The product provides mother and child with essential nutrients such as bioactive folate, vitamins B₁₂, D₃, A, E and iodine. DHA is essential for the development of the child’s brain and eyes.

This formula covers the increased need for micronutrients and fatty acids in this sensitive phase and optimally supports the health of mother and child.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) belongs to the group of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Because polyunsaturated fatty acids cannot be produced by the human body, they must be absorbed through the diet. The intake of DHA by the expectant mother contributes to the normal l development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and in the breastfed infant.

Folic acid, which is crucial for cell division, is essential for the foetal development and significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects (NTD).

Vitamin B₁₂ supports the methylation cycle and thus helps to maintain folic acid levels in the body.

Vitamin D₃ promotes healthy bones and a strengthened immune system.

Vitamin A plays an important role in the development of cells and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. During pregnancy, the vitamin A requirement is increased.

Vitamin E helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Iodine supports the functions of the nervous system and energy metabolism and ensures the maintenance of normal skin.

Folio^® 2 basic DHA, combines the essential basic supply of folic acid and iodine, with L-methylfolate (bioactive folic acid) and selected vitamins as well as the very important docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for women from the 13^th week of pregnancy until the end of breastfeeding in just one hard capsule a day.
