PRECIOUS ONE VITAMIN CONTENTS Now with IODINE! Iodine (amino acid chelate) 150mcg (100% DV) Selenium (amino acid chelate) 25 mg (36% DV) WHAT IS IN A PRECIOUS ONE PRENATAL VITAMIN? To ensure our Precious One prenatal vitamins have what is needed for your clients and their babies, Heritage House took the recommendations of doctors, nutrition- ists, and health experts to come up with the right balance. We then packaged these great contents into an easy to swallow pill that is packaged either in bottles of 60 tablets or give-away packets of 14 tablets per pack. These options, plus our quality ingredients, give you all you need to help your clients have a healthy preg- nancy and a healthy baby. WHY DO THEY NEED IODINE, FOLIC ACID, IRON, CALCIUM AND DHA? Two recent studies have concluded an iodine deficiency in women during preg- nancy can have a negative effect on a child’s brain. Because of this, we have add- ed 150 mcg (100% of Daily Value) to our Precious One vitamins. We’ve added 800 mcg of folic acid, too, because folic acid can reduce the risk of a baby with birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. The Department of Health recommends 400 micrograms of folic acid each day while you are trying to conceive, and for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. It is important that a mother start taking prenatal vitamins as soon as she suspects she is pregnant. Calcium during pregnancy can prevent a new mother from losing her own bone density, as the fetus uses the minerals for bone growth. Iron helps both the mother ‘s and her baby’s blood car- ry oxygen. Current research shows a possible connection between a baby’s cog- nitive development and the levels of DHA that the mother digests. This includes higher scores on intelligence tests, better attention spans, and higher IQs. Daily vitamins are no substitute for a healthy diet, but most women need supplements to ensure they get adequate levels of important minerals. Packaged Vitamins - ItemNumber: ZL6110 .

I appreciate having these to give to women who have just found out they are pregnant and want to start taking care of themselves and their baby.” jjjjj Molly “These vitamins are wonderful and show our clients we truly care for them and their baby! I had a client cry when I gave her a pack of these vitamins. She gave me a hug and a few days later called to say she would have her baby.” jjjjj Sharon PREGNANCY TESTS & VITAMINS — 98
