OUR PREGNANCY SUPPLEMENT PACK
The G&G Pregnancy Pack contains a selection of carefully selected vitamin and mineral supplements to aid in foetal development* and to maintain the ideal balance of nutrients for an expectant mother. It is ideal for taking when trying to conceive, and throughout pregnancy.
WHY CHOOSE OUR DAILY SUPPLEMENT PACK?
We ensure that all of the health supplements that we formulate our perfectly balanced to work with the body, providing precise nutrient levels of certain vitamins and minerals. While it is possible to blend all of the supplements within our Pregnancy Pack into a single health supplement, this would remove a lot of the nutrients and balance that is provided from multiple supplements. Our daily supplement sachet provides a mixture of health supplements that are easy to manage and balanced correctly.
FOLIC ACID IN OUR PREGNANCY PACK
The Pregnancy Pack contains an extremely effective form of folic acid. Conventional folic acid is synthetic and is used in many vitamin supplements. We use L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), which is the active form of folic acid and is found in nature. The folic acid found in food has to be digested to be absorbed, and then has to undergo several biochemical conversions in the body to become L-5-MTHF. By supplementing directly with L-5-MTHF (rather than synthetic folic acid), one can be assured of getting the benefits of folic acid, regardless of your ability to absorb or convert it to the active form.
*Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. the beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental folic acid daily intake of 400 mcg for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
NEW GREENER PACKAGING
As part of our ongoing commitment to becoming a more sustainable supplement company, we've updated our daily pack packaging. We've got rid of the bulky plastic tubs and replaced them with biodegradable pouches. We've still had to keep the individual plastic sachets inside, as we are yet to find a solution that keeps the supplements fresh. We're working on it.
WHAT DO YOU GET IN OUR PREGNANCY PACK?
