During Pregnancy

Nutrition is the critical aspect impacting both – the mother’s well-being and the baby’s development. Proper nutrition right after conceiving and throughout the first trimester is crucial as it lays the foundation for the baby’s development and prevents any risk of the baby’s development issues. The first trimester is a critical period where the embryo undergoes rapid cell division and growth. Adequate nutrition ensures that the process of development of a baby, right from embryo to childbirth, goes smoothly.

Acetyl Carnitine

It enhances brain health and supports the cognitive development of the baby. It also helps in fat metabolism, i.e., providing energy for both mother and baby.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium is essential for sleep, reducing constipation, and has neuro-anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps in muscle relaxation and supports overall pregnancy wellness.

NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) And Choline

It supports cellular function and DNA integrity and helps reduce exposure to harmful substances like glyphosate. It is also crucial for brain development and DNA optimization and prevents neural tube defects.
