Stellar Mama 30 Day Pack Anastellar

Stellar-Mama is AnaStellar's premium pregnancy supplement, a 30-day pack of three components. The multivitamin capsule provides 500mcg of active folate (5-MTHF), which does not need to be converted by the body, 24mg of gentle ferrous bisglycinate iron, myo-inositol and the active forms of vitamins B6 and B12. The calcium tablet supplies 500mg calcium with magnesium, 1000IU vitamin D3, vitamin K2, zinc, selenium and collagen. The omega-3 softgel delivers DHA for the baby's brain and eyes. It can be taken before conception, throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It is halaal certified and suitable for pescatarians. 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. Without enough iron the body cannot make enough haemoglobin, so less oxygen reaches muscle and brain. The result is tiredness, breathlessness on exertion and poor concentration. DHA is the omega-3 fat that makes up a large part of the baby's developing brain and retina, and it is transferred from mother to baby in the last trimester and through breast milk.

Up to a third of women carry a gene variant that limits how well they convert ordinary folic acid, which is why active folate matters. Folate needs rise sharply when you are planning a pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding, and intake from food is seldom enough on its own.
