As of gestational week 13 to the end of the ® nursing period, move on to Femibion 2 Pregnancy Nursing Period. Femibion 2 Pregnancy Nursing Period is a combination of 400 μg of folate (200 µg of folic acid combined with the corresponding quantity of Metafolin) and further vitamins and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The particular significance of DHA In the second half of pregnancy, DHA, a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid, is particularly important. Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the eyes and the brain of the foetus and breastfed infant. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake for omega-3 fatty acids for adults, i.e. 250 mg DHA. The German Society of Nutrition (DGE), therefore, recommends the daily intake of at least 200 mg DHA during pregnancy and the nursing period. Femibion 2 Pregnancy Nursing Period contains 200 mg DHA extracted from highly purified fish-oil concentrate. The strictly controlled manufacturing procedure employed guarantees excellent, nearly odourless quality. Being a natural product, slight colour fluctuations of the fish oil are possible.
