During pregnancy, your requirement for certain nutrients increases dramatically. In fact, a mother's diet and nutritional status play an important role in helping to ensure her baby's healthy development.
One of the key nutrients, Folate is among the most important nutrients you need during your pregnancy.
What do pregnant women need to know about Folate?
Folate is a B vitamin. A diet adequate in Folate before and during early pregnancy has been shown to help in the normal growth and development of babies.
Good food sources of Folate include leafy green vegetables, legumes, fresh fruits and Folate fortified foods.
Although Folate can be obtained from the diet, it can be difficult for pregnant women to meet their additional requirement this way as 80% of Folate is lost during cooking. Folate fortified food is therefore highly recommended. Anmum Materna milk powder is specially formulated for women planning pregnancy and pregnant women. Anmum Materna is rich in Folate.
How much Folate do you need during pregnancy?
According to the US Dietary Recommendation:
Pregnant women require 50% more Folate than normal women (a total of 600ug DFE Folate per day).
2 glasses (200ml each) of Anmum Materna milk provide you with your daily Folate requirement during pregnancy.
