Pregnancy & Preventing Gestational Diabetes

The micro-nutrients in Inofolic Alpha reduce the risk of developing diabetes in pregnancy.

PCOS sufferers who become pregnant are at an increased risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia) and may possibly have an abnormally large baby. The micro-nutrients in Inofolic Alpha reduces the incidence of high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia) in pregnancy and has also been shown to reduce the overall maternal weight gain throughout the pregnancy.

Inofolic Alpha can be safely taken throughout pregnancy.

Folic Acid is a B-group water-soluble vitamin. It is associated with the synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins and with the processes of cell division and chromosome repair. It helps the normal expansion of maternal tissues during pregnancy and helps prevent the increase in intrafollicular homocysteine, caused by a deficiency of folic acid, which results in the deterioration of oocyte (egg) quality. Scientific studies have also shown that a reduced intake of folic acid is often related to foetal growth defects and to the development of neural tube defects.

The folic acid present in Inofolic Alpha at the recommended dose of 2 sachets per day, meets the requirements for pregnant women and helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the baby.
