MULTIVITAMIN/MINERAL: Pregnancy increases the need for almost all of the
essential nutrients. Ultra Natal provides bioavailable vitamins and minerals to
create a healthy and nutritious environment for fetal development. The nutrient
combination provided in Ultra Natal is specifically formulated to meet the needs
of expecting mothers, making it an excellent choice for women who are pregnant,
nursing, or trying to conceive.

FOLATE is a crucial component of a healthy pregnancy. Folate deficiency can
cause devastating birth defects in the newborn. Ultra Natal provides more than
100% of the daily recommended dose of folate to support healthy fetal neural
tube development.

IRON is a component of red blood cells and is vital to their oxygen-carrying
capabilities. Blood production increases dramatically during pregnancy.
Therefore, iron depletion may occur. Ultra Natal provides 19mg of iron glycinate
to support healthy oxygen delivery and assist in the prevention of anemias. Iron
glycinate has been shown to minimize feelings of slowed gastrointestinal motility
that are often experienced with iron supplements.

VITAMIN D deficiency is common among women of childbearing age in the United States. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant mothers may increase their offspring?s chance of abnormal immune conditions and bone density disorders later in life.

CHROMIUM is necessary for the production of glucose tolerance factor, an
endogenous compound that works closely with insulin in facilitating the uptake of
glucose into body cells. Supplementing patients with additional chromium has
been shown to improve insulin metabolism and may prevent gestational blood
sugar disorders.

SMALLER CAPSULES support increased patient compliance. Recent research has shown that large, one-a-day prenatal vitamins are more likely to induce feelings
of nausea in pregnant mothers. Inability to tolerate these large capsules often
results in low compliance among women who experience morning sickness
during pregnancy. Ultra Natal?s unique, three capsule per day dosage ensures
that those patients who are experiencing pregnancy-induced nausea and
vomiting will still receive the supplemental benefits of the prenatal formula.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are essential for effective nutrient digestion and absorption.Supplementation with digestive enzymes has also been shown to reduce feelings of nausea and stomach discomfort. Ultra Natal provides a gentle, vegetarian
enzyme blend to support nutrient absorption and comfort.

GINGER (Zingiber officinalis) has long been recognized for its powerful anti-nausea properties. Numerous studies have shown that supplementing pregnant mothers with ginger extract is a safe and effective way to reduce nausea and emesis.
Ginger also encourages the secretion of digestive enzymes for additional nausea
reduction and digestive support.

WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six.
