Step 1: Nucleo Daily Superfood Foundation
What:
50g Nucleo Superfood + 4 teaspoons Collagen daily
Why:
Nucleo is the most affordable superfood blend in South Africa that contains all the necessary nutrients for pregnancy. Nucleo has been successfully used by thousands of mothers over the past 20 years. Even if you only take Nucleo daily, you will provide more than 80% of what your baby needs for good health.
Benefits:
- Rich in Spirulina which detoxes heavy metals, fights bad bacteria, feeds good bacteria, and supports hormonal balance
- Natural antioxidant properties with Spirulina and Colostrum that fight disease
- Contains 1300mg wild salmon oil per 50g meal (Omega 3 fats) for baby's brain development and growth. Also fights inflammation during pregnancy.
- Packed with essential minerals (Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, Selenium, Lecithin, Iron) for perfect baby development
- Contains prebiotics and digestive enzymes that exponentially grow healthy gut bacteria
- Complete range of vitamins and minerals bound in amino acid chelate for optimal absorption and immunity
- The combination of Nucleo and Collagen provides a variety of healthy proteins to support your body's rapid changes during pregnancy
Step 2: Gut Health Support
What:
30ml Rawbiotics Defense every other day
Why:
Healthy gut bacteria are essential for optimal absorption and immunity
Benefits:
- Exponentially improves probiotic growth
- Supports digestive health
- Builds baby's future "zoo" of microbes so the microbe immunity is fortified, especially during breastfeeding.
Step 3: Take Extra Vitamin D3
What:
Take 1 capsule (40,000IU Mega D3) daily for 7-10 days, then 2 capsules per week
Why:
You need extra Vitamin D3 beyond what's in Nucleo to reach optimal vitamin D levels. This greatly strengthens mom's immune system and optimizes mineral and vitamin absorption through the placenta. Moms with high Vit D (above 50ng/ml) also experience much less nausea during the first trimester
Benefits:
- Extraordinary improved absorption of placental nutrients
- Healthy bone development
- Helps prevent premature birth and colic
- Prevents nausea
Step 4: Magnesium as a Solution for Morning Sickness
What:
Take 2 x MgO caps, 1 x BrainMag cap and the Mega D3 cap first thing in the morning after a healthy snack. Building up magnesium and D3 should reduce nausea within one or two weeks.
Why:
Every person is different, but most women need more than 600mg elemental magnesium per day to overcome morning sickness.
Most moms find that an empty stomach worsens morning sickness. So eat a healthy snack before getting up. And avoid taking magnesium on an empty stomach. See benefits below on how increased magnesium supports more than 300 biological processes in mom's rapidly changing body.
Benefits:
- Prevention of muscle cramps during pregnancy
- Prevents, along with Vit D3, premature birth of baby
- Prevents baby from being underweight at birth
- Helps prevent nausea during pregnancy
- Regulation of healthy blood circulation (along with Hemafit, Spirulina and Omega 3) and prevention of high blood pressure during pregnancy
- Prevention of fatigue and provision of healthy energy during pregnancy
- Help (along with VitD3 and Spirulina) with the overall development of the baby and its biological processes from brain to bone
- Help regulate blood sugar and thus prevent any form of gestational diabetes in the baby
- Prevention of stress before and during delivery as well as postpartum depression
- This mineral helps with blood flow and thus strengthens the uterus
- Magnesium L-Threonate specifically helps with the baby's brain development, which leads to a calmer baby who sleeps better
Step 5: Brain Development
What:
1 BrainMag capsule (Magnesium L-Threonate) daily
Why:
Support neurological development
Benefits:
- Optimal baby brain development
- Can lead to a calmer baby
- Supports cognitive function
Step 6: Milk Production Boost
What:
50g Chocolate or Vanilla Nucleo contains 1g Spirulina. Take an extra 2g Spirulina (4 tablets) daily from 3 to 4 months before birth. Take 6 tablets Spirulina if you don't take the 50g Nucleo daily. Continue with daily dose during breastfeeding for more and healthier milk production.
Why:
Natural support for breastfeeding success
Benefits:
- Remarkably improves milk production
- Provides essential nutrients
- Natural detoxification
- Supports your body during changes before and after birth
Step 7: Iron & Blood Support
What:
1-2 Hemafit iron (20mg) capsules daily
Why:
Most women need more than 20mg iron daily during pregnancy and thus extra iron is needed beyond the iron in Nucleo.
Benefits:
- Healthy blood support for mom and baby
- Prevents pregnancy anemia
- Maintains energy levels
