Here are some naturopathic options to help
keep you healthy.

Pregnancy
When you are pregnant, your body needs specialised nutrition, because what you feed your body is ultimately what your baby is being fed. Ensure you make sensible decisions with the food and medications you consume. Here are some pregnancy-safe products I recommend.
To order, simply enter the items you want into this order form and you can pay by visa or mastercard. Postage costs within NZ is $5 per parcel. Email me for international shipping - usually around $7 for 1 item, then $3 per extra item added. I also accept Paypal!
 NFS Folic Acid - 300mcg 120 tablets NZ$13.70
You need to take around 800mcg Folic Acid daily in the 3 months prior to conception, then at least for the first 3 months of pregnancy. If you are over 34, you need around 1200mcg. And guys need it prior to conception too! If you are aiming for 800mcg daily, usually 2 tablets daily is enough because your pregnancy multivitamin should have around 200mcg.
