  • Baby’s brain, bone, and organ development

  • Mama’s energy, mood, and immune system

  • Healthy pregnancy progression from conception to postpartum

 

 

 DHEA

Sometimes used under guidance to help support healthy hormone balance, DHEA may assist with:

 

  • Fertility support before pregnancy

  • Hormonal resilience during early pregnancy

  • Overall energy and well-being

    (Always take only if recommended by your provider, as it is not for everyone.)

 

 

 Iron

Iron is essential for:

 

  • Building healthy red blood cells for you and baby

  • Preventing anemia-related fatigue

  • Supporting oxygen delivery to your growing baby

 

 

Some mamas get enough from food, but many benefit from a gentle, highly absorbable supplement—especially in the second and third trimesters.

Collagen Beef/Plant

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body—it’s like the “scaffolding” that holds everything together. During pregnancy, your body’s collagen needs rise as you grow a baby, prepare for birth, and recover postpartum.

 

Why Collagen Helps in Pregnancy:

 

  •  Supports skin elasticity — may help reduce or soften stretch marks as your belly grows.

  •  Strengthens bones, joints, and ligaments — important as your body carries extra weight and relaxin loosens your joints.

  •  Builds muscle & connective tissue — supports your pelvic floor and core strength.

  •  Aids in tissue repair — helpful for recovery after birth (whether vaginal or cesarean).

  •  Supports baby’s development — provides amino acids for your baby’s bones, cartilage, skin, and organs.

 

Collagen can be found in slow-cooked bone broth, meats with connective tissue, fish skin, and high-quality collagen powders. Many mamas add it to tea, smoothies, or oatmeal for an easy boost.

 

 A simple daily scoop can help your body stay strong, flexible, and ready for the beautiful work of birth and postpartum healing.

NAC

NAC in Pregnancy — A Gentle Support for Mama & Baby 

 

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a powerful antioxidant and amino acid that supports your body in unique ways during pregnancy. It works by boosting your natural levels of glutathione—your body’s “master antioxidant”—which helps protect cells from damage and supports healthy function.

 

Potential Benefits of NAC in Pregnancy:

 

  •  Supports immune health — helping protect both you and your growing baby.

  •  Reduces oxidative stress — which can lower the risk of certain complications.

  •  Supports healthy blood sugar and blood pressure — important for preventing issues like gestational diabetes or preeclampsia.

  •  May support baby’s brain development through better cellular protection and nutrient delivery.

  •  Helps with mucus clearance — can be useful for respiratory health during pregnancy.

 

 

NAC has been studied for its role in reducing the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss in women with certain conditions (like PCOS) and for supporting overall maternal wellness. While generally considered safe under provider guidance, it’s always best to talk with your midwife or healthcare provider before starting NAC to ensure it’s right for you.

 

 

Vitamin D 1k ,5k ,10k

Vitamin D in Pregnancy — God’s Design for Protection & Support

 

Vitamin D is more than a “bone vitamin.” In God’s beautiful design for pregnancy, it plays a powerful role in protecting early life and supporting both mother and baby every step of the way.

 

Adequate Vitamin D levels have been linked to a lower risk of miscarriage and a healthier pregnancy overall. This nutrient works in amazing ways:

 

  •  Protects early pregnancy – supports implantation and healthy placenta growth.

  •  Strengthens your immune system – helping your body guard both you and your baby.

  •  Balances hormones – vital for sustaining a healthy pregnancy.

  •  Reduces inflammation – lowering risks for complications.

  •  Builds your baby’s bones, brain, and immune system – preparing them for a strong start in life.

 

 

 While sunlight is the best natural source, many mamas—especially in northern climates or during winter—benefit from supplements. A simple blood test with your midwife or healthcare provider can guide you to the right dose.

 

 Each small step, like caring for your Vitamin D levels, is one more way you are partnering with God’s perfect plan for nurturing and protecting the miracle within you.

Magnesium or Epsom Salts

Soaking in a warm bath with Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) can be a safe and soothing way to support your body during pregnancy. The magnesium is absorbed through the skin, helping to relax muscles, ease leg cramps, and reduce swelling in the feet and ankles. It can also promote better sleep, calm the nervous system, and support healthy blood pressure. A gentle soak may help relieve aches in the back and hips while giving you a peaceful moment to rest and breathe. Always keep the water warm—not hot—and check with your midwife or provider before starting regular soaks to ensure it’s right for your unique pregnancy.

Trace Minerals Mag,Zinc,VitD

Trace Minerals

These are tiny but mighty nutrients—like zinc, copper, selenium, and iodine—that support:

 

  • Healthy thyroid function (important for baby’s brain development)

  • Strong immune system for both mama and baby

  • Balanced fluids and electrolytes to reduce swelling

  • Healthy tissue growth and repair

 

 

 Magnesium

Magnesium is a powerhouse mineral that can:

 

  • Relax muscles and ease leg cramps

  • Support healthy blood pressure

  • Calm the nervous system to reduce stress and anxiety

  • Help with better sleep

  • Support regular bowel movements (goodbye, pregnancy constipation!)

  • Play a role in preventing preterm labor by relaxing the uterus

 

 

Many women are low in these minerals—especially magnesium—because modern diets and depleted soils don’t provide enough. Adding a high-quality supplement, mineral drops in water, or magnesium-rich foods (like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains) can make a big difference.

 

 Caring for your mineral balance is one more way to nurture your health and give your baby the best start possible. Always check with your midwife or provider for the right form and amount for you.

B Complex 6,12 or Stress B

B Vitamins — Energy & Vitality for Mama and Baby 

 

B vitamins are a family of essential nutrients that work together to keep both you and your baby healthy during pregnancy. 

Why B Vitamins Matter in Pregnancy:

 

  •  Folate (B9) — supports baby’s brain and spinal cord development and helps prevent neural tube defects.

  •  B12 — works with folate to form healthy red blood cells and support nerve health.

  •  B6 — may reduce nausea and morning sickness while supporting hormone balance.

  •  B1, B2, B3, B5, and Biotin — aid in energy production, healthy skin, and baby’s nervous system development.

Many mamas get some B vitamins from foods like leafy greens, eggs, dairy, meats, whole grains, and legumes—but pregnancy often increases your needs. A high-quality prenatal vitamin, along with a balanced diet, helps ensure you and your baby have all the support you need.

 By nourishing your body with B vitamins, you’re fueling your energy, supporting your baby’s development, and giving both of you a strong foundation for the months ahead.

Adrenal Cortex

 Adrenal glands—small but mighty—sit on top of your kidneys and produce important hormones from the adrenal cortex, including cortisol, aldosterone, and DHEA. These hormones help your body adapt to stress, regulate fluid balance, and support energy production.

 

During pregnancy, your adrenal cortex is working overtime:

 

  • Cortisol helps regulate blood sugar and supports your baby’s growth and development.

  • Aldosterone increases to help your body retain fluid and maintain healthy blood volume for both you and baby.

  • DHEA is a building block for estrogen production—essential for a healthy pregnancy and preparing your body for birth.

 

 

When your adrenal glands are supported, you may experience steadier energy, more emotional resilience, and better adaptation to the beautiful challenges of pregnancy. But chronic stress, poor nutrition, and lack of rest can strain these glands—leading to fatigue, dizziness, or trouble coping with stress.

 

How to nurture your adrenal cortex in pregnancy:

 

  • Prioritize rest and consistent sleep routines.

  • Eat balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs.

  • Avoid excessive caffeine or sugar spikes.

  • Include gentle exercise and fresh air daily.
