Trouble Sleeping?
Many pregnant & post-partum women experience increased sleep disruption which can cause exhaustion and moodiness. While most medications are generally not healthy for a developing baby, Optimal Balance® has been proven to help.
A recent study showed how Optimal Balance® significantly improved sleep quality in individuals suffering from insomnia, and also reduced depression, anxiety, and stress.
VIDEO-Why Supplementing Correctly Truly Matters:
Planning to Breastfeed?
Complete your healthy baby nutritional regimen by combining Optimal Balance® with Bone Health Essentials for added Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Vitamin D, & Vitamin C.
Experts recommend starting prenatal supplements at least 3 months before conception to nourish the developing egg cells. Also, a lot of important fetal development happens before most women even know they are pregnant. Plus, after the birth, nutrient demands are even higher, because the mother’s body must both repair itself as well as provide for the accelerated growth for the new baby (if nursing). Bone-building nutrients like those found in Bone Health Essentials are especially important during this time.
Getting Enough Fat(s)?
Studies show the body can produce all the omegas it needs when provided with the right vitamins and minerals, like those found in Optimal Balance™, and adequate dietary intake of healthy fats, such as ALA (alpha linolenic acid). Give an extra Omega-3 boost to both mom & baby by adding Essential Omegas to your daily supplement intake. (contains DHA & EPA)
Concerned About Post-Partum Depression?
Optimal Balance™, while powerful, is not a replacement for clinical micronutrient therapy. Women with a history of depression or mood disorders may need our clinical strength multi-vitamin mineral formulation,
Daily Essential Nutrients.
