In multiple pregnancies, there is an increased demand for nutrients from the mother, coupled with a rapid depletion of her reserves. Therefore, this is a period of life in which special attention must be paid to the diet, since the food consumed by the mother is the main source of nutrition for the babies. The Spanish Society of Gynecology provides specific nutritional recommendations for this situation. NATALBEN TWIN is the first product with a formula adapted to this increased demand for certain nutrients and helps to meet the nutritional requirements of women during a multiple pregnancy. Role of the main components of NATALBEN Twin: Folic acid and vitamin B12: Folic acid is active from the beginning of gestation, so supplementation is recommended for pregnant women. This vitamin contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy. Additional folic acid intake increases maternal folate levels. Low maternal folate levels are a risk factor for neural tube defects in the developing fetus. This beneficial effect is reported to be achieved with a daily supplement of at least 400 µg of folic acid for at least one month before conception and up to three months after. In addition, folic acid and vitamin B12 contribute to the process of cell division. Iodine: During pregnancy, iodine requirements increase, contributing to normal cognitive function. Iron: Pregnancy significantly increases iron requirements to ensure adequate reserves for mother and child. Iron is a vital mineral that contributes to the normal transport of oxygen in the body and the process of cell division. Vitamin D3: During pregnancy, the mother needs adequate levels of vitamin D3 for proper calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 is also necessary for normal bone growth and development in children. Omega-3 fatty acids: Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the fetus. Pregnant women are advised to achieve this beneficial effect with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA, in addition to the recommended daily intake of omega-3 fatty acids for adults.
