Chela-Preg 90 Tablets

Chela-Preg is a comprehensive pregnancy multivitamin from the makers of Chela-Fer. It uses the same amino acid chelated iron, which is well absorbed and far less likely to cause constipation and nausea, both of which are already common in pregnancy. It covers folic acid and the full range of vitamins and minerals needed from conception through breastfeeding. The 90-tablet pack lasts a full trimester. A multivitamin and mineral covers the micronutrients that everyday diets most often miss, including the B vitamins for energy release, vitamins C and D and zinc for immune function, and antioxidants that protect cells. Iron is the core of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to every tissue. It is also needed for energy production in muscle and for normal immune and cognitive function. Folate is required to copy DNA and to form red blood cells. In early pregnancy it is essential for the closure of the baby's neural tube, which happens before many women know they are pregnant.

Pregnancy nausea is hard enough without an iron supplement making it worse. Skipped meals, a limited diet, dieting, stress and a busy schedule all leave gaps in vitamin and mineral intake. A daily multivitamin is simple insurance against them.
