Fish Oil Natural: Natocare Plus contains marine triglycerides providing a mixture of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the omega-3 marine fatty acids which can be synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid or obtained directly from maternal milk or fish oil. It is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants. DHA is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults. An optimal intake of DHA is especially essential for pregnant and nursing mothers to ensure adequate brain development in their children.
Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3): It is an important water soluble vitamin. It may help in producing energy by converting food into glucose. It may help reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): It is a water-soluble vitamin. It enhances absorption of iron, either by reducing it or preventing its chelation by phytates.
Calcium: It is essential for the maintenance and development of healthy bones and teeth. It is required to meet increased needs during pregnancy.
Biotin: It is a water soluble vitamin which produces energy, fatty acids and amino acids that activates its metabolism in the hair roots and fingernail cells.
Iron: It is an essential mineral. It is an important component of haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to transport it throughout the body. Haemoglobin represents about two-thirds of the body's iron. Iron also plays a role in many important chemical reactions in the body.
Zinc: It is an essential mineral during pregnancy for proper growth and development. It plays a role in cell division, cell growth, wound healing and the breakdown of carbohydrates.
Magnesium: It is a very important mineral for normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles, bones and heart. It is a mineral essential for blood pressure and glucose regulation, muscle and nerve function.
Selenium: It is a trace element essential for the appropriate course of vital processes in the human body. Selenium plays a significant role in the undisturbed functioning of the reproductive system. Selenium deficiencies may lead to gestational complications, miscarriages and the damaging of the nervous and immune systems of the foetus.
Chromium: It is a trace mineral that helps the body break down and store fats, carbohydrates and protein. It also works with the hormone insulin to maintain normal levels of glucose in the body.
Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1): It is a water soluble vitamin that enables a pregnant woman and her baby to convert carbohydrates into energy. It is essential for baby's brain development and aids the normal functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): It is a vitamin that is needed for growth and overall good health. It helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy and it allows oxygen to be used by the body.
Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5): It is an essential water soluble vitamin in pregnancy. A pregnant woman needs a higher amount of Pantothenic acid.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6): It is a water soluble vitamin which plays vital roles in numerous metabolic processes in the human body and helps with the development of the nervous system.
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12): It is an important water soluble vitamin. It is required for the normal functioning of blood cells. It works closely with folic acid, to form red blood cells and to help iron work better in the body.
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3): It is a fat soluble vitamin used for the prevention and treatment of Vitamin D deficiency. Cholecalciferol may help to prevent the problems usually associated with Vitamin D deficiency such as osteoporosis, muscle weakness, increased risk of bone fractures in infants and unborn babies. It helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus.
Folic Acid: It is an essential nutrient that is a part of the Vitamin B family. Folate is needed to form red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. The most important benefit of folic acid is for the development of the foetus. It's vital that women in early pregnancy have enough folic acid, as it can help reduce the risk of spinal cord defects, such as spina bifida. It may help the development of the foetal nervous system, as well as DNA synthesis and cell growth.
d-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E): This is a fat soluble vitamin which is a powerful anti-oxidant protecting cells from free radical damage. It may help in the elimination of blood clots, which may help to avoid heart attacks. Studies have shown that people with a high intake of Vitamin E are less prone to heart-related diseases.
Iodine: An adequate intake of iodine during pregnancy is essential for the synthesis of maternal thyroid hormones and normal brain development in the fetus.
Betacarotene: It is a form of Vitamin A-a fat soluble vitamin, essential for growth, development and differentiation of a number of cells and tissues.
Copper: It is a trace mineral found in all plant and animal tissues, essential for forming red blood cells.
It is a mineral which helps during pregnancy to form bone and cartilage.
