Detailed Description:

The majority of infertility patients take a daily prenatal vitamin PRIOR to conception as well as throughout pregnancy. This prenatal vitamin is the gold standard for fertility and pregnancy because it provides the extra nutrition support that infertility patients need. Prenate Pro is one of the most comprehensive prenatal vitamins available. Here are some of the standout features that make Prenate Pro THE choice for fertility and pregnancy:

·         1000 mcg folic acid.
·         Extra B-vitamins.  Prenate Pro has100% or more of your daily requirement for all the B-vitamins, which are vital for the process of ovulation. Many women who are trying to conceive have been taking oral contraceptives that can deplete B vitamins.  B vitamins can also be depleted by stress, which can be a side-effect of fertility treatment.
·         Therapeutic dose of quality-assured, purity-tested omega-3 fatty acids. While most prenatal vitamins emphasize DHA (if they have any omega-3 fatty acids at all), Prenate Pro includes EPA along with DHA.  While DHA is vital for baby’s brain and vision development, EPA is the essential fatty acid that promotes healthy cell membranes and curbs inflammation in the body. This anti-inflammatory action may be important for fertility, especially important for patients with PCOS or endometriosis.
·         “Gentle iron,” in the form of the more easily digested iron glycinate, as opposed to cheaper forms of iron, which may cause constipation and other GI side-effects. Studies suggest that adequate iron intake is key for fertility.
·         Contains choline, a nutrient that protects against the formation of Neural Tube Defects in developing babies. Choline is also being investigated as “smart drug” as it is thought to improve mental function. Many of our patients complain of “mental overload” as they struggle to balance the stresses of fertility treatment with work and personal lives.
·         High-quality calcium (in the form of calcium citrate, which creates less gas and bloating than calcium carbonate) and magnesium.
·         Optimal levels of antioxidant vitamins and safe levels of pre-formed Vitamin A.
·         No fillers, trans fats, stabilizers or other additives.  Supplements work best in conjunction with a healthy diet.  Consult your physician before beginning any supplement regimen to make sure it is safe and appropriate for you.
