Life Extension Prenatal Advantage Vs Popular Prenatal Supplement

As I’ve mentioned on my last blog post, a prenatal supplement for women who are trying to conceive, already pregnant or women who are breastfeeding is such an important step in your mommy journey!

The reason I decided to opt for Life Extension Europe Prenatal Advantage supplement, is because the formula is backed by science and includes the most bioavailable forms of nutrients, which are both safe and effective.

As there are many prenatal supplements on the market, I have decided to compare Life Extension Europe Prenatal Advantage with another popular brand which can be found everywhere from pharmacies to supermarkets.

The most important and highly recommended vitamins for a healthy pregnancy include:

  • Iron: Iron is incredibly important for healthy red blood cells, for both you and your baby. Low iron can also lead to to anaemia and extreme fatigue.
  • Folate (Folic Acid): Folic acid supports correct spinal formulation and prevents neurological birth defects.
  • Calcium & Vitamin D: Vitamin D and Calcium are essential for the skeletal system and preventing bone related disorders such as rickets.
  • Vitamin C: Vitamin C supports immunity and healthy cells
  • DHA: DHA or omega 3 fatty acids are essential for feral development of the brain and retina.
  • Iodine: Iodine is another essential for brain development, healthy birth weight and thyroid function.

The following vitamins and mineral amounts can be found in Life Extension Europe Prenatal Advantage:

  • Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid, calcium and niacinamide ascorbates) 120 mg
  • Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol ) (1,000 IU) 25 mcg
  • Folate (as folic acid, Metafolin® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt) 600 mcg
  • Iron (as ferrous fumarate) 27 mg
  • Iodine (as potassium iodide) 290 mcg
  • Choline (as choline bitartrate) 275 mg
  • DHA (from algae oil Schizochytrium sp.) 200 mg

The following vitamins and mineral amounts can be found in another popular prenatal brand that is readily available in pharmacies nationwide:

  • Vitamin C 70 mg
  • Vitamin D 10 ug
  • Folic Acid 400 ug
  • Iron 17 mg
  • Iodine 140 ug

As you can see, Life Extension Europe Prenatal Advantage has significantly higher levels of these vitamins and minerals and not only are these vitamins and minerals present in higher amounts, they are bioavailable which means it is circulated more accurately to be absorbed and used by the body.

Both brands include many other vitamins in their prenatal supplements but as these specific ones are the most important, I feel it should be highlighted that the cheapest, more widely available brands lack in this department.

The other brand also uses many synthetic fillers to formulate capsules, where as Life Extension Europe’s Prenatal Advantage comes in the form of soft gel capsules, which are quickly absorbed and contain zero bulking agents.

I feel this is important to highlight as mothers to be, we all want the best possible nutrition for ourselves and our baby 🤰🏼

Life Extension Europe Prenatal Advantage supplements are priced at €25.77 for 120 soft gel capsules and it’s recommended you take 4 every day with meals so each bottle will last you approx 1 month.
