1 Healthy Mom & Baby Specially designed formulas for the unique needs of pregnant women, nursing moms, and their babies. Choose Quality. Choose Carlson.

2 Take care of your baby and yourself Our nutritional needs are higher during pregnancy than at any other time in our adult lives. Throughout pregnancy, a baby s needs fluctuate, which can make it difficult to maintain optimal nutrient levels for both mom and baby. Providing our bodies with adequate vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s is important for our continued health and the healthy development of our babies. Here are some of the most essential nutrients you ll find in our special formulations for soon-to-be moms, moms, and babies.

3 Calcium is the most abundant mineral in our body and is essential for strong bones, teeth, muscle contractions, nerve function, and our body s defense system. During pregnancy, there s an increased need for calcium, because it s also important for a baby s bone structure and development. DHA is one of the most important omega-3 fatty acids and is fundamental for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It supports healthy brain function, memory, and mood in moms and promotes healthy brain, vision, and nervous system development in growing babies. Folate (Folic Acid) is a highly researched B vitamin that plays an important role in maintaining healthy blood, vitamin vitalization, genetic material synthesis and central nervous system development. Research indicates that inadequate amounts of folate can lead to complications with pregnancy and fetal development. Iron, chelated for optimal absorption, is an important component of many of the proteins and enzymes required for health and growth, including hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout our bodies. During pregnancy, a woman s blood volume increases by 50%, so her need for iron also increases. Magnesium is an important mineral for supporting many body functions, but most of us don t get enough through our diet. Magnesium is required for healthy bone development, muscle relaxation and contraction, and energy production in moms and babies. Selenium plays an important role in the formation of immune supporting enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, which promotes cellular health and helps fight free radicals. Selenium also supports healthy brain development in growing children. Vitamin A promotes the healthy development of an unborn child. It s recommended that women receive up to 10,000 IU of vitamin A prior to and during pregnancy and lactation. Since most women don t receive an adequate amount of vitamin A through diet alone, a supplement can be a great option. Vitamin B6 is involved in a number of processes within our body, especially the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. According to research it also helps to support the immune system by aiding in the production of antibodies and red blood cells. Vitamin B-6 also helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Vitamin B12 is very important during pregnancy, when moms experience a 4-pound increase in blood volume. Vitamin B12 is utilized by the body to help manufacture red blood cells and also assists with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins and helps to promote a healthy mood. Vitamin C is required for collagen synthesis, which is an important component of the connective tissue in blood vessels, skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones. It s also important for energy production, neurotransmitter function, and iron absorption, and it supports a healthy immune system. Vitamin D helps regulate the body s levels of phosphate, which is critical for supporting healthy growth and development and promoting teeth, bone, and muscle health in moms and their babies. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps maintain healthy cells and protects cells from free radical damage. During pregnancy, a woman s body works extra hard, so it s important to support the immune system. All-natural vitamin E is passed to the baby 3.5 times more effectively than synthetic vitamin E.

4 Prenatal ** Multiple with DHA Supports healthy fetal brain and eye development* Supports mom and baby before, during, and after pregnancy* Provides 22 vitamins and minerals, plus the important omega-3 DHA Contains 100% all-natural vitamin E Freshness, potency, and purity guaranteed Pregnancy places high demands on our bodies. Prenatal is a research-based multivitamin that provides nutrients to support a mom and her baby before, during, and after pregnancy (while breastfeeding). Taken before pregnancy, Prenatal provides key nutrients, including folate, to help support healthy brain and spinal cord development. During pregnancy, it s specially formulated with 22 of the most important vitamins and minerals and the omega-3 DHA to nourish both mom and baby and to support a healthy pregnancy. Taken while breastfeeding, Prenatal replenishes a mother s nutrient levels and provides her baby with the nutrients needed for healthy growth and development. 2 Soft Gels Provide Vitamin A (3000 IU as palmitate & 5000 IU as beta carotene) Vitamin C (from calcium ascorbate) Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol from soy) Vitamin K1 (as phylloquinone) Thiamin (Vitamin B-1)(as thiamin HCl) Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) 8,000 IU 300 mg 1,600 IU 150 IU 200 mcg 3.4 mg 8 mg Pantothenic Acid (from d-calcium pantothenate) Calcium (from calcium carbonate & calcium ascorbate) Iron (from iron glycinate chelate) Iodine (from potassium iodide) Magnesium (from magnesium oxide) Zinc (from zinc gluconate) Selenium (from selenomethionine) Copper (from copper gluconate) 40 mg 100 mg 27 mg 150 mcg 100 mg 15 mg 70 mcg 2 mg d Niacin (as niacinamide) 60 mg Manganese (from manganese gluconate) 2 mg Vitamin B-6 (as pyridoxine HCl) 10 mg Chromium (from chromium nicotinate) 120 mcg Folate (folic acid) 800 mcg Fish Oil Concentrate 1,000 mg Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin) Biotin 32 mcg 300 mcg DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) 430 mg 60 mg Flavor Size Code Unflavored 60 Soft Gels Soft Gels 4405 ** Not to be sold in California *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

