4 Proteins needs PREGNANCY Fetus growth Placental growth Increase of maternal blood mass Synthesis of amniotic fluid Building-up of stocks to be used during delivery & lactation LACTATION Milk production Maternal homeostasis

5 Proteins intake It is involved in tissue growth and repair PREGNANCY Adulte Pregnant Supplement DRI g/kg/d 1.1 g/kg/d g/kg/d A pregnant woman of 68 kg should receive additional protein supplement from 10.2 to 20.4 g per day. LACTATION Adulte Lactating Supplement DRI g/kg/d 1.3 g/kg/d g/kg/d A lactating woman of 60 kg should receive additional protein supplement from 22.4 to 32 g per day. Two glasses of LADYMIL bring 21 g of proteins covering the additional needs of pregnant and lactating woman STD Iran: g/100g LADYMIL: 23g/100g

6 mg per day Essential & semi-essential amino acids needs DRI pregnancy DRI lactation 1 glass of LADYMIL DRI grossesse DRI Lactation 1 verre de LADYMIL LADYMIL brings high biological value proteins covering the needs of pregnant and lactating woman in essential amino acids

7 Lipids needs Lipids provide Energy & Essential fatty acid Linoleic acid (ω6) Membranes flexibility Precursor of AA => allergic reactions mediation Some ω6 can be found in usual food but sometimes not in sufficient quantity for the mother Indispensible to the fetus and the mother But cannot be synthetized by the human body. It has to be brought by the diet. Beneficial for the vision Precursor of DHA Precursor of EPA Some ω3 can be found in usual food but sometimes not in sufficient quantity for the mother α-linolenic acid (ω3) Those essential fatty acids need to be supplemented to the usual diet in order to achieve an ideal status of the baby and mother

8 Lipids and essential fatty acids intake 20% 25% 35% Lipids in LADYMIL contribute to 25% of total energy intake as recommended by the DRI. Min DRI LADYMIL Max DRI STD Iran: 25 30% TE DRI (g/d) Adult Pregnant Lactating 2 glasses of LADYMIL Linoleic acid (ω6) g α-linolenic acid (ω3) g

9 Carbohydrates LACTOSE MALTODEXTRIN Excellent source of energy Promotes absorption of Calcium Easily digested Quick source of energy INULINE SUCROSE Dietary fiber promoting intestinal transit Promotes the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria => promotes absorption of the Ca Formula is more palatable (pregnant women can have their taste modified during pregnancy)

10 Calcium needs Fetus accumulates around 200 mg Ca per day during the 3 rd quarter of pregnancy mg Ca per day are secreted in breast milk during lactation The total DRI of calcium during pregnancy and lactation are not higher than those of a non pregnant or non lactating woman : 800 to 1300 mg/day BUT Many women do not usually consume this daily recommended amount of Calcium. => Dietary supplementation during pregnancy and lactation is useful. 2 glasses of LADYMIL bring 1080 mg of Calcium STD Iran for Ca: mg/100g / LADYMIL: 1200 mg/100g

16 Vitamins needs Vitamins needs are all increased during pregnancy. Additional needs in certain vitamins, such as vitamin A, C and B group, can be covered by a diversified diet. Contrariwise, needs in folic acid (B9) can be a problem as many women are deficient since the very beginning of the pregnancy.

17 Adult woman Pregnant woman Folic acid needs Folic acid is synthesized by plants, no endogenous synthesis => must be brought by the diet Recommended intake Additional needs to satisfy: Maternal tissue expansion (blood, uterus, ) Fetus growth and constitution of stocks Increase of folate metabolism linked to metabolic modifications during pregnancy mcg folate/day mcg folate/day STD Iran: µg/100g / LADYMIL: 550µg/100g 1 glass of LADYMIL brings 248 mcg of folate
