Zita West Vital Essence 2 is a premium pregnancy multivitamin supplement with the optimal vitamins required for the second trimester (13-28 weeks).
In trimester two, your baby's skeleton starts forming, requiring increased levels of calcium for proper mineralization of bones and teeth. Vital Essence 2 provides the recommended intake of Calcium, and Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 play vital roles in ensuring that calcium is effectively absorbed, contributing to the overall strength of your baby's skeletal structure. Iron supports the blood flow, ensuring both you and your baby receive adequate oxygen, while reducing fatigue and tiredness.
During the second trimester, Iodine is particularly critical for the normal development of a baby’s brain and nervous system, while Vitamin B2 contributes to your normal skin as your bump grows.

What makes Vital Essence 2 suitable for the second trimester?
Vital Essence 2 is crafted to meet the unique needs of the second trimester when your baby's skeleton is forming, and their nervous system is maturing. Key ingredients like Vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium support these crucial developments.
Is it OK to keep on taking Vital Essence 2 when I am into the 3rd Trimester?
It’s perfectly fine to keep on using Vital Essence 2 for a few weeks after the end of the 2nd trimester, for example to finish off a bottle that you have only just started. The differences in the formulation of Vital Essence 3 are not huge, and have just been made in order to fine-tune the formulation to make it as specific as possible to the particular needs of your body as you move into this final stage of pregnancy.
Why is there vitamin A in this product?
Vitamin A plays a pivotal role in supporting foetal development, contributing to essential processes such as embryonic growth, immune system function, and vision development. However, it's crucial to approach vitamin A intake during pregnancy with caution, as excessive levels can pose risks. In our supplements, we prioritise the safety of both the mother and the developing baby by utilising a carefully chosen form of vitamin A—Beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene serves as a safe precursor to vitamin A, and the body converts it into active vitamin A only as needed, ensuring that levels remain within the recommended, safe range. This approach allows us to provide the necessary support for foetal development without compromising safety.
How does Vital Essence 2 help during the second trimester?
In the second trimester, your baby's skeletal system is taking shape, and calcium absorption rises. Vital Essence 2 provides the necessary nutrients, like Vitamin D and magnesium for optimal bone development.
What is the difference between Vital Essence 1 and 2?
The mix of certain vitamins and minerals has been modified to meet the changing demands of mother and baby during the second trimester.

How do I take Vital Essence 2?

Why has the capsule intake reduced from 3 to 2 for Vital Essence 2?

The range has been optimised to ensure that they are providing the most important nutrients during each trimester at the clinically research amount.
