Pre-pregnancy supplements are boost for your body, packed with vital vitamins and minerals. They help you get ready for pregnancy by supporting your overall health, boosting fertility, and ensuring you have all the necessary nutrients for a great start.
Taking pre-conception vitamins helps fill in any nutritional gaps in your diet, supporting your reproductive health and enhancing your chances of conceiving. Depending on what is right for you, pre-pregnancy supplements can offer crucial nutrients like folic acid, iodine, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for your baby's early development.
Pre-pregnancy supplements play a crucial role in preparing a woman's body for a healthy pregnancy journey. These supplements, particularly those containing folate instead of folic acid, offer significant benefits. Folate, found naturally in foods like leafy greens and citrus fruits, is essential for preventing neural tube defects in early pregnancy. Unlike folic acid, folate is more readily absorbed by the body, ensuring optimal levels to support fetal development from the earliest stages.
Iodine is vital for thyroid function, which regulates metabolism and supports normal growth and development. Adequate iodine intake before conception helps ensure healthy thyroid hormone production, crucial for both the mother's and baby's overall health. By incorporating these nutrients through pre-pregnancy supplements, women can enhance their fertility, reduce the risk of birth defects, and lay a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Our pregnancy supplement smoothie is easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Simply blend the smoothie sachet with water and your preferred fruits and your other favourite ingredients.

Optivance pre-pregnancy smoothie is both a supplement and a nutrient dense food. Having a smoothie provides activated folate, iodine, a multivitamin, omega 3 fatty acids as a supplement and protein, carbohydrates and fibre as a nutritious food. Not all supplements are created equal. Read our reviews from other mums.
Activated folic acid in the form of methyl folate is biologically active, hence the term activated. It is directly absorbed into the body to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Biologically active folate is not affected by metabolic defects such as MTHFR gene mutation. Folic acid is the synthetic form which needs to be broken down by the body into the activated form. Optivance products do not contain synthetic folic acid, rather, they only contain the activated form of folate.
The Optivance Mummy Smoothie for pre-conception is an alternative to prenatal supplement tablets. You take either your prenatal tablet or our Mummy Smoothie each day, but not both.
★★★★★When I started taking these smoothies, I took them for the prebiotics and daily vitamins and minerals I would need throughout my pregnancy. Once I got to week 30 of pregnancy, I began having problems with indigestion and am now only having 5 small meals a day. I am so grateful I have these smoothies. They’re a godsend!
I have been able to continue taking them and had no issues with indigestion with my morning smoothie. I find these smoothies such an important MUST HAVE meal of my day now.

★★★★★I loved it. I was taking pure natural vitamins and it was making me really nauseous. So this was a great alternative and actually tasted so good at the same time!
Alexandra
★★★★★Optivance Mummy Smoothie is the perfect solution for mums looking to get their vitamin and mineral intake in a convenient and tasty drink rather than by taking supplements.
