Vitamin E (D-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate)

Vitamin E is crucial for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum due to its antioxidant properties, immune system support, and potential roles in preventing complications. During preconception, vitamin E contributes to reproductive health by protecting cells from oxidative stress, supporting the integrity of reproductive tissues and DNA.

The benefits of Vitamin E during pregnancy

In pregnancy, vitamin E is essential for foetal development, particularly in the formation of the nervous and immune systems. It helps protect the foetus from oxidative damage and supports overall maternal wellbeing. Adequate vitamin E levels are associated with a reduced risk of certain pregnancy complications, such as pre-eclampsia.

The benefits of Vitamin E during postpartum

During postpartum, vitamin E continues to play a role in immune function, supporting the mother's recovery and helping protect against infections. It may also aid in wound healing and tissue repair post childbirth.
