Vitality and emotional balance for a smoother postpartum!

Vitamin B9 (better known as folic acid) plays multiple roles in the body, particularly during the perinatal period. It is involved in all processes of cell growth and division and prevents malformations of the nervous system, particularly the neural tube. Vitamin B9 is key for the functioning of the body, the constitution of the embryo and the proper development of the fetus.

Many women are deficient in vitamin B9 without knowing it, even though it has been proven that taking vitamin B9 can considerably limit the risk of malformations.

Vitamin B9 may include:

- folate, the natural form of vitamin B9, which is naturally present in foods

- folic acid, of synthetic origin which is found in certain food supplements, but which is not correctly assimilated by all women.

At Boome, we have chosen a natural form of vitamin B9, more bioavailable than folic acid. We sourced it from citrus fruits and lemon in particular. We have also combined our vitamin B9 with vitamin B12, D, Zinc and choline to maximize its effects.

Iodine plays an essential role at all stages of motherhood. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), iodine is used for the proper development of the brain of the fetus and young child.

During the first months, the fetus depends exclusively on its mother's thyroid hormones. It needs iodine to grow and to produce its own thyroid hormones, which play an essential role in its neurosensory development.

Our iodine comes from fucus, an algae with multiple virtues. Our iodine being natural, it adjusts better to the woman's needs and limits the risk of overdose.

Choline, or more precisely citicoline (the generic name for CDP-choline), is an organic molecule produced endogenously and present in all living cells.

Choline has many benefits: it prevents the risk of pre-eclampsia and allows the proper development of the placenta, could reduce the risk of neural tube defects, premature birth and promotes the proper development of the organs and memory of your future baby.

The human body can produce choline via the liver, but in very small quantities. It is therefore better to try to favor external contributions, whether in food or food supplements.

Still rare in France in prenatal multivitamins, we have chosen to include from the start in our formulation a patented form of choline, Cognizin®.
