CERTIFIED ORGANIC PLANT BASED PROTEIN WITH 14 ⁺ WHOLEFOOD VITAMINS & MINERALS FOR PREGNANT & NURSING MOTHERS
Choose the right foods The top pregnancy foods include broccoli (for folate, calcium and antioxidant vitamins A, C and E); berries (also rich in folate, plus vitamin C and phytonutrients); natural yoghurt (one serving contains a quarter of your daily
requirement of calcium); oily fish, such as herring, mackerel and wild salmon (a great source of brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids); olive oil (rich in vitamin E plus oleic acid to boost development of baby’s brain and nervous system); and whole grains (provide antioxidant lignans to keep gut flora healthy as well as fibre to prevent constipation and haemorrhoids). Supplementation with folic acid and iron is usually recommended during pregnancy, but do not self-prescribe - seek professional advice on dosage. Add a protein powder
Protein requirements increase by 30 per cent during pregnancy; protein is also particularly important during the last two trimesters, because this is when most of the baby’s growth occurs. A handy new product to try is Amazonia’s Raw Protein Pregnancy Plus, a certified organic, plant-based and non-synthetic protein powder which contains 14 wholefood nutrients, including naturally-occurring folate, zinc, iron, and B-group vitamins. Add a spoonful to a smoothie or sprinkle it over cereal or yoghurt.
