As with all of our products, the dose of the Pregnancy capsules are designed to be taken all together. So that means the dose of 3 capsules is to be consumed in one sitting. If you wish to space them out, or are struggling to consume in a single sitting (3 capsules together) due to pregnancy sickness or another reason, you will need to discuss this with our expert Nutritional Therapist team. This is because consumption of specific nutrients at specific levels in pregnancy is very important and missing a dose must be avoided. Our expert Nutrition team are trained to provide qualified guidance, since they understand there may be struggles or challenges in taking supplements due to the normal nature of some pregnancy symptoms.
Yes it does. In fact, it contains the more biologically active form of Folic Acid - Folate, derived from our Food-Grown process. Folate is easier to absorb and use because it is already activated, this is especially important for some women who are not able to activate standard Folic Acid genetically.
Yes. Our Food-Grown® Pregnancy + New Mother Multi is expertly formulated to support every stage of your pregnancy including breastfeeding. You and your baby will go through some key development shifts right up to, and post, birth. This supplement will help ensure intake of the nutrients you need for this journey.
Yes, it is. Our formula provides a matrix of folate forms, including methylated folate, derived from our Food-Grown® process. This means it is suitable for those women who may not be able to convert Folic Acid due to genetic variations in Folate metabolism.
You can safely use our Food-Grown® Pregnancy + New Mother Multi alongside the following products: Food-Grown Vitamin C, Food-Grown Immune Support, Food-Grown Vitamin B6, Food-Grown Iron Plus, Pure Strength Omega 3, Multi Strain Biotic and Food-Grown Vitamin D or Vegan Vitamin D. If you need further advice please book an appointment with one of our Nutritionists.
Our formula was developed to support you and your baby throughout pregnancy and into breastfeeding, so there’s no need to stop taking it once you’ve given birth. In fact the ‘fourth trimester’ is often the most demanding, so your body will need even more support to heal from delivery, as well as face hormone shifts, low energy levels and lack of sleep.
We recommend you continue taking Food-Grown® Pregnancy + New Mother Multi for your 'fourth trimester', i.e. the months following birth and to continue till your baby is 12 months old. But you can use this for longer if you wish, especially if you are still feeling tired. We would recommend speaking to our nutrition team who can advise on how long you should continue. What if you are breastfeeding? We recommend you keep using the multi, for the duration of breastfeeding. If you are also using the Breastfeeding Support product, then speak to our nutrition team about how long to keep using that product and if you need to combine it with the multi.
Yes, you can start taking Food-Grown® Breastfeeding Support as soon as you have given birth. These products were specifically formulated to be taken in combination, working together to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and breastfeeding journey.
Yes, this is the multi that is designed to compliment your breastfeeding journey. In addition, you can also use our Food-Grown® Breastfeeding Support in combination with this multi.
In most cases, we recommend our Fertility Support during the preconception window, moving to this product once pregnancy is confirmed. However, for those with endometriosis, adenomyosis or fibroids, our Pregnancy Multi may be a better fit from the start.
