1 x Velnatal® pregnancy + breastfeeding soft capsules + 1 x free cuddle cloth, 30 ST

Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding Soft Capsules are a dietary supplement and provide a comprehensive supply of essential vitamins, minerals, trace elements and omega-3 fatty acids for both mother and baby. 

The ingredients in Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding have been carefully selected to provide the best possible support for every stage of your baby’s development. Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding contains, amongst other things, SPMs – substances that occur naturally in the body. These are formed, for example, from omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. 

What does Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding 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. Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding contains Metafolin® – the biologically active form of natural folic acid, which does not need to be metabolised and is therefore immediately available to both baby and mother. 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 and continuing for up to three months after conception. 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.
• Iron: Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Iron is therefore important for oxygen transport in the body and also contributes to normal cognitive function. Iron also plays an important role in cell division.
• SPMs: Stands for ‘specialised pro-resolving mediators’. The SPMs contained in Velnatal® Pregnancy + Breastfeeding are derived from omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA).
• 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 and normal protein synthesis. Zinc is also involved in cell division and contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients.
• Iodine: Is essential for the normal production of thyroid hormones and for normal thyroid function. Iodine also contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. Due to increased requirements, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 230 µg for pregnant women and 260 µg for breastfeeding women. If you have a thyroid condition, you should consult your doctor.
• 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 healthy hair and nails.
• DHA: 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 and 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).