5 Mother s DHA 500 mg of DHA Supports healthy brain function, memory, and mood* Promotes healthy brain development and vision in growing children* May be taken after pregnancy to enhance breast milk quality Provides 500 mg of DHA per soft gel Freshness, potency, and purity guaranteed Recent medical studies have found that DHA is especially important during pregnancy and lactation. During pregnancy, DHA supports healthy brain function, memory, and mood in moms and promotes healthy brain, vision, and nervous system development in growing babies. When taken after pregnancy, DHA can help enhance the quality of breast milk. Just one Mother s DHA soft gel provides 500 mg of DHA. 1 Soft Gel Provides Vitamin E (as natural d-alpha tocopherol) Fish Body Oil Concentrate DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) 10 IU 1,000 mg 500 mg e Flavor Size Code Unflavored 60 Soft Gels Soft Gels 1561 EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) 100 mg *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

6 Baby s DHA Up to 1,100 mg of Omega-3s with Vitamin D3 Provides the omega-3 DHA Contains 400 IU of vitamin D3 Made from premium wild-caught, sustainably-sourced Norwegian cod Easy dosing with included syringe Freshness, potency, and purity guaranteed The omega-3 DHA supports healthy brain, vision, and nervous system development in growing children and is especially important during their first two years, as their brains nearly double in size.* Unfortunately, many infants don t get adequate amounts of DHA through breastfeeding or formula alone. Baby s DHA is a great way to fill this nutritional gap and ensure your children receive the highquality DHA their growing bodies and brains need. Carlson Baby s DHA is made exclusively from premium Arctic cod caught in the deep, pristine waters off the coast of Norway using traditional, sustainable methods. Baby s DHA is bottled with a touch of vitamin E to prevent oxidation. 1 Teaspoon (5mL) Provides Vitamin A (as retinyl palmitate) Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol & mixed tocopherols) 850 IU 400 IU 10 IU 100% Norwegian Cod Liver Oil 4.6 g Omega-3 Fatty Acids 1,100 mg DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) 500 mg 400 mg a Size Code 60 ml Liquid 1860 *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

7 Baby s Super Daily D3 400 IU per Drop Promotes healthy growth and develpment* Supports teeth, bone, and muscle health* 400 IU of concentrated vitamin D in each liquid drop Unflavored with no aftertastee Freshness, potency, and purity guaranteed Breast milk and formula are excellent nutrient sources for babies but often don t provide enough vitamin D for a growing little one. And while many of us rely on the sun to help our bodies produce vitamin D, sun exposure isn t recommended for babies younger than 6 months. Vitamin D is essential for babies because it promotes healthy growth and development, helps their bodies absorb calcium and phosphorus; and supports teeth, bone, and muscle health. To make sure your baby gets an adequate amount of vitamin D, a daily supplement may be the best option. Each dose of Baby s Super Daily D3 provides 400 IU of vitamin D, the recommended daily intake of the American Academy of Pediatrics. And it s easy and convenient. Simply turn the bottle upside down to release a perfectly measured drop of vitamin D. Use while nursing or place a drop directly on your baby s tongue. Baby s Super Daily D3 is odorless and unflavored with no aftertaste, and each bottle contains 365 drops of vitamin D one for every day of the year. 1 Drop (0.001 fl oz /0.028 ml) Provides Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) 400 IU a Size Code 10.3 ml Liquid 1250 *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
