Who is it for?
In trimester two, your baby's skeleton starts forming, demanding increased levels of calcium for proper mineralisation of bones and teeth. As calcium levels rise in Vital Essence 2, Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 play vital roles in ensuring that calcium is effectively absorbed, contributing to the overall strength of your baby's skeletal structure.
Magnesium, Manganse and Boron are also critical nutrients which Vital Essence 2 prioritises to further support bone formation.
Iron continues to support your increasing blood supply and ensuring both you and your baby receive adequate oxygen, whilst reducing fatigue and tiredness.
During the second trimester, Iodine is particularly critical for the normal development of a baby’s brain and nervous system. Whilst Vitamin B2 contributes to your normal skin as your bump grows.
Vital Essence 2 delivers high quality nutrients your body needs in carefully formulated doses. We understand that each trimester brings unique needs. That's why our supplements are backed by the latest clinical research, ensuring you and your baby receive the best support during this dynamic time.
Suitable for daily use by women during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Take 2 capsules per day with a cold drink, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Capsules can be taken together, or dose split during the day. Vital Essence 2 is safe to take alongside all Zita West pregnancy supplements (excluding Pregnancy Plan).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes Vital Essence 2 suitable for the second trimester?
Vital Essence 2 is crafted to meet the unique needs of the second trimester when your baby's skeleton is forming, and their nervous system is maturing. Key ingredients like Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium support these crucial developments.
-
Is it OK to keep on taking Vital Essence 2 when I am into the 3rd Trimester?
It’s perfectly fine to keep on using Vital Essence 2 for a few weeks after the end of the 2nd trimester, for example to finish off a bottle that you have only just started. The differences in the formulation of Vital Essence 3 are not huge, and have just been made in order to fine-tune the formulation to make it as specific as possible to the particular needs of your body as you move into this final stage of pregnancy.
-
Why is there vitamin A in this product?
Vitamin A plays a pivotal role in supporting foetal development, contributing to essential processes such as embryonic growth, immune system function, and vision development. However, it's crucial to approach vitamin A intake during pregnancy with caution, as excessive levels can pose risks. In our supplements, we prioritise the safety of both the mother and the developing baby by utilising a carefully chosen form of vitamin A—Beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene serves as a safe precursor to vitamin A, and the body converts it into active vitamin A only as needed, ensuring that levels remain within the recommended, safe range. This approach allows us to provide the necessary support for foetal development without compromising safety.
