Folic acid is the precursor of folate, which is active in the body. Folate is a B vitamin (B9), which is particularly important for cell division and the growth of uterine tissue. Therefore, an adequate supply of folate is essential at least four weeks before conception. Only some women, however, can sufficiently convert folic acid into folate, which the body can effectively use.

Therefore, both amitamin® fertil F phase 1 and amitamin® fertil F phase 2 contain folic acid and activated folate (Quatrefolic®). This activated folate is immediately bioavailable to the body. A good supply of folate for all users is therefore assured.

Based on generally accepted recommendations for the supply of micronutrients during pregnancy, you should switch from amitamin® fertil F phase 1 to amitamin® fertil F phase 2 towards the end of the first trimester between week eight and week twelve.

Pregnancy is a special stage in a woman's life. The time from the fertilised egg's cell first cell division until the end of breastfeeding is characterised by particularly high nutritional demands. As a result, pregnant women have a significantly increased need for many vitamins and trace elements.

Generally, however, the calorie requirement during pregnancy is only about 15% higher than usual. This is because an increased supply of vitamins, minerals and trace elements mainly characterises a healthy diet during pregnancy. Food supplements can help in this particular time to eliminate any nutritional deficits and to meet special dietary needs during this time.

Please take one capsule a day, before or together with a meal. Please take the capsule with half a glass of water, juice or tea. amitamin® fertil F phase 1 is generally very well tolerated. Please be sure to take the capsule before or during a meal.

It would help if you began taking amitamin® fertil F phase 1 regularly as soon as you stop with contraception. However, starting at least four weeks before it's possible to conceive is recommended.

The product is suitable for long-term use and can be taken throughout pregnancy and lactation. Taking a dietary supplement with folic acid is generally recommended before pregnancy and until the end of breastfeeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants are breastfed until the end of the 6th month. Anyway, to benefit from the health effects that omega-3 fatty acids have, we recommend switching to amitamin fertil F phase 2 during the third month of pregnancy.

Amitamin® fertil F phase 1 contains iodine. If you suffer from hyperthyroidism, please discuss your plans with your physician. The daily intake recommendation must not be exceeded. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of small children.

Store dry and protected from light at room temperature (5 to 25 degrees Celsius).
