1 x Velnatal® baby planning soft capsules + 1 x free cuddle cloth, 30 ST

Velnatal® Baby Planning Soft Capsules are a dietary supplement containing vitamins, minerals and trace elements, designed to provide a comprehensive supply of micronutrients for those planning a pregnancy. 

The ingredients in Velnatal® Baby Planning have been carefully selected to support you as best as possible on your journey to pregnancy. The combination of trace elements, vitamins and fatty acids prepares the body for pregnancy. It contains, amongst other things, folic acid, as an adequate supply of folate is particularly important even before pregnancy.

What does Velnatal® Baby Planning contain and what is it used for? 

• Folic acid/folate: Also known as vitamin B9, it is important for cell division and maternal tissue growth, particularly during the early stages of pregnancy. A low folate level is considered a risk factor for the development of a neural tube defect in the developing foetus. Women planning to conceive are therefore advised to take 400 µg of folic acid daily, starting at least one month before conception and continuing for up to three months afterwards. The development of a neural tube defect is influenced by several risk factors; altering one of these risk factors may or may not have a positive effect. ‘Ouatrefolic®’ is a bioactive folate compound, the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF-glucosamine), which exhibits exceptional bioavailability.
• DHA: Is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. It is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. The mother’s intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the foetus as well as in the breastfed infant. The beneficial effect is achieved when 200 mg of DHA is taken daily in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults (250 mg of DHA and EPA). The DHA used in Velnatal® Baby Planning is derived from algae cultivated in specialised, strictly controlled facilities. Algal DHA is tasteless.
• Selenium: Is an essential trace element involved in many reactions within the body. It is a component of enzymes with antioxidant properties and is therefore important for protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Other selenium-dependent enzymes regulate the immune system and thyroid function, or help maintain normal hair and nails.
• Zinc: Is a vital trace element. It is a component of numerous enzymes and proteins and is essential for a wide range of reactions in the body. Zinc contributes, for example, to normal cognitive function, normal fertility, normal reproduction and normal protein synthesis. Zinc is also involved in cell division and various metabolic processes.
• Iodine: Is essential for the production of thyroid hormones and for normal thyroid function. Iodine also contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. For adults (aged 25–51), the German Nutrition Society recommends a daily iodine intake of 200 µg. Due to increased requirements, 230 µg per day is recommended for pregnant women and 260 µg per day for breastfeeding women. If you have a thyroid condition, you should consult your doctor.
• Vitamin D: Is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained both from food and produced by the body itself through exposure to sunlight.Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamin D also influences muscle function and contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
• B vitamins: These are a group of water-soluble vitamins. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy, protein and glycogen metabolism, to the regulation of hormonal activity, and to the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy and homocysteine metabolism, the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems, and the formation of red blood cells.
