EPA DHA are essential fatty acids that the human body cannot produce on its own, so they must be obtained from the diet. In pregnant women, they are essential for the neurological development of the fetus. However, according to studies, they may also be important for the correct timing of pregnancy and the appropriate birth weight of the baby.

The source of DHA and EPA for our products is algae oil. Seaweed is considered the primary source of omega-3. Global fish stocks are declining and cannot be a sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids. Algae grow very quickly and do not contribute to overfishing, making them a more sustainable source of omega-3 than fish oil, which also carries the risk of chemical contaminants (e.g. mercury) that can be harmful to consumers (source)

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 thus has an effective form of the vitamin available. The form and amount of folic acid contained in Verra complex fully ensure sufficient intake for the woman and the fetus throughout the entire pregnancy.

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

Myo-inositol plays a physiological role in gametogenesis and embryonic development. In humans, it has an effect on the success of assisted reproduction. Its effect has been studied many times for its involvement in metabolic syndrome and in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS is one of the most common female endocrine disorders, which is associated with insulin resistance).

The results of recent studies strongly suggest that inositol supplementation may be associated with successful treatment of PCOS patients undergoing assisted reproduction.

Avocado oil contains monounsaturated fats and fat-soluble antioxidants, which are associated with improved maternal health, birth outcomes, and increased breast milk quality.

Some phytochemicals contained in the oil are associated with the prevention of cancer, age-related macular degeneration, or cardiovascular disease.

Iron is a mineral whose levels are often lower than optimal in women, especially pregnant women. Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin and the normal transport of oxygen in the body.

Vitamin B12 is normally found only in foods of animal origin. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Last but not least, it participates in the process of cell division, which occurs to an increased extent during pregnancy.

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron, contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also affects the functioning of the nervous system and energy metabolism. It is an excellent antioxidant and thus contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Zinc has a wide range of functions in the human body. It affects the metabolism of many nutrients, participates in the process of cell division, contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, and also to the normal function of the immune system. Among other things, it also supports hair health.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. It participates in the process of cell division and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. It affects calcium metabolism and its intake is important for normal calcium absorption into the bones.

Vitamin D exists in two forms – as ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Both forms are naturally found in food and both effectively increase vitamin D levels in the blood. However, new studies show that vitamin D3 works even more effectively in the human body. This form of the vitamin is produced in the skin by the action of UV radiation from the sun. Vitamin D2 cannot be produced by the body, so we must obtain it from food. The ideal vitamin D supplementation is therefore the intake of both forms D2 and D3, which you will find in the new ingredients of our product.

Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant and thus contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Manganese protects cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the normal formation of connective tissues.

Iodine is important for the body, especially for the function of the thyroid gland, but it is also used in the activity and development of the nervous system.

Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system. According to a study, lower levels of selenium and zinc increase the time it takes for a woman to become pregnant.

The complex also contains magnesium in an amount of 15 mg. We do not list it in the composition table for legislative reasons - this is an amount lower than 15% of the RDA.

The complex also contains calcium in an amount of 10 mg. We do not list it in the composition table for legislative reasons - this is an amount lower than 15% of the RDA.
