Why do I need iron, magnesium, zinc, folate and choline?
Zinc gets the spotlight for its immunity boosting properties, and it also plays important roles in growth and development.
Iron is a mama’s secret weapon. During pregnancy, iron is needed to support growth and development of the fetus and placenta and to meet the increased need of red blood cells for oxygen transport. Maternal blood volume increases 50% during pregnancy so the need for iron increases.
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions -- basically it's the body’s workhorse! Adequate intake of magnesium is important for fetal development.
Folate is critical for embryonic and fetal growth and most widely known for its role in the closure of the neural tube early in pregnancy.
Choline is one of the most important nutrients during pregnancy and most prenatal vitamins do not contain adequate amounts! Choline is essential for embryonic and fetal brain development, liver function, placental function and transport of nutrients to baby through the placenta.
Is Mama Bar ok for my kids to eat?
Yes, these are made with simple, real food ingredients that are good for the whole family.
