    • During pregnancy and breastfeeding, nutritional needs rise significantly to support both mother and child. From conception and prenatal care through to postpartum recovery and breastfeeding, the right supplements can help fill dietary gaps and provide peace of mind. Our Pregnancy & Breastfeeding range is designed to deliver the most important nutrients for these critical stages of life.

    Key Nutrients for Pregnancy

    • Folate (Folic Acid) – Essential in early pregnancy to support neural tube development and reduce the risk of birth defects. Health authorities recommend supplementation before and during the first trimester.
    • Iodine – Vital for thyroid function and fetal brain development; many New Zealand women have low iodine intake.
    • Iron – Supports maternal blood volume expansion and prevents fatigue, a common concern during pregnancy.
    • Calcium & Vitamin D – Critical for strong bones and teeth in both mother and baby. Vitamin D also supports immunity and mood.
    • Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA & EPA) – Support brain, eye, and nervous system development in infants, while also reducing inflammation and supporting mood balance in mothers.
    • Probiotics – Promote digestive comfort, reduce constipation, and support immunity for both mother and baby, with evidence suggesting benefits for infant gut health and reduced allergy risk.

    Nutrients for Breastfeeding Mothers

    Breastfeeding increases nutrient demands further, especially for energy, hydration, and micronutrients passed through breast milk. Supplements can:

    • Replenish maternal stores of iron, calcium, and vitamin D
    • Provide omega-3 DHA for continued infant brain development
    • Support milk quality with balanced nutrition and probiotics
    • Help mothers maintain energy and mood during this demanding stage

    Benefits of Supplementing During This Time

    • Supports healthy growth and development for baby
    • Reduces maternal fatigue and nutrient depletion
    • Helps balance mood and stress resilience during hormonal shifts
    • Promotes long-term health for both mother and child

    Lifestyle Foundations

    Supplements should complement a balanced pregnancy diet rich in whole foods, protein, fibre, and healthy fats. Adequate hydration, rest, and gentle movement (as recommended by a healthcare provider) further support wellbeing during this life stage.
