Vitals Every Day Mama 60 Capsules

Vitals Every Day Mama

Every Day Mama is a carefully designed multivitamin for women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. This is, of course, a special and important period in which the health of the (expectant) mother, and of course the baby, must be optimally supported.

The product is formulated based on the latest scientific insights, aligned with current data regarding the nutritional status in the Netherlands and Belgium, and the optimal intake levels per nutrient. Every Day Mama contains the most important nutrients in the correct proportions and in dosages according to the latest insights. Only highly absorbable compounds have been chosen.

Vitamin A must not be missing in a pregnancy multi
Many pregnant women are warned about the dangers of too much vitamin A. However, the need for vitamin A is higher during pregnancy and certainly during breastfeeding. It is therefore important not to be too cautious with vitamin A intake. Every Day Mama therefore contains not only 3 mg of natural beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), but also 150 mcg of vitamin A as retinol. This is a low and very safe dosage of vitamin A. The body will not convert more of the available beta-carotene into vitamin A than it needs, and this will therefore not lead to excessively high vitamin A levels.

Special form of folic acid
It is well known that folic acid is very important before and during pregnancy. Every Day Mama contains 400 mcg of a superior, biologically active form of folic acid (folate) bound to glucosamine salt (Quatrefolic®).
Folic acid (pteroylmonoglutamic acid), which is usually used in food supplements for stability reasons, is a synthetic form that does not occur naturally. In food, this important B vitamin occurs as folate. Folic acid from supplements must be converted by the body into tetrahydrofolate and then into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).

Generous dosage of vitamin B12: also for pregnant women with a predominantly plant-based diet
Every Day Mama contains a generous dosage of 50 mcg of vitamin B12 in the biologically active forms of methyl- and adenosylcobalamin. Every Day Mama is therefore also suitable for pregnant women who eat vegetarian or vegan. The cheaper, synthetic cyanocobalamin was deliberately not chosen. This form of B12 does not occur naturally in food or in the human body.

Extra high dosage of choline (VitaCholine®)
Choline has been a standard ingredient in multivitamins for many years, but usually in low dosages (10–30 mg). This was primarily due to limited knowledge about the physiological role and the required intake of choline. During pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, choline is extra important. Every Day Mama Capsules therefore contains 110 mg of VitaCholine® per 2 capsules, a high-quality and well-researched form of choline.

Vitamin C, iron, and iodine: even more important during pregnancy
Women generally need more iron than men. During pregnancy, women need even more iron to support the production of cells and tissues. Every Day Mama therefore contains a generous daily dose of 16 mg of iron from stomach-friendly iron bisglycinate (Ferrochel®). This is one of the highly absorbable amino acid chelates from Albion® Minerals. In addition, the formula contains 80 mg of vitamin C and 150 mcg of iodine.

Optimal vitamin D dosage, from plant-based source
Every Day Mama contains a more generous vitamin D dosage than the other Every Day multis due to the extra great importance of an optimal micronutrient status during this special life stage. For Every Day Mama, plant-based vitamin D3 (Vitamin D3V®) is also used. This is produced from algae, and not from sheep's wool fat (like many vitamin D3 products).

Vitamin K1 and K2: related but not interchangeable
Current nutritional guidelines for vitamin K are based on the amount needed for normal blood clotting. This does not consider the optimal intake of vitamin K when it comes to other vitamin K-dependent bodily processes. These guidelines also do not differentiate between vitamin K1 and vitamin K2, although there is increasing scientific attention to this distinction.
Every Day Mama contains, unlike the other Every Day multis, a higher proportion of vitamin K1 than vitamin K2.

K2VITAL™ DELTA: vitamin K2 with optimal stability
Vitamin K2 appears to be a very sensitive substance. Especially in combination with calcium and/or magnesium, the level of this vitamin in a tablet or capsule decreases sharply. The use of vitamin K2 in a product with high dosages of calcium and/or magnesium is technically a real challenge. Vitals therefore uses a K2 ingredient with the brand name K2VITAL™ DELTA, which is even stable in a formula with many of these minerals, as in the Every Day multis.

K2VITAL™ DELTA is manufactured using a patented micro-encapsulation process, where the fat-soluble K2 particles are protected with two layers against interaction with other ingredients. Vitals commissioned an independent laboratory to investigate the stability of K2VITAL™ DELTA, and it came out best in the test compared to other vitamin K2 brands.

Natural calcium and magnesium from the sea
For the Every Day multis, Aquamin® Magnesium from Irish Sea water and Aquamin® Calcium from red algae (Lithothamnion sp) are used. These algae species absorb minerals and trace elements from seawater and store them. When alive, red algae have a beautiful reddish-pink color, but when they die, calcification occurs and the algae turn white or light gray. These calcified algae are harvested from the waters along the coast of Iceland.

The percentage of calcium (32%) and magnesium (35%) in Aquamin® is relatively high compared to other calcium and magnesium compounds. This makes it possible to achieve meaningful dosages of calcium and magnesium in a tablet or capsule that is densely packed with active ingredients (such as a multivitamin).

Lutein
Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid.
The body cannot produce lutein itself but must obtain it from food. It is found in green leafy vegetables, and red, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetables, among others.
