Femibion Pregnancy 3

For the special needs of you and your baby when breastfeeding*

.

 

A varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle are also very important after your pregnancy and birth to regain your strength and meet the new challenges, especially if you decide to breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding helps you build a close bond with your baby and also provides him or her with essential nutrients.

When you breastfeed, your body produces about 300-500 ml of breast milk a day in the first week. Depending on what your baby needs, this can increase to 600-700 ml of breast milk per day.

How much milk your body produces, its composition and nutrient content are also influenced by your lifestyle and diet. Breastfeeding your baby also increases your energy requirements and the need for some micronutrients.

Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding provides you with selected nutrients that can support you during this special time as a supplement to a balanced, varied diet. It contains folate, vitamin D and A, iron, calcium, choline, lutein and other nutrients (iodine, selenium, zinc, vitamin C, B and E). Iron helps to reduce fatigue. Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function. Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding contains the omega-3 fatty acid DHA and lutein in a separate capsule. Lutein gives the capsule its characteristic red colour. Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding is lactose- and gluten-free, and contains no bovine or porcine gelatine.

Application

Take 1 tablet & 1 capsule per day with sufficient cold liquid at one of the meals. Do not exceed recommended daily intake. Due to the vitamin A it contains, this product should not be taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you become pregnant while breastfeeding, we recommend switching to Femibion® 1, which was specially developed for early pregnancy. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle.

Note

 Femibion® 3 Breastfeeding is lactose- and gluten-free, and contains no bovine or porcine gelatine.
