A significant number of Australian women have lower than recommended intakes
of essential nutrients before falling pregnant. Blackmores Conceive Well
(TM) Gold is formulated for pre-conception care, supplying the nutrients
needed in preparation for conception and pregnancy.
Features and benefits
- Supplies nutrients that support normal ovulation and are associated
with healthy conception.
- Provides nutrients involved in very early stage of foetal
development.
- Provides powerful antioxidant nutrients involved in normal
conception.
- Provides adequate levels of CoQ10, a natural antioxidant associated
with a healthy early stage pregnancy.
- Contains iodine which is important for baby's normal brain
development, eyesight and hearing. Optimising iodine levels before
pregnancy can take up to 5 months.
- Contains a daily dose of 500 ?g of folic acid which may reduce the
risk of neural tube defects if taken for 1 month pre-conceptually and
during pregnancy.
- Contains tuna oil, a source of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.
How it Works
Blackmores Conceive Well??Gold prepares the body for
conception. Some of the key nutrients include:
- Antioxidants ??are important for women attempting
conception. Chances of conception increase in women with higher levels
of antioxidants in the fluid surrounding their reproductive organs.
- CoQ10 ??Levels of CoQ10 decrease with age. Adequate
levels of CoQ10 in the expectant mother are associated with healthy
early stages of pregnancy.
- Iodine - is important for the normal functioning of
the thyroid gland as it is an essential nutrient required for the
synthesis of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones affect almost every cell
in the body and regulate oxygen use, metabolic rate and cellular
metabolism. Iodine plays an important role in normal brain development
and eyesight.
- Tuna oil - is a source of omega-3 long chain fatty
acids. DHA is particularly important for the normal function of the
brain, and for development of normal eyesight.
- Folic acid - plays a role in DNA and RNA synthesis,
and is therefore critical in cellular division. In order to divide
properly, cells need adequate folate. The development and growth of a
foetus involves constant cell division, which can lead to an increase in
the mother?? demand for folate.
- Vitamin C ??is needed for hormone production and
may help to stimulate normal ovulation. The developing egg needs
adequate vitamin C to mature. The ovary contains one of the largest
ascorbic acid stores in the body.
- Vitamin D3 - supports calcium absorption and
is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Low vitamin D
levels are common in women during pregnancy.
- Iron - a component of haemoglobin, an essential
component of red blood cells. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the body.
Having optimal haemoglobin levels helps the cells of the body receive
sufficient oxygen. Early foetal brain development requires adequate
iron. As many as one quarter of Australian women have below recommended
intakes of iron prior to conception.
- Zinc - essential to good health as it is involved
in many enzyme reactions in every cell of the body. Adequate levels of
zinc support normal conception and are essential for a healthy baby??
normal growth and development.
- B group vitamins - play an essential role in the
production of energy and support normal conception.
