Folattro* specially formulated to help meet the increased nutritional needs of women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or breastfeedingy.

The first 6–8 weeks after conception are critical for baby’s development including growth of its vital organs. Folattro helps build up the essential nutrients to support your baby’s healthy development from the day you concieve.

Folattro is the best choice in the folate supplementation because it maximizes the benefit of folate supplementation, protecting naturally all women and babies.

The demand for folate increases when human cell growth is very active, such as in pregnancy and lactation. Studies have found that low dietary intake of folate increases the risk of delivering a child with several types of birth defects, particularly neural tube defects (NTD) and possibly leading to poor growth in the fetus or placenta (22).

Clinical evidence suggests that supplementation of the natural form, 5-MTHF, is a better alternative to supplementation of folic acid, and that can effectively improve folate biomarkers in young women in early pregnancy in order to prevent NTDs. One important difference among prenatal vitamins is the source of folate. It may be included as folic acid, or the bioavailable form, L-methylfolate like 400 mcg Quatrefolic.

Iodine helps regulate metabolism and plays an important role within the thyroid in controlling many body processes. Pregnant women are recommended to have 150 micrograms of iodine a day. Too little iodine in pregnancy is associated with learning disability in infants and children. Iodine deficiency is the biggest cause of mental retardation worldwide.

Vitamin D during pregnancy is very important for bone development in both the pregnant woman and the child, but needs cannot be met through diet alone. Most adults make the majority of their vitamin D through the action of summer sunlight on the skin. Women who are at particular risk of low vitamin D status include those who have darker skin, who rarely go outside, who cover their skin with clothing or sunscreen, who avoid animal foods or who have a very poor diet
