Prenatal UNO
Prenatal UNO is a dietary supplement for women in the first trimester of pregnancy (up to week 12). It contains important ingredients in recommended portions that, by supplementing the diet, have a beneficial effect on the course of pregnancy** and fetal development***. It contains, among others, DNA Protection Formula – a set of ingredients that protect the genetic material (DNA) of the embryo and affect its nervous system (choline, folate, B12, B6)2,6,7. Prenatal UNO also contains a high portion of DHA, a component particularly important for the proper development of the child***, and EPA, which influences the transport of DHA to the placenta8. The preparation complies with the position of PTGiP1 2024.
Prenatal UNO contains two types of capsules containing ingredients selected for their beneficial effects on mother and child:
- vitamin and mineral capsules containing recommended portions of vitamins and minerals (including only active folate, vitamin D3, vitamins B6 and B12, iodine), enriched with choline and ginger,
- DHA capsules containing high-quality omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA. For greater comfort for pregnant women, the matte capsule shell technology reduces unpleasant fishy burping.
Scientific data:
Results of studies involving pregnant women indicate that combined supplementation of DHA and methylfolate affects the number of placental cells9. Scientific reports emphasize the role of DHA in the process of forming blood vessels in the placenta in the first trimester of pregnancy, which influences its course10.
Properties of ingredients:
- Research results indicate a significant role of choline in protection against DNA damage4 and in the functioning of the central nervous system, including structures responsible for memory2,6. The 2022 US recommendations indicate choline as a substance essential for brain development and emphasize its role as a component that may reduce the likelihood of Down syndrome and autism11.
- Vitamin D in the recommended daily dose of 2,000 IU12 is important forproper growth and bone development in children and supports the proper functioning of the immune system.
- Iodine helps in the proper production of hormones and the functioning of the thyroid gland. It is important forproper growth in children and plays a role in the development and functioning of the nervous system and cognitive functions in children13.
- Supplementing the diet with DHA from the beginning of pregnancy has a beneficial effect on the saturation of the mother's tissues. DHA should be supplied in a ready-made form, as the human body has a limited ability to synthesize it14. The main source of DHA is fatty marine fish, which, according to research, are consumed in insufficient quantities by women in Poland.15 DHA is essential for the development of a child's nervous system. Its supply during pregnancy is particularly important for the development of the child's brain and retina***. 200 mg of DHA daily in addition to the recommended daily intake of 250 mg of DHA and EPA.
- Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy**. Choline, Methyl B12, vitamin B6, and folate support homocysteine metabolism, which affects the development of the baby's nervous system16,17,7.
- Ginger is a natural ingredient that alleviates nausea and vomiting in pregnant women, as confirmed by study results5.
- Calcium L-methylfolate is a form of folate (folic acid) that does not require metabolic activation and is directly utilized by the mother and fetus18. Consuming the active form of folate is important for the general population, especially women with slower folic acid metabolism. This applies to every second Polish woman12.
- Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (B6) and methylcobalamin (Methyl B12) are forms of vitamins ready for use by the body19. The combination of folate, MethylB12, vitamin B6, and choline allows for the maximum utilization of folate's effects20.
