Before - during - after. All-in-one tablet for expectant mothers

B-Mum is a dietary supplement and combined preparation developed especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The product was developed in collaboration between midwife Birgit Thalwitzer, Pharma Nord, and leading nutrition researchers using the latest scientific knowledge on how diet affects a mother and her child. B-Mum contains a variety of essential vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids from fish and plants, including 400 µg of folic acid, 10 µg of vitamin D3, 27 mg of organically bound iron, and a relevant dose of the bone-supporting minerals calcium and magnesium. The magnesium content also plays a role in the cell division process. Besides these ingredients, B-Mum contains zinc which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction,

Research has also found positive health benefits with other nutrients. B-Mum can advantageously be taken prior to, during, and after pregnancy.

Calcium magnesium tablet

Contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K that support the maintenance of normal bone tissue, among other things.

Multivitamin tablet

Contains a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals, including 400 micrograms of folic acid. All women are to take a folic acid supplement before and during their pregnancy.

Capsule with essential fatty acids

B-Mum also includes a mixture of omega-3 (in the form of easily absorbable free fatty acids from fish) and omega-6 fatty acids from plants. Health authorities recommend that pregnant women eat 200-300 grams of fish per week.

Very pure fish oil in B-Mum

B-Mum contains high-purity fish oil that been cleansed using one of the world's leading technologies. As a result, levels of any environmental pollutants that are normally found in freshly caught fish, are far below the officially approved threshold levels for contamination. The fish oil in B-Mum has gone through the three-step purification process to ensure that the oil is as clean as possible.

The importance of the diet for both mother and child can not be underestimated. The pregnancy is taking its toll on the body's reserves, and the diet is very important for the child's development. That is why it is important to be "boosted" as well as possible.

Pregnant women and women planning pregnancy should therefore aim for a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet based on vegetables, fruits, whole grain bread, potatoes, rice and pasta.

Quench your thirst with water only. Health Authorities recommend pregnant women to eat fish, but not large amounts of the following fish: tuna, halibut, oily fish / butter fish, swordfish, porbeagle, pike, perch and walleye.

Health authorities recognize that pregnant women have ann increased need for most vitamins and minerals. This applies especially to folic acid, vitamin D, and iron - but not vitamin A.

Health authorities recommend that women who plan to become pregnant take at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily, starting one month before conception and continuing 12 weeks into the pregnancy. This reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Folic acid plays a role in the cell division process and contributes to tissue growth in the pregnant mother.

Health authorities also advise pregnant women to get 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily throughout the entire pregnancy. Vitamin D is needed for normal bone development.

Iron is important because the need increases as the child grows and produces red blood cells. During pregnancy, there can be a need for additional iron that exceeds the amount of iron in B-Mum. In such situations, health authorities  recommend an increased intake of iron from week 10 of the pregnancy so the daily iron intake reaches 40-50 mg. However, if the pregnant woman is bothered by nausea, she can postpone her additional iron supplementation until pregnancy week 18.
