Zita West Vital Essence 3

Product code: ZW-007

Premium Pregnancy Nutrition For Weeks 13-28 of Pregnancy
Zita West Vital Essence 3 is a specially designed formula to help meet all the needs in the 3rd trimester and to help you keep as fit and healthy as possible in preparation for labour, birth, and breast-feeding. In the third trimester your blood volume increases by 40 percent, your pelvic joints expand and your breast tissue develops. Your baby is also growing faster than at any other time in your pregnancy, doubling in size, increasing nerve cells, strengthening bones, maturing lungs, immune system and digestive tract, and laying down stores of fat, Iron, and Calcium. Brain cells are multiplying faster than at any other time in his or her life. Zita West Vital Essence 3 will help you and your body during this time of pregnancy, supplying all the most important nutrients your body needs to help prepare you for labour.

  • Vitamins and minerals for the third trimester (28-40 weeks)
  • Full of the most important nutrients needed.
  • Helps keep you as fit and healthy as possible in preparation for labour.
  • Your baby grows faster than at any other time in your pregnancy.

Zita West Vital Essence 3 contains increased levels of Calcium, to help with muscle growth and nerve and muscle functions, and increased levels of Magnesium to help support the development of the liver and heart and with the metabolism of protein. Most of a baby's Calcium is deposited in this trimester as his or her bones and teeth harden. The foetus takes up Calcium at the rate of approximately 350mg a day during this stage of the pregnancy, so it is good to have a plentiful supply to prevent it being taken from your own skeleton.

Zita West's Vital Essence 3 also contains Phosphorus to help with skeletal growth and the proper functioning of cell membranes. There is also plenty of Iron, to help with the manufacture of red blood cells in preparation for the birth, and good levels of Vitamin D and Vitamin B3. Choline is included to help with the production of healthy cell membranes, as well as Iodine, Co Q10 and Folic Acid. The formula also contains Beta Carotene, to help protect against possible Vitamin A deficiency and cell mutation, plus a wide range of other ingredients, such as Lutein, Lycopene, Alpha-Lipoic Acid and Pomegranate and Grapeskin Extracts, to help protect against free-radical damage to cells.

During the last trimester of pregnancy, the baby goes through a period of intense development called the brain spurt. At this time, your baby's brain will take up 70% of your calorie intake and demand for DHA is greater than ever. Zita West strongly recommends that Vital Essence 3 should be taken in conjunction with VitalDHA. All Zita West products are developed in response to the very latest research and are regularly reviewed and reformulated to remain at the cutting-edge of clinical and nutritional thinking for optimum reproductive health.
