylcobalamin, Pantothenic Acid and Biotin to help maintain proper functioning of nerves, brain, heart, skin, digestive system and metabolism, along with supporting the production of certain enzymes and hormones. Higher levels are necessary for normal nerve, spinal and brain development of the fetus and the prevention of neural-tube birth defects.

It is highly recommended that not only pregnant woman, but men and woman that plan on conceiving supplement their daily diet with between 400 to 1000 mcg of Folic Acid daily. In fact, it is absolutely essential that pregnant woman supplement with at least 400 mcg daily during the first trimester of pregnancy to ensure protection against neural-tube birth defects. In some rare cases of the inability to absorb Folic Acid, 2-3 mg. may be prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, high consumption of Folic Acid alone can cause a deficiency in Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). That is why it is very important to consume a product that is abundant in all the B-vitamins. This ensures proper absorption and utilization, individually and collectively, as nature intended.

Folic Acid is actually the synthetic form of Folate. Studies show however that it is better absorbed, and more efficiently utilized in the blood than its natural form. One reason for this may be our body’s inability to separate it from the protein and fiber component of the food and efficiently transport it across membranes into the blood. You would need to consume approximately 160mcg of Folate to equal 100mcg of Folic acid.

Maca and Pregnancy

MACA has been used traditionally throughout South America to prevent miscarriage and help women carry to term. It has also been shown to increase the birth weight of children.

It is actually altitude that has shown to have a profound effect on birth weight. Babies born in Denver, which is about 5000 feet above sea level, have a lower birth weight than those born at sea level. By comparing these numbers to those babies born in the Andes where the altitude is three times that of Denver and where the birth weight does not change, you can gain a glimpse of the powerful benefits associated with Maca. Maca increases progesterone production and this adds valuable mass to the child. The higher the birth weight the greater the chance of survival!

Maca works by controlling estrogen. Levels that are high or low at the wrong time either keep a woman from becoming pregnant or keep her from carrying to term. In men, too much Estrogen produces erectile dysfunction, lack of libido, lowered sperm count and production of seminal fluid.
Maca, in its whole powder form, is a food. It contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals, phyto-chemicals and plant sterols. These ingredients work together to bring balance throughout the body and a sense of well-being.

With that being understood, we at Healthy Belly Essentials believe that it is important to consume both sources of B-Vitamins and Folate, through food, such as green leafy vegetables and lean protein and well designed supplementation like that found in Healthy Belly Essentials Prenatal. Where nature and science unite to help create a better life for you and your family!

Weight Gain
Every woman is different, depending on body type and weight before conception, but most women who deliver healthy babies gain about 25 to 35 pounds or more during pregnancy.  This weight should be weight gained through proper eating, exercise and rest. Remember, you are now eating for two and pregnancy is no time for dieting.

It is very important to be aware that women who do not gain enough weight have an increased risk for delivering babies with low birth weight, which is less than 2500 gm, or 5.52 pounds. The National Institutes of Health considers low birth weight a major public health problem in the United States. Low birth weight is a major cause of infant mortality, as well as many childhood developmental, physical, and psychological problems.

Although infant mortality in the United States has declined over the past several decades, it is still a significant public health problem. Among African Americans, approximately 13% of newborns are underweight; among Hispanics, 6% to 9%; among Asian Americans, 5% to 8%; and among Caucasians, approximately 6% of newborns are underweight. This is why it is very important to prepare for and prioritize your journey through pregnancy. This will come very close to guaranteeing the health of you and your baby and the affordability of ensuring it.
Underweight babies are at risk for these physical and psychological childhood disorders:

They are more likely to experience asthma, respiratory tract infections, and ear infections.

Babies born weighing less than 1000 gm (2.2 lbs), are at greater risk for cerebral palsy (a neurological abnormality).

They are more likely to score low on intelligence tests and are more likely to have delayed development.  

Our mission is to help educate expecting parents and families on the many topics relating to raising a child or toddler, to the amazing experiences of pre and post-natal pregnancy. With a strong focus on nutrition, fitness, and mental health, The Healthy Belly strives to give you the most positive, organic, and holistic approach to pregnancy and child development.
