The individual components of this multi-mineral and multivitamin supplement are formulated with regard to the hormonal changes in a woman's body during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Vitamin B2 helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

• Vitamin C aids the absorption of iron and at the same time strengthens the immune system.

• Vitamin D3 contributes to the absorption of calcium, thereby helping to maintain normal teeth and bones.

• Zinc contributes to DNA synthesis and at the same time has a beneficial effect on nails, hair and the appearance of skin.

• Vitamin K2 helps direct calcium where it belongs, to bones and teeth. At the same time, it cleanses blood vessels and thus contributes to normal blood clotting and maintaining a healthy circulatory system. It is especially essential in the third trimester of pregnancy for the proper development of the child's bones and teeth.

• Calcium plays a role in the process of cell division and specialisation, contributes to the health of bones and teeth, the proper functioning of digestive enzymes and normal blood clotting.

• Magnesium contributes to reducing the level of fatigue and exhaustion and to electrolyte balance.

• Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and to the proper functioning of the thyroid gland.

• Copper has an important function similar to iron. Its role is to ensure sufficient production of red blood cells.

• Manganese contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal formation of connective tissues.

• Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

• Chromium is suitable for pregnant women, as embryos essentially need it for their growth.

• Molybdenum supports the metabolism of proteins, sugars and fats.

• Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is important during increased physical exertion and stress; it needs to be replenished regularly, as it is not stored in the body. Its reserves are also depleted by drinking large amounts of coffee and tea. This vitamin can be found, for example, in nuts or unpeeled grains. Thiamine plays an important role in our body in the breakdown of sugars and starches and is involved in the energy metabolism of our body. It supports the function of the heart, nervous system and mental activities.

• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) helps protect cells from oxidative stress and maintain healthy red blood cells. It is important for the good condition of the eyes, skin, heart and mucous membranes. Vegans and vegetarians must regularly supplement this vitamin, as it is found only in animal-based foods.

• Vitamin B3 (niacin) contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to proper mental functions. Niacin can be found in leafy vegetables and legumes.

• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to proper mental functions, to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Vitamin B5 can be found in legumes and wholegrain bread.

• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, the regulation of hormonal activity and amino acid metabolism. An increased intake is particularly necessary for athletes who consume large amounts of protein and for women using hormonal contraception. It reduces fatigue and exhaustion. It is found in vegetables (carrots, spinach, cabbage), nuts, legumes and grains. However, its content is significantly reduced by heat treatment.

• Vitamin B7 (biotin) contributes to maintaining normal hair and skin. It is involved in metabolism and it is advisable to take it together with other B vitamins for better absorption.

• Folic acid contributes to the normal function of the immune system and represents a suitable dietary supplement during pregnancy and when planning a pregnancy. Folic acid is a carrier for the iron-containing protein in haemoglobin and is also vital for the formation of red blood cells and cell division. Mitosis and cell reproduction also depend on folic acid, as does the synthesis of RNA and DNA – the source of cellular life. For this reason, pregnant women are recommended a daily intake of folic acid of at least 400 μg. Folic acid, like other B vitamins, is water-soluble and is found in leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli and Brussels sprouts), legumes, nuts and grains.

• Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that does not occur in nature. When cyanocobalamin enters the body, it is converted into methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, which are the two active forms of vitamin B12 in humans. This form is often used in dietary supplements because it is considered more stable and cost-effective than other forms of vitamin B12. It is involved in the metabolism of every cell in the human body, particularly influencing DNA synthesis, fatty acid metabolism and amino acid metabolism. Vitamin B12 helps the body reduce bouts of fatigue and increase concentration levels, as well as contributing to normal homocysteine metabolism. Vegans and vegetarians must regularly supplement this vitamin, as it is found only in animal-based foods.

• Iron is an important trace element during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when its intake needs to be increased. It plays an irreplaceable role in the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, in the process of cell division, contributes to the transport of oxygen in the body and to the reduction of fatigue.
