Why did we split the formulation into 2 different tablets?
There are many benefits to splitting our formulation into 2 tablets, primarily sensitivity and absorption.
Some nutrients enhance the absorption of others. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron, and Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium. However, calcium and zinc both inhibit iron absorption, so it is best to be taken separately.
There are optimal times to take different nutrients. B vitamins are best taken in the morning as they help the body produce energy from food and may affect sleep if taken later in the day. Whereas, Magnesium taken at night can help to relax the body and promote sleep.
When should I start taking EIUS Prenatal AM and PM?
Early pregnancy is a critical time, as vital organ development takes place in the first trimester. To ensure your body is ready to support this crucial period, we recommend starting EIUS Prenatal AM and PM at least 1 month, preferably 3 months prior to falling pregnant, giving your body time to reach the new nutritional status required of your body for pregnancy.
However, not everything in life is planned! If you are pregnant and looking for a Prenatal Multivitamin to support you and your growing baby on this amazing journey, order EIUS Prenatal AM and PM now, and we will get it to you asap.
Should I take EIUS Prenatal for my whole pregnancy?
Yes. To meet the increased nutritional needs of your body during pregnancy and the developmental needs of your growing foetus, additional supplementation of specific nutrients is recommended. Eius Prenatal AM and PM is designed to help meet these increased nutritional needs, which can be challenging through diet alone.
Please note: Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet. We recommend that you advise your doctor of any medication you take during pregnancy, particularly in your first trimester. If you are concerned about the health of yourself or your baby, talk to your health practitioner.
