Higher Nature Mum-2-Be Pregnancy Supplement

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: n/a

...I (like so many others), suffered from morning sickness for nearly the duration of my pregnancy. I had serious back problems, the health of my skin and teeth deteriorated, and other complications that took me out of work at the fifth month stage. I received a little guidance from my doctor, but at times like this you believe you should be curing the problem naturally so as not to detract from the health of the baby you are carrying. So, I turned to homeopathy and herbal remedies. I'm not going to sing the praises of homeopathy, but I would like to write about some of the general information that helped me trough my pregnancy - If you would like to know more, I suggest you contact a sound homeopath (do your research well), who will insist on a personal consultation. *Vitamin and mineral supplements 1 - 3 months (daily): Folic...

...I used these in my last pregnancy and found them quite helpful, although it's difficult to know how I'd have felt without them to make a fair comparison. However, I can state that I felt well while using them, was never tested as anaemic, and the iron content didn't make me constipated, as can easily happen with pregnancy supplements. I only took them in the latter half of my pregnancy as I was too sick to keep anyting down in the first half and so was probably more nin need of supplement than many people. It's also fair to say that if you're eating properly you shouldn't need to supplement, however if you do need to or want to, then making sure they're organic during pregnancy is a must and these are probably the best in that case....

...Dinochews are a chewable vitamin & mineral tablet for children. They are made by the reputable health company, Higher Nature. My children have been taking these since they started school - I thought they needed some extra supplementation once they started mixing a lot with other children and eating the sweets that teachers insist of giving out. I tend to only give them in winter, when their immune systems are under extra stress, or when they are feeling a bit below-par. I was amazed that my children like these tablets. I tried them, they are fruity, really nice. Checking the labels of children's supplements in my local chemist, I was horrified at the ingredients - high in sugar and colourings. Dinochews are different. They contain no sucrose, salt, yeast, wheat, dairy, animal products, artificial preservatives, flavours... Read review
