摘要：
NUTRITIONAL PREPARATIONS. The present invention relates to compositions and methods for improving the nutritional and physiological condition of a woman and her baby during all gestational stages. This includes women in the preconception period, pregnant women, and women in the postnatal period (both lactating and non-lactating women). The compositions are particularly useful for the neurological, visual, and cognitive development of an embryo, fetus, or baby and the nutritional and physiological well-being of the mother, fetus, and baby. The compositions contain one or more folates, such as reduced folate and / or folic acid, and one or more essential fatty acids (EFA) such as an omega-3 and / or omega-6 fatty acid. The addition of an essential fatty acid improves on the folate that contains the nutritional preparations described in the prior art. One or more folates and the essential fatty acid can be administered together or in separate dosage units. One or more folates can be selected from folic acid / folate, one or more reduced folates, or a combination of folic acid / folate and one or more reduced folates. The reduced folate is preferably 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and more preferably 5-methyl- (6S) -tetrahydrofolic acid. Essential fatty acid is preferably omega-3 fatty acid, and is preferably docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) derived from a vegetable or non-fish source. The compositions can optionally contain other vitamins, minerals, and ingredients such as laxative emollients - all defined here as "optional ingredients or other ingredients".PREPARAçõES NUTRICIONAIS.
