Founder and General Manager of Pregnancy.org, LLC, Mollee Bauer, said "Our community boards are always buzzing about how pregnant moms struggle with diet, exercise and taking their daily pregnancy or prenatal vitamin and much of it can be attributed to feeling nauseas. In response we have created the first ever prenatal vitamin with a 100% anti-nausea GUARANTEE and an online nutrition clinic."
Many women don't realize that their vitamins may be making them feel unwell, adding to typical morning sickness symptoms. Typically, prenatal vitamins include iron, an essential nutrient during pregnancy, but when taken with other vitamins and minerals it can be hard to absorb and cause an upset stomach. The new anti-nausea formula allows moms to take a separate, highly absorbent iron + Vitamin C capsule and a prenatal multivitamin with B12, which has been shown to reduce symptoms associated with morning sickness.
The company enlisted the help of Beverly Hills Registered Dietitian, Deborah Klein, to develop the new anti-nausea vitamin. "In the last fifteen years of practice I've worked with thousands of moms-to be and as a mom myself I know the importance of getting enough nutrients and choosing the right prenatal supplement. Our aim was to create a pre-natal vitamin with everything a mom and baby needs that could help alleviate nausea not create it. If mom's try any of the products and it doesn't help we offer a 100% anti-nausea money back guarantee!!"
The new range of prenatal and pregnancy vitamins are exclusively available through Pregnancy.org (click on vitamins @Pregnancy.org Vitamin Clinic. The clinic also provides information on how to eat right during pregnancy and online consultations with Registered Dietitians.
Bauer and her team at pregnancy.org believe the online nutrition clinic will make it easier for moms to get good advice from nutrition experts and to find a prenatal/pregnancy vitamin that can alleviate nausea that can be experienced during pregnancy.
"Vitaganic's revolutionary manufacturing process has allowed us to develop a wonderful prenatal vitamin for every mom-to-be. We not only have a different formula for each stage of pregnancy, which is very important, Moms and their physicians can also customize every product to meet their exact individual nutritional needs - they can even create their own labels. We haven't re-invented prenatal supplements, we've just made them better!" said Klein.
