Verra Postpartum Complex

Choline is an essential nutrient for the proper function of the liver, muscles, brain, lipid metabolism and the composition of cell membranes. Since the human body can only produce small amounts of choline, it must be consumed through food.

Pregnancy and lactation are periods when the need for choline is particularly high. A large amount is supplied to the fetus via the placenta. Plasma or serum concentrations of choline are significantly higher in pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women. However, after delivery, the need for choline is even higher because breast milk contains relatively high amounts of it.

Outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding, for example, plasma homocysteine ​​levels increase when choline supplies are inadequate. Elevated homocysteine ​​levels are associated with a higher risk of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, cognitive decline, and fractures. Choline intake is associated with lower homocysteine ​​levels.

Choline is found in many foods (liver, eggs), yet a large portion of the adult population is deficient in it.

Asparagus racemosus
Asparagus increases the production of prolactin, the hormone responsible for breast milk production.

Myo-inositol, as a natural component of breast milk, supports infant brain development and has a positive effect on metabolism.

Trigonella foenum
Fenugreek is one of the well-known galactagogues (substances that support breast milk production).

Calcium should be present in the mother's diet during pregnancy and after birth in sufficient quantities to protect her bones, which are prone to thinning during this period. It is also essential for the proper development of the infant's skeleton.

Vitamin B1(thiamine hydrochloride) contributes to the normal function of the nervous system
Vitamin B2(riboflavin) helps protect cells from oxidative stress
Vitamin B6(pyridoxine hydrochloride) is important for the formation of red blood cells
Vitamin B12(methylcobalamin) plays a role in the process of cell division
Biotin(vitamin B7) contributes to maintaining normal hair condition
Folic acid(L-methylfolate calcium) is crucial for DNA formation

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group. It is a substance that is essential for the formation of nucleic acids, in hematopoiesis and has an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of the fetus. It plays a role in the process of cell division, supplying tissues with nutrients and oxygen and maintaining healthy blood vessels of the mother and fetus. According to studies, sufficient active form of folic acid in the body during pregnancy can prevent spinal cord defects, insufficient nutrition and development of the fetus or improper blood supply to the placenta.

Folic acid must be converted into an active form after entering the body, which is ensured by the MTHFR enzyme. Women who suffer from a gene mutation for this enzyme may have problems conceiving or carrying a baby to term. In our products, folic acid is contained in an already active methylated form, which means that it does not have to be activated after entering the body and the woman has an effective form of the vitamin available.

The form and amount of folic acid contained in Verra Fertility & Pregnancy Complex fully ensures sufficient intake for both the woman and the fetus throughout pregnancy.

Vitamin A contributes to maintaining normal vision, the immune system and skin.

Vitamin E supplementation ensures an increased supply of α-tocopherol through breast milk, which contributes to the motor and mental development of the newborn and also strengthens the defense against oxidative stress.

Vitamin B12 is normally found only in foods of animal origin. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant, contributes to maintaining normal energy metabolism, the nervous system, the immune system and reduces fatigue and exhaustion.

Iron supplementation after childbirth plays a crucial role in preventing the development of anemia and reducing maternal fatigue. Optimal iron levels help with proper milk production.

Vitamin D is essential for overall health — it supports normal immune system and muscle function. In postpartum women, studies show that vitamin D intake helps reduce fatigue and tendencies toward depression.

Zinc contributes to postpartum regeneration, proper growth of the child and the functioning of metabolism. It helps the normal function of the immune system and supports hair quality.

L-cysteine ​​base

Together with biotin and B complex, it contributes to maintaining the normal condition of hair, the quality of which worries most women after childbirth. Since, unlike methionine, it does not enter breast milk, it is considered safe during breastfeeding.

L-tyrosine

Tyrosine is an amino acid that contributes to the normal synthesis of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter (a molecule that transmits nerve impulses in the brain). Dopamine has a fundamental influence on an individual's mental state and motor activity.

Iodine plays an important role in metabolism and is important in the early development and growth of the nervous system and other organs of the child.

Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
