Vitals Every Day Mama

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

The product is formulated based on the most recent scientific insights, tailored to current data regarding nutritional status in the Netherlands and Belgium and the optimal intake amounts per nutrient. Every Day Mama contains the most important nutrients in the right ratio and in dosages according to the latest insights. Only well-absorbed compounds have been chosen.

Vitamin A should not be missing in a pregnancy multivitamin
Many pregnant women are warned about the dangers of too much vitamin A. However, the need for vitamin A is higher during pregnancy and especially during breastfeeding. Therefore, it is important not to be too cautious with vitamin A intake. Every Day Mama contains, in addition to 3 mg of natural beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), 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, so this will not lead to an excessive vitamin A level.

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 dietary supplements for stability, is a synthetic form that does not occur naturally. In food, this important B-vitamin is found 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 also suitable for pregnant women who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. The cheaper, synthetic cyanocobalamin was deliberately not chosen, as this form of B12 does not naturally occur 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 doses (10–30 mg). This was mainly due to limited knowledge about the physiological role and required intake of choline. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, choline is especially important. Every Day Mama Capsules therefore contain 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 the stomach-friendly iron bisglycinate (Ferrochel®). This is one of the highly absorbable amino acid chelates from Albion® Minerals. Additionally, the formula contains 80 mg of vitamin C and 150 mcg of iodine.

Optimal vitamin D dosage from a plant source
Every Day Mama contains a higher dose of vitamin D than the other Every Day multis due to the extra importance of an optimal status of micronutrients during this special life stage. For Every Day Mama, plant-based vitamin D3 (Vitamin D3V®) is also used. This is produced from algae, not from sheep wool fat (as is the case with many vitamin D3 products).

Vitamin K1 and K2: related but not interchangeable
The current dietary guidelines for vitamin K are based on the amount needed for normal blood clotting. These guidelines do not consider the optimal intake of vitamin K regarding other vitamin K-dependent bodily processes. Furthermore, these guidelines do not distinguish between vitamin K1 and vitamin K2, while there is increasing attention to this within the scientific community.
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 is known to be a very sensitive substance. Especially in combination with calcium and/or magnesium, the content of this vitamin in a tablet or capsule decreases significantly. The use of vitamin K2 in a product with high doses of calcium and/or magnesium is technically a real challenge. Therefore, Vitals uses a K2 ingredient with the brand name K2VITAL™ DELTA, which is even stable in a formula with a lot of these minerals, such as in the Every Day multis.

K2VITAL™ DELTA is produced using a patented micro-encapsulation process, where the fat-soluble K2 particles are protected with two layers against interaction with other ingredients. Vitals has conducted research in an independent laboratory on the stability of K2VITAL™ DELTA, and it came out on top compared to other vitamin K2 brands.

Natural calcium and magnesium from the sea
For the Elke Dag multis, Aquamin® Magnesium from Irish sea water and Aquamin® Calcium from red algae (Lithothamnion sp) are used. These types of algae 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 very rich in active substances (such as a multivitamin).

Lutein
Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid.
The body cannot produce lutein on its own and must obtain it from food. It is found in green leafy vegetables, as well as red, yellow, and orange vegetables and fruits.
