Even before conception, the body requires optimal levels of essential nutrients to create the best foundation for a healthy pregnancy. Key nutrients include:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA & EPA): Crucial for brain development and cell health, supporting cognitive function and healthy fetal development.
- Folic Acid (in its bioactive form): Essential for cell division and the development of the nervous system, reducing the risk of neural tube defects.
- Vitamin D, Iron, and Iodine: Important for hormonal balance, metabolism, and immune function, helping to prepare both the mother's body and the fetus for a healthy pregnancy.
