Benefits backed by science
Folate
Few nutrients are more closely associated with pregnancy than folate. Folate essential in supporting the development of your baby's brain and nervous system function during pregnancy. Low folate levels in pregnant women have been linked to birth abnormalities, such as neural tube defects. While many supplements utilise folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, it's not necessarily the most bioavailable option. We use MTHF in our Mommy Blend, the most bioavailable form that can be most easily and effectively utilised by the body.
Iron
During pregnancy, your body's demand for iron increases as it supports the production of additional blood and the transport of oxygen around the body. Iron deficiency has negative effects on pregnancy outcomes in women and on immune function and neurodevelopment in children. In pregnant women, iron deficiency increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby.
Probiotics
Probiotics have a range of health benefits. They help maintain gut health, support a healthy immune system, help maintain a balanced mood, support cardiovascular health and more. Scientific evidence suggests that taking probiotics, specifically lactobacillus rhamnosus during pregnancy, can improve your baby’s immune system and reduce the likelihood of your child later developing allergies.
Why take our Mommy Blend
Optimised Formulation
Our Mommy Blend contains:
Folate: Essential in supporting the development of your baby's brain and nervous system function during pregnancy. We use MTHF, the most bioavailable form that can be most easily and effectively utilised by your body.
Iron: A mineral that your body uses to make extra blood (hemoglobin) for you and your baby during pregnancy. Iron also helps move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, and to your baby's.
Probiotics (lactobacillus rhamnosus): Studies have shown that a baby has a reduced risk of developing allergic symptoms when the mother takes this probiotic strain during pregnancy and when breastfeeding.
Vegan Formulation
Finding a comprehensive prenatal supplement that fits a vegan lifestyle shouldn't mean compromising on formulation. Our team created Mommy Blend as a vegan formula combining carefully selected vitamins, minerals and lactobacillus rhamnosus, without unnecessary fillers. Designed for women planning a pregnancy, throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Interesting Facts
How common is the gene variant that affects folic acid utilisation in the body?
Up to one-third of people are thought to carry gene variants that make it difficult to efficiently utilise folic acid.
What are some natural sources of folate?
The best dietary sources of natural folate include:
Fresh fruits
Leafy greens
Yeast
Legumes
Does it really matter that you use MTHF rather than folic acid?
The short answer: Yes. Folic acid is the form used in many supplements because it’s cheap and highly stable. The caveat? Once folic acid enters a cell, it needs to be converted into 6S-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) by several key enzymes before your body can use it. And up to one-third of men and women have a genetic variation that can impact the last step of the conversion.
When is the best time to take Mommy Blend?
Research suggests you can take Mommy Blend when it's convenient for you. We'd recommend earlier in the day and with a meal and water to help absorption, particularly if you suffer from pregnany nausea.
What are iron blockers?
Tea, coffee, bran and some medications can block plant iron (non-heme iron) being taken up by the body. Drinks rich in calcium such as milk block the absorption of iron in the gut. Limit iron blockers when you are eating foods rich in iron.
