PREGNANTPREGNANT Being a mother was something that Heather, a seasoned labor and delivery nurse, wanted for as long as she could remember. After ten years of infertility, Heather now stays at home with her six-month-old baby boy Declan, and she's happy to share the amazing way a supplement made her dreams of motherhood come true. “Not being able to get pregnant for so long was a nightmare, especially since I worked around new mothers and babies,” she recalls. Heather suffered from menstrual cycle problems. Intrigued by the health results she experienced from taking supplements, she increased the daily amount. After six weeks, she had her first natural cycle in ten years. She and her husband were delighted to discover she was pregnant almost right away, but their son entered the world three months premature and weighed just under two pounds. Despite discouraging odds for survival, tiny Declan grew stronger. Heather credits the enriched breast milk that nourished her son. Declan is home now and weighs a whopping 14 pounds. “He's beautiful,” she says. “Just beautiful.”

Dan knew he wasn't getting the nutrition he needed from his diet. So when he started taking supplements consistently a year and a half ago, he knew it was a good thing. He just didn't know how good. Seasonal allergies were a constant in Dan's life. Since he was about 12, he'd taken two pills a day and used inhalers for relief. Yard work and living with five cats didn't help his allergies, either. Supplementing has made both much more tolerable for Dan, who is even more excited to talk about his wife's results. She was able to kick the caffeine habit and used this supplement as her prenatal nutrition. “She didn't have any of the bothersome symptoms that come with pregnancy,” he says. “No fatigue, no leg aches, no anemia. The assistants in our birthing class were so impressed that now they recommend these supplements.” The proud father says his new daughter quickly doubled her birth weight and is already sleeping through the night at three months. She's happy and content. _______________
