Calcium L-methylfolate Calcium L-methylfolate Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal function of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Supplementation with folic acid is recommended to women during breastfeeding. 533,3 μg 200,0

(corresponds to 400,0 μg of folic acid)

DHA DHA In recent years, research has focused on the great health benefits of DHA in relation to its occurrence in breast milk. Levels of maternal DHA decline during pregnancy and decrease even further when the lactation period is extended. In breastfed infants, supply of these fatty acids is dependent on the maternal diet. Maternal DHA status depends mainly on intake of DHA itself as conversion of alpha-linolenic acid, present in nuts and other vegetable oils, into DHA is low. The Western diet contains a relatively low amount of DHA, so its supply is usually insufficient. 200,0 mg -

Inulin Inulin Inulin belongs to the indigestible oligosaccharides and is a type of prebiotic. Next to lactose (68 g/l), fat (37 g/l) and protein (10-12 g/l) human milk also contains high amount, 10 – 20 g/l of oligosaccharides. In the past couple of years, >90 human milk oligosaccharides have been characterized. They inspired the addition of non-digestible oligosaccharides and inulin to infant food to obtain a comparable effect. Establishment of the intestinal flora soon after birth plays a key role throughout life. 250,0 mg -

Vitamin B2 Vitamin B2 B2 (also known as riboflavin) promotes healthy vision, skin, supports functioning of nervous system, normal red blood cells and providing energy. Pregnant or lactating women who rarely consume meats or dairy products (such as those living in developing countries and some vegetarians) are at risk of riboflavin deficiency. 2,0 mg 142,8

Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. B6 additionally contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. 2,5 mg 178,5

Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 Vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 3,5 μg 140,0

Vitamin D3 Vitamin D3 Vitamin D contributes to normal blood calcium levels, normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. 10,0 μg 200,0

Vitamin E Vitamin E Thanks to its antioxidant function, vitamin E acts as a protective system for various cells in the body - in particular, it stabilizes cell membranes and prevents their possible damage. Free radicals damage cells and might contribute to other problems. The amount of vitamin E in breast milk depends on the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the mother's diet. When there is an excess of PUFA in the diet, there can be a significant decrease in the level of vitamin E in the milk. 10,0 mg 83,3

Vitamin C Vitamin C During pregnancy, the level of the vitamin in the mother physiologically decreases. Vitamin C is transported actively by the placenta, with passive diffusion occurring at high maternal concentrations. It is believed that the need for vitamin C increases slightly during pregnancy and lactation. Ascorbic acid is absolutely essential during these periods for its irreplaceable effects in numerous biochemical processes. 110,0 mg 137,5

Vitamin В1 Vitamin В1 Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in energy metabolism by acting as a coenzyme in the production of energy from carbohydrates. It contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and maintains normal heart function by maintaining the optimal condition of nervous tissue and heart muscle. 1,6 mg 145,4

Vitamin В3 Vitamin В3 Vitamin B3 or niacin is a component of many important coenzymes and is significantly involved in energy metabolism. Niacin contributes to healthy skin, mucous membranes and support of nervous system as well as to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 16,0 mg 100,0

Vitamin В5 Vitamin В5 Pantothenic acid (also known as vitamin B5) is an essential nutrient whose main function is the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). As part of coenzyme A, it contributes to the production of steroid hormones and a multitude of other anabolic and catabolic processes. 7,0 mg 116,6

Biotin (Vitamin В7) Biotin (Vitamin В7) Biotine contributes to normal psychological function and helps to maintain the good condition of skin and hair. 50,0 μg 100,0

Vitamin A Vitamin A Vitamin A contributes to normal iron metabolism, maintenance of normal mucous membranes, has a role in the process of cell specialization, contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and vision. 530,0 μg 66,2

Iodine Iodine Iodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function. Thyroid hormones affect the body's basic processes. Lactating women need an increased intake of iodine during exclusive breastfeeding, i.e. especially the first six months of the infant's life. For infants, breast milk is the only source of iodine. Iodine contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, normal cognitive function and normal growth of children. 150,0 μg 100,0

Zinc Zinc Zinc is an essential nutrient. In the human body, zinc is a component and activator of many enzymes involved in many processes. Zinc is involved in many aspects of cellular metabolism. It is required for the catalytic activity of hundreds of enzymes, and it plays a role in enhancing immune function, protein and DNA synthesis, and cell signaling and division. The amount of zinc needed increases during pregnancy and also during lactation. 13,0 mg 130,0

Selenium Selenium Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system and thyroid function. 55,0 μg 100,0

Copper Copper Copper is an essential micronutrient. It is a cofactor for several enzymes (known as cuproenzymes) involved in energy production, iron metabolism and connective tissue synthesis. It contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and normal hair and skin pigmentation. 1,0 mg 100,0

Manganese Manganese Manganese is an essential trace element. The body uses manganese to produce energy and protect cells from free radical damage. The body also needs manganese for strong bones and connective tissue. 2,0 mg 100,0

Chromium Chromium Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. 50,0 μg 125,0

Recommendations of the European Food Safety Authority for folate supplementation in pregnant and lactating women

Supplementation with Ca-L-methylfolate is required for an equivalent of 600 μg of folic acid daily throughout pregnancy.

During pregnancy, fetal growth causes an increase in the total number of rapidly dividing cells, which leads to increased requirements for folate and other ingredients such as iodin and iron.
Meeting these needs through diet alone is nearly impossible

Supplementation with Ca-L-methylfolate is reduced to an equivalent of 500 μg of folic acid daily during lactation..

Lactating women have increased folate requirements in order to compensate for folate secreted in breast milk and to maintain an adequate folate status.
