Efanatal™ is highly recommended for use before, during and after pregnancy. It can be taken in conjunction with a folic acid supplement which is also recommended prior to conception and during pregnancy to support the healthy neural tube development of the foetus.
Efanatal™ is a nutritional supplement which provides an ideal ratio of the long chain polyunsaturated (LCPs) essential fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) for the health of both mother and baby. These fatty acids are both known to be essential to the development of brain, nerve and eye function in the growing foetus and infants. It provides a measured amount of DHA and AA, together with a balanced ratio of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are also essential for optimal health and naturally present in breast milk. A wealth of research now confirms the importance of adequate essential fatty acid intake before, during and after pregnancy to help ensure the optimal maternal health and normal baby development.
Efanatal is specially formulated to help in three ways for:
1. Before pregnancy to build up a Mother's store of vital LCPUFAs
2. During pregnancy to provide the DHA & AA, which are important building blocks for Baby's brain, eye and central nervous system
3. After pregnancy to help ensure adequate levels of LCPUFAs both to the Mother and Baby via the mother's breast milk.
Importance of fatty acids in pregnancy
While LCPUFAs can be obtained from your diet, it's difficult to ensure an adequate supply during pregnancy. Foods that are rich in LCPUFAs tend to be the kind of things that pregnant women are encouraged to avoid, either for the health of the baby (e.g. eggs, offal, fatty fish) or for their own cholesterol levels (e.g. red meat)
In the last trimester of pregnancy the brain in the unborn baby increases 4 to 5 times in size and there is a rapid accumulation of DHA and AA in the eye and brain.
Taking Efanatal is a safe way to help safeguard the levels of these nutrients
