Description
Prenatal Trimester 2 & 3 Plus Breastfeeding is a specially formulated pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamin designed to be taken twice a day to enhance prenatal health during pregnancy and maternal health during breastfeeding.
This pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamin is a step up from the Prenatal Trimester One with Ginger formula, providing even more of the key nutrients required in the last half of pregnancy and breastfeeding, including iodine, choline, zinc, vitamin D, and activated B vitamins.
It also contains 24mg in a daily dose of bioavailable elemental iron bisglycinate as Ferrochel® . Iron bisglycinate is a well absorbed and well tolerated form of iron.
This formula does not contain copper. During pregnancy, copper levels rise naturally, so copper supplementation is not usually necessary.
This careful selection of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants supports foetal development and placenta growth while maintaining good maternal health. It also helps to enhance postnatal health when you continue to take the pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamin every day following the birth, until your baby is no longer breastfeeding.
The formula is free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as animal products, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, soy, gluten, lactose, MSG, nuts, oats and grain derived ingredients, peanuts, sulphites, sucralose, wheat, yeast, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, and artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Take two capsules every day with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
It’s recommended to take one capsule with breakfast and then one capsule with lunch.
If you have been taking Prenatal Trimester One with Ginger during the first 14-16 weeks of your pregnancy (or whenever morning sickness has subsided), continue on with Prenatal Trimester 2 & 3 Plus Breastfeeding for the remainder of your pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Continue taking this pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamin until your baby is fully weaned from breastfeeding. It’s advisable to continue taking this pregnancy and breastfeeding multivitamin after the birth of your baby for the duration of your breastfeeding period, so your baby receives the nutrients they need from your breast milk.
If you fall pregnant again while breastfeeding, you can switch back to taking Prenatal Trimester One with Ginger capsules.
If you are planning another pregnancy while breastfeeding, you can take either Preconception Multi for Women or Prenatal Trimester 2 & 3 Plus Breastfeeding.
