We know how overwhelming it can be when you’re expecting a baby. With an abundance of information available on what foods you should avoid when pregnant to what pregnancy vitamins you need to support the development of your unborn baby, it can be hard to know where to begin!

 

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to the full range of pregnancy vitamins and prenatal supplements available at Garden of Life that have been designed to support you and your baby’s health.

 

 

Should I Take Pregnancy Vitamins?

 

Eating a healthy, balanced diet should be sufficient to provide you and your baby with all the nutrients you need. If you follow a restricted diet, including vegetarian or vegan, you may wish to speak with your GP or midwife to determine what pregnancy vitamins to include in your diet.

 

The most important prenatal supplement to take while pregnant is folic acid, but you may wish to also research the benefits of omega 3 supplements, microbiome supplements, vitamin D supplements, calcium supplements, and vitamin C supplements too.

 

When to Begin Taking Pregnancy Vitamins

 

It’s recommended to start taking prenatal supplements as soon as you know you’re pregnant. You may wish to begin taking some pregnancy vitamins when trying to conceive too.

 

It is best to speak with your GP or midwife to get the best advice tailored to your specific health needs.

Best Pregnancy Vitamins at Garden of Life

 

Omega-3 Pregnancy Vitamins

 

Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of essential fatty acids that play pivotal roles in your body and promote your overall health. Among the fatty acids family, there are two most important members – DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosatetraenoic acid).

 

These fatty acids not only contribute to the development of your unborn baby and promoting the normal development of brain and vision, but also support your wellbeing during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

 

Organics Pregnancy Multivitamins

 

If you’re looking for vegan pregnancy vitamins, look no further than our range of prenatal supplements. Made from a blend of organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs, as well as added folate, these pregnancy vitamins have been designed to support expecting mums.

 

Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, meaning that low levels of this crucial nutrient may cause potential defects in the developing foetus.

 

Available as tablets or tasty berry gummy vitamins, boost your vitamin levels while pregnant with these nutritional pregnancy multivitamins:
