Annique Pregnancy Guide

Question:  I am Pregnant, which supplements should I take?

Answer: These are the Annique guidelines - it is always wise to discuss any health matters and dietary changes with your health advisor.

1. Multiwonders  - 2 per day
2. Constant Energy - 2 per day, taken in the morning and the evening. Vitamin C is water soluble and needs to be taken every day. Vitamin C is important to keep your skin supple and helps to avoid stretch marks. It is also necessary for forming collagen that is vital to protect your bones, skin and joints during your pregnancy. You need to be healthy during these important months and vitamin C is key to a healthy immune system
3. B-Controlled - 1 per day. B Vitamins are water soluble and need to be taken every day. B vitamins are vital especially in the first trimester for your baby's brain and nervous system development and growth. The additional folic acid that you take in is important for preventing cleft palate and spina bifida
4. Calci-Might+. Take 4 per day during the first trimester and then 2 per day. A combination of Vitamin D, calcium and magnesium is very important for the development of your baby's teeth, bones, heart and nervous system
5. Zestful living - 1 per day. Zinc is an important element for producing bigger and healthier babies 
6. Essentials - 1 per day. Omega fatty acids during the last trimester are very important for brain development. It is also very important for ensuring good quality milk production to give your baby a good start in life

It is advisable to continue with a good diet and supplements once your baby is born to ensure your own good health and to keep up your energy levels. If you are breastfeeding, it will ensure that you are producing good quality milk for your baby.
