Prenatal CellSentials

A comprehensive vitamin supplement for pregnant women and their developing babies.

USANA CellSentials Prenatal Vita-Antioxidant supplies a carefully formulated range of pure, high-quality vitamins that help support a healthy pregnancy and a healthy foetus.

Optimise Your Prenatal Health

When you are pregnant, your nutritional needs increase. Even a marginal nutritional gap can negatively impact the mother’s health and the baby’s development. However, many prenatal supplements provide only minimal amounts of nutrients.

USANA Prenatal Vita-Antioxidant provides essential vitamins, including folic acid and beta carotene (precursor of vitamin A), to help support the healthy growth and development of your baby – before, during and after pregnancy. It also provides nutritional support to help you maintain your energy levels, and harnesses the Science of InCelligence to support your well-being at the cellular level.

Healthy diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with spinal cord defect. Because it is needed for closure of the neural tube in the very first weeks of pregnancy, any woman of childbearing years should take folic acid. When taken as directed, USANA Prenatal Vita-Antioxidant is an excellent source of 500 mcg of folic acid, which is more bioavailable than the folate you’ll find in food.

The B vitamins, which include thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, biotin and pantothenic acid, are important to support energy metabolism and healthy organ development. Folic acid and B12 also support red blood cell formation, which is critical because a woman’s blood volume increases by nearly 50% during pregnancy.

Why USANA Prenatal Vita-Antioxidant?

USANA Prenatal Vita-Antioxidant contains the InCelligence Complex, a unique blend of antioxidant nutrients that support optimisation of defence against oxidative stress, which may not be found in other prenatal supplements.

The nutrients provided through the InCelligence Complex help your cells to protect themselves with powerful endogenous antioxidants that are able to quench many free radicals, rather than relying on dietary antioxidants alone where less free radicals can be quenched at a time.

Importance of Minerals in Pregnancy

Because maternal blood volume increases by nearly 50% during pregnancy, iron supplementation beginning by the second trimester is important for supporting healthy pregnancy. Maternal iron is also needed during pregnancy and lactation to provide the infant with sufficient iron stores to last through the first four to six months of life, after which supplementary feeding is usually recommended. USANA CellSentials Prenatal Core Minerals is an excellent source of iron.

Calcium is important for a healthy pregnancy and healthy foetal development.

A woman’s need for iodine increases considerably during pregnancy and while nursing which plays a role in foetal neurocognitive development. Deficiency of iodine is accepted as the most common cause of preventable neurological defects in the world. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can negatively impact cognitive function. That’s why USANA CellSentials Prenatal Core Minerals contains high-potency iodine.

Zinc deficiency is another concern, having been linked to low birth weight and an increased risk of delivery complications. Zinc also supports healthy foetal cell growth, so maintaining adequate levels is vital for a healthy pregnancy.
