Ancient Multi - Prenatal Supports Prenatal Health Fertility Sleep And Energy Levels For Healthy

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that comes from two sources: preformed retinoids and provitamin A carotenoids. These retinoids are found in animal sources such as eggs, liver and dairy products like whole milk, while provitamin A carotenoids come from colorful plant foods like fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene typically leads the pack in most efficiently making retinol, a pre-formed, active form of vitamin A.

Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, this essential vitamin is known for its powerful antioxidant properties and for its general benefits for supporting a healthy response to stress.†

Vitamin D plays a role in up to 2,000 genes and in every single tissue and cell of the body, yet 75 percent of American teens and adults don’t get enough. The immune-supporting vitamin D3 in this formulation is your body’s preferred form compared to vitamin D2.

A fat-soluble vitamin with many important processes in the body, this bioavailable, natural vitamin E also functions as an antioxidant.

Vitamin K belongs to compounds called nanphthoquinones and that includes vitamins K1, K2 and K3. Overall, vitamin K plays a strong role in bones and normal bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 also generally functions to ensure calcium gets to the right places in the body, such as the bones and teeth and not in the arteries or brain.

Generally speaking, vitamin K2 also functions to activate at least three proteins in osteoblasts, the cells that generate bone, while inhibiting the breaking down of bone. Vitamin K2 occurs in several forms, but two primary types are menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-7 is a preferred form of vitamin K2, and the vitamin K2 in MK-7 form in Ancient Multi Immune Support Formula is soy-free.

B vitamins serve as essential helpers in the conversion of food to energy. And while they do not directly provide that energy, they do assist the process. In fact, the vitamin B complex includes eight water-soluble vitamins: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B-12, biotin and pantothenic acid.

This well-rounded vitamin B complex offers individual health benefits but work together in several ways. B vitamins are also water-soluble, so they need to be replenished often (if not every day) through diet and/or supplementation. The vitamin B-12 in Ancient Multi Men’s is in the preferred methylcobalamin form, the form that’s typically the easiest for the body to use.

An organic source of calcium derived from organic, U.S.-produced eggshells, this form of calcium is body-friendly.

Traditionally a blood-building mineral, iron used in supplements sometimes tends to trigger digestive distress. Luckily, this formula utilizes iron that’s gentle on the digestive tract.

Our iodine is derived from an enzymatic process which bonds amino acids to minerals: chelation. Chelated minerals, such as our iodine, generally have easier absorption rates.

One of the most crucial minerals, magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical functions in the body, such as regulating heartbeat rhythms and helping neurotransmitter functions.

An essential mineral that’s second only to iron in its concentration in the body, zinc is often referred to as the “intelligence mineral.” Functionally, the liver also needs zinc in sufficient amounts so it can mobilize and release stored vitamin A into the bloodstream.

An essential mineral to support thyroid health†, selenium can also play a role in generally supporting men’s overall health.

As an essential nutrient that’s usually tied to iron and other minerals, manganese plays a role in numerous chemical processes, including synthesis of nutrients like cholesterol, carbohydrates and proteins.

A hard and brittle metal, chromium is a trace mineral needed by the body.

Considered a warming wellness spice treasured by pregnant women, ginger extract is packed with antioxidants and therapeutic compounds like gingerol, shogaol, paradol and zingerone.

Considered one of the longest-existing spices in human history, cinnamon bark features cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and linalool.

An ancient nutritional powerhouse, liver is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Containing vitamins A, D, B12, B2, B3, B5, B6, omega-3s, iron, folate, zinc and more, this liver from grass-fed New Zealand cattle is amazing.

Our ancestors simmered bones, marrow, feet, skin, tendons and ligaments for days to create bone broth containing collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine. Our chicken bone broth comes from U.S. sources we trust, while our beef bone broth is derived from Europe.

One of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, fish eggs are high in phospholipids. Fish eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. The Omega 3s are often higher in roe than the fish itself. Our wild hake roe is sourced in New Zealand and is Marine Stewardship Council Certified.

The Traditional Chinese Method (TCM) is a system of wellness that dates back more than 2,000 years and is still practiced today. It works on the belief that Qi (which loosely translates to “vital energy” and is pronounced “chee”) is essential for overall health. TCM principles adhere to the idea that proper Qi is needed to keep all systems in balance.

This ties into the concepts of yin and yang, defined as opposing but complementary energies. According to TCM, like Qi, yin and yang negatively affect your health when they’re out of balance. That being said, a primary goal of TCM involves balancing their equalizing relationship.

One of the ways to do that involves using specific superfoods and herbs. TCM superfoods and superherbs aim to tonify, or increase the available energy of an organ part or system of the body. TCM aims to create balance in the body as a whole to promote wellness and Qi. When the yin and yang aspects of Qi are harmonized and balanced out, a person typically experiences wellbeing.

Both TCM and Ayurveda approach the body in a balancing way. They both address energy flow, circulation and balance in the body. For instance, that energy is referred to as “Qi” in TCM and “prana” in Ayurveda.

While there is overlap in some of the botanicals used in both TCM and Ayurveda, each tradition also utilizes specific plants and foods. Ayurveda was born out of India, so often recommends traditional herbs and foods widely available in that region. TCM often focuses on botanicals and fungi more readily available in China. While TCM may utilize more animal products, Ayurveda does tend to recommend more dairy, like ghee, compared to TCM.

In essence, TCM and Ayurveda are different ways to approach wellness and balance from different regions of the world.

This product is for women of childbearing age and is considered a “Mom-to-Be and Baby Formula.” With a patented form of methylated folate, Ancient Multi Prenatal Formula is specially formulated for this special time of life — for women prior to conception, during pregnancy and post-pregnancy while lactating to promote prenatal health while supporting energy and nutrition for Mom.

Consider the amazing process of how the brain develops.

At conception, 60 percent of genetic energy is dedicated to developing the brain of the growing child, and it only takes off from there. Three to four weeks after conception, neuronal proliferation is at its zenith — 250,000 neurons per minute — a frenzy that results in a whopping 100 billion brain neurons total at the time of birth.

These neurons become neatly organized into about 40 differentiated areas that govern language, vision and muscle movement. They’re still immature, largely inactivated and weakly connected to one another, but that soon changes. Almost immediately following birth, the newborn’s brain forms trillions of connections between neurons, which enable the baby to see, hear, smell, learn and reason while inaugurating learning and memory.

Brain development continues long after birth, and parts of some neurons continue to grow well into old age, but research indicates that there are specific “windows of opportunity” for brain development. These include 0 to 2 years for emotional development, 0 to 4 years for logic and math, 0 to 10 years for language and 3 to 10 years for music.

Did you know the brain seems to favor certain nutrients? Even when in utero, the brain requires proper nourishment. When the embryo is developing its neural tube, the foundation for the brain, skull and spine, folate is a must.

Additionally, folate is necessary for making DNA and RNA, the building blocks of cells, including the brain’s cells. B vitamins, including B12, are also crucial.

That’s why it’s important to take a quality prenatal multivitamin like Ancient Multi Prenatal Formula, which has a patented form of methylated folate, fermented and co-enzymated B vitamins plus much more.

This product is specifically developed for women of childbearing age, while Women’s Fermented Multi isn’t considered a prenatal vitamin.

Ancient Men’s Multi Prenatal is formulated to specifically target the needs of women of childbearing age, women who are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant and women who are nursing, while our other products are not specifically focused on this special time of life.

Yes, you can take it with other supplements. As with any supplements containing iron, please be aware that be aware that accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children.
