Lutein and zeaxanthin are two plant pigments from the group of carotenoids that give fruits and vegetables their yellow to reddish color. Our body cannot synthesize them, so it is important to get them through food and supplements, and they work best when used in combination. It has been proven that the level of lutein and zeaxanthin in the blood increases during pregnancy and is transferred to the fetus via the umbilical cord blood, while the levels of other known carotenoids in the blood of the pregnant woman remain unchanged.

After being transferred from the mother to the unborn baby, lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the retina of the fetus between the 17th and 22nd week of pregnancy. Nutrients taken in by the mother are secreted into the milk and indirectly protect the infant during breastfeeding, so that the importance of lutein and zeaxanthin does not end even after childbirth. Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the brain, skin, breast tissue, but also in breast milk, thus providing antioxidant protection for the baby.

Due to its key role in cell division and the formation of certain fetal structures, it is recommended to start using folate 12 weeks before conception. Prenatal Omega3 + contains two forms of folic acid - the active form 5-MTHF (600 µg) and folic acid (200 (g), which contributes to the optimal bioavailability of folate in the mother's body. Low maternal folate levels are a risk factor for the development of neural tube damage in developing fetuses.

With just 2 Licaps® OceanCaps® Prenatal Omega3+ capsules a day, you take in all the essential nutrients in optimal doses essential for mom and baby. Licaps® capsules additionally increase the absorption efficiency of high-value active substances and protect the active ingredients from oxygen and external influences.

Before, during pregnancy and during breastfeeding

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the mother provides the necessary nutrients to the baby. Almagea PRENATAL OMEGA3+, helps prepare the body for pregnancy and during the delicate period of pregnancy and breastfeeding, helps meet the increased needs for certain essential nutrients: DHA, folate, iron, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin D, vitamin E, magnesium, iodine. Research indicates that the intake of folic acid and the active form of folate (5-MTHF) before and during the early stages of pregnancy can reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus.

Due to the essential role in the division of cells and the formation of certain structures of the fetus, it is advised that all women of reproductive age, in addition to food rich in folates, use dietary supplements containing 400 micrograms of folic acid every day, and it is preferable that half of the total amount be in the active form of 5-MTHF . DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) belongs to the group of omega-3 fatty acids and is the dominant building structure of the brain and retina of the eye, so it is considered that the intake of DHA in pregnant and lactating women contributes to the normal development of the brain and eye of fetuses and breastfed infants. In the first crucial years of life, DHA is conditionally essential, that is, the human body cannot synthesize it in sufficient quantity, which points to the necessity of its additional intake. Pregnant and lactating women achieve a beneficial effect with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA. The recommended total daily dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids is 250 mg.

Almagea PRENATAL OMEGA3+ it also contains 15 µg of vitamin D, which is in accordance with guidelines and recommendations based on numerous findings about the importance of preventing vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women. An adequate concentration of vitamin D in the mother's blood is also reflected in the vitamin D status of the newborn and has beneficial effects on bone health and the immune system of the mother and child.

During the period of breastfeeding

A woman's diet during the lactation period is unusually important for the proper production and quality of milk. It is considered that women in the lactation period need an additional 500 kcal per day. At the same time, the need for most vitamins and minerals increases, and the intake of beneficial nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids is extremely important in order to ensure an adequate concentration of these precious fats in mother's milk. A daily intake of at least 250 mg, and preferably 300 mg of omega-3 (DHA + EPA), is recommended, while the proportion of DHA should be 200 mg in order to achieve a beneficial effect, i.e. to contribute to the normal development of two key organs: the brain and the eye in breast-fed infants .

How to use

During the period before, during pregnancy and lactation, take one capsule twice a day, with meals.
