Pregnancy is a fantastic journey where a woman carries and nurtures a new life within her.

Here are some of the supplements specially adapted for pregnant women and the important role they play in supporting a healthy pregnancy.

Diet plays a role
There's a lot to think about. And if there's ever a time in life when you're extra careful about what you consume, it's now, to ensure you're getting the best fuel for both you and your baby. You are closely connected via the umbilical cord, which runs from the placenta. This means that what you eat goes directly to the foetus.
Tips for you during pregnancy
• Eat a varied diet.
• Be extra mindful of your recovery and rest when you feel tired.
• Exercise regularly, for example, by taking daily walks.
• Avoid alcohol and nicotine, and consume caffeine in moderation.
Another important tip along the way: remember to try and enjoy this time. And above all, the calm. Take care of yourself.
Food supplements for pregnancy from Great Earth
Questions like: What do I want to eat? What am I allowed to eat? What should I eat? What should I absolutely not eat or drink? These are all completely normal. When it comes to food supplements, it can feel like a jungle, but we have several different supplements that can be beneficial for you during pregnancy. Being pregnant is a unique and wonderful experience, and taking care of your own health is crucial for ensuring the healthy development of your little one. Food supplements like Multi Gravid, Omega 3 Vegan, and Live Cultures can be valuable additions to help meet the increased nutritional needs during this special time.
Multi Gravid - Optimal nutrition in one capsule
Multi Gravid is a multivitamin specially formulated in line with the Nordic nutritional recommendations for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It contains a balanced blend of vitamins and minerals that are crucial for the well-being of both mother and baby. By providing the right amount of nutrients, Multi Gravid supports the optimal development of the foetus and helps the mother maintain good health throughout her pregnancy. Read more.
Folic Acid
Folic Acid is recommended by midwives for those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Folic acid is part of the B-vitamin family, has a role in the process of cell division, and contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Folic acid also contributes to normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, something many women can agree is needed during pregnancy.

Omega 3 Vegan - Healthy fatty acids for development
Omega 3 Vegan is an important component for pregnant women, as it contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the foetus. This food supplement is particularly important for those who don't eat much fish, or are vegetarian or vegan, as it provides the necessary omega-3 fatty acids without being derived from fish oil. It's a sustainable and ethical alternative that supports the expectant mother and baby in the best way. Read more.
Live Cultures - Supports a balanced gut for both mum and baby
Live Cultures are food supplements containing probiotics that play a crucial role during pregnancy. When a baby is born, it inherits part of the mother's gut flora, which is why it's important for the mother to have a balanced gut. These probiotics support digestive health by promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria. A balanced gut in the mother can also have positive effects on the baby's own digestive health at birth.
