Why BePure Natal Nurture Pack?
If you are wanting to prepare your body for conception, nutrition is highly important as pregnancy requires a tonne of your body's energy and depletes its resources, including vitamins and minerals. Because of this, it's of the utmost importance to make sure you're getting the right micronutrients in your body well before you try to conceive.
Women (and men!) need a minimum of 3 months to properly nourish our bodies prior to conceiving, so it’s a good idea to start loving your body for baby-making early on.
BePure Prenatal Nurture has been designed to support the prevention of neural tube defects and promote healthy neural, thyroid and brain development in babies with extra folic acid and iodine. It also includes additional nourishing nutrients to give both mother and baby the very best start into motherhood and childhood. Each ingredient has been hand selected to support mother and baby across this miraculous life event.
For example, when it comes to B vitamins and fertility the form really matters. We typically recommend an MVI or B-complex that contains L-Methylfolate (Folate), Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (B6), and Methylcobalamin (B12) for optimal absorption.
For those with PMS and wanting to conceive, B6 is going to be a winner for you. The activated form of B6 (pyridoxal 5-phosphate or P5P) is essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones, particularly progesterone. B6 also promotes anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and assists with healthy detoxification and clearance of both oestrogen and histamine (a common contributor of PMS).
Probiotics are also essential for healthy fertility. This is because you want to ensure that your microbiome is full of beneficial bacteria for your own health and for when you want to make babies.
Babies are born with a completely sterile gut and they culture their beneficial gut bacteria from what they receive from their mother when passing through the birth canal and from nursing in the months afterward.
The specific strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR1 6billion and Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14 6 billion will promote a healthy birth canal in the mother and ensure that your baby will get a good dose of beneficial bacteria to set up their microbiome giving them the best start in life.
Ben Warren has designed Prenatal Nurture to be taken alongside BePure One and ideally BePure Three in the BePure Natal Nurture Pack to support optimal nutrient levels pre, during and post pregnancy.
