The naturally smart for women^® formula is recommended by leading specialists in women’s health and reproductive medicine as a complete multivitamin/mineral supplement for use before, during and after pregnancy. This supplement is designed specifically to support optimal health for women by promoting hormonal balance, enhancing fertility and increasing the chances of conception, helping to ensure a healthy pregnancy, and easing postpartum recovery.

Many fertility problems, fetal and placental development issues and other complications of pregnancy can be linked to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. That’s why women can benefit from starting a high-quality supplement regimen even before they conceive, when they first begin preparing for pregnancy.

The naturally smart for women^® formula is excellent for women who are currently undergoing fertility treatment. It can also be taken safely by women who are already pregnant to improve pregnancy outcome. The formula contains all the recommended vitamins and minerals of a high-quality pre-natal supplement plus additional vitamins, major minerals and trace minerals as well as a unique proprietary complex with natural pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, and raspberry extracts that deliver an antioxidant boost.

Beneficial Ingredients

• Blueberry Extract – a source of antioxidants proven effective in fighting free radicals.
• Boron – a trace element that may play a role in estrogen balance.
• Calcium – important not only for building stronger, denser bones and preventing osteoporosis, but also for releasing neurotransmitters and muscle contraction (including contraction in the heart muscle).
• Choline – animportant nutrient that is actively transported from mother to fetus across the placenta and from mother to infant across the mammary gland. Choline is critical during fetal development due to its influential effect on stem cell proliferation and apoptosis, thereby altering brain structure and function.
• Chromium –a trace mineral that works with insulin to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. It also helps the body process carbohydrates, fats and proteins efficiently.
• Coenzyme Q10 – an important antioxidant. In addition to its general benefits, supplementation with CoQ10 reduces the risk of developing pre-eclampsia in women at risk for the condition. During fertility treatments, it may also contribute to an improved energetic state of the oocyte that would result in a more accurate chromosomal separation, increased embryo quality, and increased pregnancy rate.
• Copper – an essential nutrient that can help combat oxidative stress.
• Cranberry Extract – a super antioxidant with some antibiotic properties.
• Inositol – a nutrient that plays an important role in treatments for many different conditions. For women with polycystic ovaries, inositol may be useful for improving ovulation, reducing insulin resistance and reducing symptoms of PCOS.
• Iodine – a trace element vital to proper thyroid function and metabolism.
• Magnesium – is an essential mineral. It plays a role in the body’s processing of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
• Manganese – is a trace mineral that helps form the cartilage and bone of the skeletal structure. It also plays a key role in the production of sex hormones and is a component of an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
• Molybdenum – is a trace mineral stored in the liver. Molybdenum helps promote normal cell function and assists in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It’s also needed to help transport iron from the liver and is a component of an enzyme that’s necessary for the proper utilization of iron.
• Pomegranate Extract –a rich source of folic acid, antioxidants, polyphenols.
• Potassium – an essential mineral that helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in body cells. Potassium also plays a role in regulating blood pressure and assists muscle contraction by assisting in the transmission of nerve impulses.
• Raspberry Extract – anl antioxidant that promotes healthy cell growth.
• Selenium – a trace mineral with antioxidant properties that protect cells from damage by free radicals.
• Silicon – a substancebelieved to play a role in the production of collagen. Collagen provides strength, rigidity, and flexibility to bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments, cell walls and membranes, nails, and skin.
• Vanadium – an essential trace mineralthat plays a role in the regulation of blood sugar and insulin sensitivity.
• Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) – is an important antioxidant vitamin that supports immune function. It’s essential to maintaining healthy skin and is critical to healthy eyesight.
• Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) – necessary for proper adrenal gland function, proper immune function and neurotransmitter synthesis. Thiamin also helps metabolize food and alcohol. Low thiamin levels can present as poor memory, fatigue, muscle weakness and blindness. Chronically low levels of thiamin can contribute to heart disease, brain damage and even death.
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) – required for normal gene function, energy production, a properly functioning immune system and the formation of blood cells. Cobalamin should always be taken with folic acid because folic acid can mask anemias due to cobalamin deficiency.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – required for energy production and proper utilization of oxygen. Riboflavin deficiencies can lead to fatigue, blindness, anemia, and crusting around the mouth.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – necessary for the body’s production of energy. Niacin is also used to treat high cholesterol, schizophrenia, neurological disease and Raynaud's syndrome (a blood vessel disorder that causes an individual’s hands and feet to get very cold).
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) – vital for the production of energy, proper immune system function and adrenal stress hormone production. Pantothenic Acid is sometimes referred to as the “antistress” vitamin.
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin) – essential for fat and protein metabolism, effective immunity and gene function. Biotin deficiency is rare, but is most common in elderly, diabetes and individuals taking too many antibiotics.
• Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) – especially important for women of childbearing age because folic acid deficiencies are linked to birth defects such as neural tube defects. The recommended daily allowance is 400 mcg for all women of childbearing age (including those on birth control) but pregnant women should be taking 800–1000 mcg of folic acid a day. Alcoholics, heart disease patients and people taking antibiotics should also be on folic acid supplementation.
• Vitamin C – important for the synthesis of carnitine, which is essential for combatting stress damage. Vitamin C also has many other beneficial effects, including antioxidant activity that reduces free radicals in the body. When there are more free radicals then antioxidants the body is more susceptible to disease. This condition is call oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can result in significant damage to cell structure. Conditions caused by oxidative stress include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, and chronic inflammatory disease. Increasing blood serum levels of vitamin C may have the beneficial effect of lowering oxidative stress. Vitamin C is also important for synthesizing collagen and neurotransmitters. Vitamin C is maintained in many tissues in the body as well as in the blood stream. These tissues include adrenal glands, pituitary gland, thymus gland, the retina, and the corpus luteum (cyst on the ovary after ovulation that sustains early pregnancy).
• Vitamin E – important for supporting cardiovascular and circulatory health, vitamin E has a beneficial effect on conditions such as heart-disease and pre-diabetes,
• VItamin K – is critical for proper blood clotting. It’s a necessary component in the body’s manufacture of a protein in blood plasma. If you get a cut, Vitamin K helps solidify the blood and moderate bleeding.
• Zinc – believed to have important anti-aging, antioxidant properties, particularly for the skin and muscles. Zinc is also useful for wound healing after an injury, for prevention or reduction in severity and duration of the common cold, prevention of sunburn and windburn and can protect against diaper rash, halitosis (bad breath) and dandruff. Studies show that zinc is effective in treating for age-related macular degeneration and for acrodermatitis enteropathica (a fatal genetic disorder that affects zinc absorption). Zinc has also been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent in the gastrointestinal tract.
