Planning, Pregnancy and breastfeeding

I wish to have a baby

To increase fertility, both partners should maintain a healthy diet, refrain from alcohol and smoking and be physically active. If you are missing some essential nutrients, your body will stop the  fertility function. Thus you should make sure that all the important nutrients and trace elements are present in your diet in order to provide the best conditions for pregnancy/conception.

The supply of essential micronutrients in Germany is often inadequate during the pre- pregnancy. A well-balanced pre-pregnancy nutrition is important and will help provide the micronutrients you need for good health, vitality and increased fertility. In contrast, alcohol consumption, smoking, birth control pills, frequent diets and malnutrition (fast food, cafeteria food, ready meals) and vegetarian diets lead to micronutrient deficiency.

"I'm pregnant!"

You completed a pregnancy test. The result is positive. You go to the doctor and he says, "Congratulations, you are expecting a baby" and you are overjoyed. As an expecting mother you need to pay special attention to the now regular checkups and a healthy and balanced diet to ensure optimal development of your child. After all, you are the only source for your baby.

Welcome, baby!

It's wonderful, your child is there and you have the best food for your baby: breast milk. On your chest your baby gets exactly what it needs. The World Health Organization recommends that newborns are breastfed in the first 6 months only to prevent infection and growth problems..

In order for breast milk to contain all the nutrients your child needs you must have a healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy. As often times a healthy diet is not enough, the essential micronutrients should in addition be taken as a dietary supplement.

graVita helps you meet the increased needs during pregnancy and lactation with a nutrient combination of folates, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acid, iodine, iron, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
