Revital Essence, Postnatal & Breastfeeding Supplement

Contents – 90 capsules (1 month’s supply)

DOES NOT CONTAIN VITAMIN A

For The Fourth Trimester (0 – 16 weeks following birth) – Post natal and breast-feeding support
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 goodies to this 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 the immune system.

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

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.

Directions For Use:

Take one capsule three times a day with food. Should only be taken on a full stomach.

Suitable for vegetarians. Free from artificial colours, preservatives, gluten and yeast. Non-GM.

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

If under medical supervision, seek guidance from your medical practitioner before using this product.

ReVital Essence – Ingredients and Their Benefits:

B vitamins – important for the normal functioning of the immune system and regulation of a mother’s hormonal activity.
Beta Carotene – helps protect, safely, against Vitamin A deficiency and cell mutation. Supports normal cell differentiation, normal function of the immune system as well as the normal metabolism of Iron. Passed on through mother’s milk.
Biotin – essential for metabolising most macronutrients as well as for the normal function of the nervous system. The concentration of Biotin in breast milk is 15 times higher than in the mother’s blood, which suggests that Biotin may be very important for a baby’s growth and development.
Calcium – needed for the development of your baby’s nervous system and strong, healthy bones and teeth.
Choline – an essential nutrient required by the body to make important compounds necessary for healthy cell membranes.
Folate – contributes to normal cell division. 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 to provide a broader 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 the mother to help build up haeomoglobin in the blood, especially if there has been considerable blood loss. Also helps to support normal cognitive function and to supply oxygen to the muscles.
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.
Selenium – an important antioxidant. Helps to protect DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage. Also important for the normal functioning of the immune and thyroid systems.
Vitamin C – helps wounds to heal by manufacturing collagen, connective tissue and blood vessels. Supports the immune system, helps to fight infection and increases the body’s absorption of Iron. Particularly valuable if you are breast feeding.
Vitamin D – important to help maintain a healthy inflammatory response and the normal functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin E – Essential for metabolism and the development of the nervous system.
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 – helps to support the immune system and normal DNA synthesis. Levels of copper (which is antagonistic to Zinc) rise during pregnancy, reaching a peak just after the birth. The placenta is an exceedingly rich form of Zinc, which is why most animals eat the placenta after giving birth.

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.

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 help to safeguard your intake of important vitamins and minerals.

Can I take Revital Essence if I am breast-feeding?

Yes, Revital Essence is excellent for when you are breast-feeding as the micro-nutrients you gain from your own diet can be passed on to your baby via your breast-milk.

What is “RDA” and why are so many of the ingredients in Revital Essence higher than 100%?

“RDA” is an abbreviation of “Recommended Daily Allowance.” The RDA was devised by the Dept of Health in the UK in 1979 to provide guidance on the intake of a limited number of specific vitamins and minerals that an average adult should have daily in order to avoid a deficiency that may lead to disease or general ill-health. Whereas this was, and remains, a useful benchmark for judging the contribution that any supplement may make to reaching those minimum requirements, it wasn’t intended to represent an indication of optimum intake. You will probably have noticed that many supplements, particularly premium priced ones such as our own, contain daily levels that are frequently many times higher than the RDA, sometimes substantially so. This is because the vitamins and minerals concerned have been set at therapeutic levels in an attempt to boost the body’s store of the nutrients concerned, often for a particular and limited period of time, the need for which can of course vary depending on factors such as general health, age etc. It is universally recognised, for example, that pregnancy and the early months following the birth, benefit from special attention to nutrition. All of the formulations within the Zita West range are well within the Government’s guidelines for what represents the upper safe limit (USL) for long term daily supplementation of any given nutrient.

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.
