FOR POST-NATAL PERIOD - 0-3 MONTHS
 
Suitable for vegetarians
 
After you have given birth your body has another set of nutritional requirements. Revital Essence includes important nutrients such as B vitamins, which are important for lactation and Zinc, which is involved with hormonal balance and the promotion of healing. We've added Choline too, an essential nutrient necessary for the development of healthy cell membranes as well as a broader and more effective range of valuable anti-oxidants to help support the immune system. There's Korean Ginseng and Co Q 10 as well, to help provide some added energy.

(90 tablets - 1 month's supply).

NEW FORMULA
The Fourth Trimester (0 - 16 weeks following birth)

Many of the women we see at the Clinic are so focussed on getting through labour that they neglect to think about how best to look after themselves, as well as their babies, following the birth. It is easy to under-estimate the physical, mental and emotional demands that these early months can bring for a new mother. The more you can keep your body well nourished and nutritionally balanced, the quicker it will heal and the better you will be able to get on top of your new responsibilities and routine.
 
We've added lots of new goodies into this new formula, all of which can be passed on to your baby through your milk if you are breast-feeding. For example, there's Beta Carotene, to help protect, safely, against Vitamin A deficiency and cell mutation. And a much broader and more effective range of anti-oxidants to help support both you and your baby's immune system.

One tablet, taken three times a day with food, will provide, alongside a good diet, the micro-nutrients you need during the three to four months it takes your body to return to its pre-pregnant condition. The tablets are suitable for vegetarians. They are free from artificial colours, preservatives and gluten and are certified non-GM. Contains yeast.

Should you decide to breast-feed, we recommend that ReVital Essence should be taken in conjunction with VitalDHA, as you will be able to pass on the benefit of the supplement to your baby through your milk.

Please note: Revital Essence is completely safe to take whilst breast-feeding.

ReVital Essence - Ingredients and Their Benefits

B vitamins - important for lactation and to help prevent blood sugar problems.
Beta Carotene - helps protect, safely, against Vitamin A deficiency and cell mutation. Passed on through mother's milk. Newly added, at 4 mg.
Calcium - helps with the development of the nervous system and strong bones and teeth. Now increased to 500mg.
Choline - an essential nutrient required by the body to make important compounds necessary for healthy cell membranes.
Co-enzyme Q10– helps to release energy by releasing oxygen. Oxygen is needed for tissue repair and immune function following the birth.
Folic Acid - increased evidence of benefit of higher dosages for a whole range of cellular activities beyond pregnancy. Supplementation can be valuable as good supplies are hard to get from food alone.
Fruit extracts - (pomegranate, grapeskin, bilberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry). Extra fruit extracts added for the post-natal period, along with Alpha-Lipoic Acid and N-Acetyl Cysteine, to provide a broader and more effective spectrum of anti-oxidants to help support the immune system.
Iodine - an essential micro-nutrient in the human diet, most particularly as a component of thyroid hormones, which play a vital role inthe regulation of metabolic processes such as growth and energy expenditure.
Iron - needed by both mother and baby to help build up haeomoglobin in the blood, especially if there has been considerable blood loss. Iron also helps to fight infection and to supply oxygen to the muscles.
Korean Ginseng - a helpful general pick-me-up tonic.
Lutein and Lycopene - Thought to help, amongst other things, to protect against free-radical damage to cells. Newly added.
Magnesium - essential for energy production, for proper nerve function and for every major metabolic reaction. Few enzymes (the protein molecules which carry the DNA's instructions in the body) can work without it. It is also important for controlling calcium entry into heart cells. Now increased to 250mg.
Phosphorus - vital for every chemical reaction in the body, as well as for energy production. Also good for skeletal growth and for the proper utilisation of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Selenium - supports the baby's brain development and an important antioxidant to help prevent infection. Now increased to 100ug.
Vitamin C - helps wounds to heal by manufacturing collagen, connective tissue and blood vessels. It strengthens the immune system, helps to fight infection and increases the body’s absorption of iron. Extra is needed if you are breast feeding.
Vitamin E - gives antioxidant protection and helps to promote wound healing following the birth.
Vitamin K - controls blood clotting. Your child cannot manufacture Vitamin K within his or her own gut yet and relies on breast milk for his or her supply.
Zinc - needed to aid wound healing and hormone production, to boost the immune system and to help combat post-natal depression. Levels of copper (which is antagonistic to zinc) rise during pregnancy, reaching a peak just after the birth. Unless zinc levels are boosted, both mother and baby may be zinc deficient (the placenta is an exceedingly rich form of zinc, which is why most animals eat the placenta after giving birth).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Revital Essence differ from any other product on the market?
ReVital Essence is an unique formulation comprising the specific mix of vitamins and minerals you will need to help with the many challenges and changes your body will experience immediately after the birth of your baby, such as wound-healing, blood loss, establishing breast-feeding and revitalising energy levels.

I am not finding time to prepare meals properly or eat properly; can Revital Essence help me?
Revital Essence is not a substitute for food, but it will give you a good balance of vitamins and minerals.

Can I take Revital Essence if I am breast-feeding?
Yes, Revital Essence is excellent when you are breast-feeding. Your requirement of Vitamin C increases and it will help you with the extra energy requirements of breast-feeding.

We Recommend You Take Vital DHA With ReVital Essence Whilst you are Breast-feeding.

During the months after birth your baby’s brain continues to grow at an amazing rate. 60% of his or her nourishment during the first six months is dedicated to brain development. Babies do not begin to manufacture DHA from EFA's until they are at least 4 months old, so a good store of DHA, supplied by your breast milk, is critical for optimum growth.
