USANA Products for Pregnant or Breast-feeding Women

The Essentials can serve as an excellent prenatal multivitamin. Proper amounts of folic acid, zinc, and other important vitamins and minerals are all present in this product.

It is important for women who are planning to become pregnant (and those who are currently pregnant) to consume at least 400 mcg of folic acid per day. A full daily dosage of the Essentials provides 1,000 mcg of folic acid. If a mother does not have adequate intake of folic acid within the first few months of pregnancy, the fetus may develop neural tube defects (such as spina bifida). Studies show that taking at least 400 mcg of folic acid can reduce the risk of these birth defects by as much as 70%.

It is important for every expectant mother to ask a doctor about taking an iron supplement, as iron is not included in the Essentials. During pregnancy, women should generally supplement with somewhere between 28 and 90 mg of elemental iron per day, depending on their needs.

Research has also shown that essential fatty acids are critical for developing babies. It may be a good idea to supplement with BiOmega during pregnancy. Before taking any additional or different supplements, discuss them fully with your doctor, as it is important to protect the growing baby and mother.

The following products, taken as directed, are strongly recommended for women who are pregnant or lactating:

* Essentials(Normal Price:RM238, Preferred Price:RM184) 168 tablets 1 set

You can prevent sickness with the help of good antioxidant and mineral supplements, you can give your cells the proper nutrition they need, while building them up and keeping the baby healthy. Getting micronutrients is important too – especially to prevent folic acid deficiency … this helps the neuro tube develop properly.

Because maternal blood volume increases by nearly 50% during pregnancy, iron supplementation is important – especially by the second trimester to support the production of red blood cells. Chelated minerals covers all the bases.

Some mothers experience soon after delivery with gorgeous hair. That’s because of the biotin in this formula. Some women take the USANA essentials just to increase hair growth during pregnancy and it can reduce sudden postpartum hair loss.

Some pregnant mamas has No morning sickness by taking essentials – unless they skipped or forgotten to take essentials.

* Active Calcium (Normal Price: RM102, Preferred Price:RM79) 112 tablets 1 bottle

Calcium is important for a healthy pregnancy and maintaining the mother’s bone density, which is especially important as calcium is transferred to the baby for developing bones, teeth, and muscles.

* BiOmega (Normal Price: RM118, Preferred Price: RM92) 56 capsules 1 bottle

Usana’s ultra pure fish oil is a rich source of the omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids are critical to the development of the brain before birth. DHA is also essential for eye development and growth, and many baby formulas are now made with DHA for this reason. Provides advanced and guaranteed levels of EPA and DHA, important for mood, memory and learning.

* Poly C (Normal Price: RM110, Preferred Price: RM85) 120 tablets 1 bottle

Pregnant women with the flu also have a greater chance of serious problems developing for their unborn baby, including premature labor and delivery.

Take Poly C everyday to enhance body immune system before it comes to you

Contrary to popular belief, mega-doses of vitamin C are not the best way to get over a cold. While vitamin C supplementation does support the immune system in some people, once you have a cold, it will not help you get over it faster.

Regardless, the review found that once cold symptoms show up, taking a therapeutic dose of vitamin C will not affect the duration or severity of the common cold.

The human body is not able to make Vitamin C which means that it will need to source it from food intake. In this context, one must be aware that each individual is different in terms of the needs of Vitamin C and this could be related to issues like absorption, excretion and others. Vitamin C is known to boost and enhance the body’s immune system which in the long run will help the body to wade off virus attacks like flu and such.

* Proflavanol C100 (Normal Price:RM219, Preferred Price: RM167) 56 tablets 1 bottle

* Proflavanol (Normal Price: RM158, Preferred Price: RM126) 90 tablets 1 bottle

* Fibergy (Normal Price: RM137, Preferred Price: RM110) 1 packet

Most if not all pregnant women will experience some irregularity with their bowel movements while pregnant. Constipation is common because during pregnancy, a woman’s intestines intentionally slow transit of food so that the maximum amount of nutrients can be withdrawn and then transported to the baby. Pregnant mamas often experience this slowed transit as indigestion (especially if they eat too quickly or too much at one time), increased gas and constipation. A product by USANA Health Sciences. This tasteless fiber blend can be mixed into any any liquid or food and aids in digestion and bowel regularity

* Nutrimeal (Normal Price: RM158, Preferred Price: RM120) 1 packet

3 Flavours with Dutch Chocolate, Wild Strawberry and French Vanilla

Nutrimeal is a replacement shake that contains all the vitamins and minerals needed by our bodies, making each serving a complete meal so there’s no need to starve. It comes in 3 flavours: french vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.

The Nutrimeal drinks are intended to be snack and meal replacements and not protein specific supplements. They are specifically designed to be balanced with respect to carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The Nutrimeals have a calorie breakdown of approximately 50% carbohydrates (half complex and fiber, and half sugars), 25% protein and 25% fat. This balance is essential to the purpose and function of the product

Avoid the a la Carte Method
A common practice is to pick and choose single nutrients to supplement, like only taking vitamin C, niacin, or calcium. I don’t recommend this. Vitamins and minerals work in concert to maintain healthy function in your cells, and it’s important to maintain the proper balance of nutrients. For instance, certain nutrients—like calcium—need their ‘‘buddies’’ huddled around them so they will be properly absorbed. Otherwise they won’t do you much good. So take a balanced vitamin and mineral supplement.
It is best to not only select a balanced vitamin and mineral supplement but ideally one that pays some attention to the plight of poor minerals and their poor absorption history. In some of the higher quality/higher priced combination supplements, this need is addressed by including minerals that have been changed to a state that is easier to absorb.
One such product is the Vitality Pak by Melaleuca: The Wellness Company, which uses a patented process called ‘‘fructose compounding’’ to attach the minerals to fructose molecules, which helps the minerals to be absorbed inside the body.
Another process called ‘‘chelation’’ is used by the USANA company to make the minerals in their Essentials multivitamin, mineral, and antioxidant supplement more absorbable. This process links an amino acid (protein part) to the minerals to help absorption be more effective.

Hi, can you recommend any other maternity accessories to make pregnancy more comfortable.

Hi, when my wife was pregnant it was very difficult for her to sleep because she was used to sleeping on her stomach, we were looking for some kind of pillow, or couch to make her sleep more comfortable, we ended up finding a very cool pillow with a headrest for pregnant women here. She was much more comfortable sleeping that way, and sometimes I gave her a massage, with this pillow it was much more comfortable to do it.
