The news that you are pregnant marks the beginning of one of the most transformative and meaningful adventures of your life. It is a stage filled with excitement, but also with profound changes that can awaken doubts, concerns, and unexpected emotions. Between fatigue, nausea, hormonal ups and downs, and of course, the growth of your belly, it is normal to ask yourself: what can I do to take better care of myself and my baby?
At Storgē Motherhood we want to share with you a simple, practical, and honest guide, from one mother to another. Because although every pregnancy is unique, we are all looking for the same thing: to feel accompanied, informed, and strengthened to fully enjoy this very special stage of our lives.
From the moment you discover that you are expecting, your body enters a phase of intense work. You are forming organs, tissues, entire systems. You are creating life. This means that your nutritional needs naturally increase, and this is where conscious and balanced nutrition becomes your ally. But in addition to an adequate diet, there is a fundamental pillar that we should never overlook: prenatal vitamins. They not only fill the nutritional gaps that may remain in your daily diet, but also provide direct benefits that support both your well-being and the optimal development of your baby.
Vitamins and minerals fulfill essential functions before, during, and after pregnancy. Taking them before conceiving helps prepare your body and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. During pregnancy, these nutrients work with you to provide energy, support your metabolism, and strengthen each phase of your baby’s development. And after birth, especially supporting the mother’s recovery and energy, promoting healthier breastfeeding, balancing your internal reserves, and encouraging the healthy growth of the baby.
Among the most important nutrients is methylfolate, which is the active and bioavailable form of folate essential for preventing neural tube defects and protecting the development of the baby’s brain and spinal cord. Also iron, necessary to produce the additional blood volume that your body requires, prevent anemia, and support the proper formation of the placenta and fetal growth. A balanced diet is essential, but even with the best diet we can have deficiencies, which is why prenatal vitamins become an important part of this journey.
However, not all prenatal vitamins are the same, and their formulation makes a big difference. Choosing a vitamin that truly works with you — and not against you — is key to nourishing yourself effectively and safely.
ELARA Vitamins+: Clean Science and Nutrients That Work With You
One of the reasons why I recommend Elara Vitamins+ is because they are designed under a principle that for me changes everything: “Not all vitamins work better together. ELARA has been designed so that each nutrient works, not competes.” This means they take care not only of what nutrients you receive, but how they interact, how well they are absorbed, and how they act in your body at every stage of pregnancy.
Elara Vitamins+ offers a clean formulation based on scientific evidence, without unnecessary blends or ingredients that interfere with each other. They use bioavailable forms of each nutrient — including Methylfolate, which is the active and bioavailable form of folate, essential for supporting neural tube formation, cellular methylation, and key processes that sustain a healthy pregnancy. Vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, is fundamental for the baby’s early development, especially vision and cellular growth, and supports the immune system and reproductive health of the woman. Choline, key for the baby’s early brain development and for essential methylation processes, in addition to supporting memory, hormonal balance, and the woman’s metabolic health. Ferrochel™ (iron bisglycinate) is a highly absorbable form and unlike many supplements it is gentle on the stomach, helping maintain optimal iron levels, essential for maternal energy and proper oxygenation of the developing baby. K2 MK-7 helps direct calcium to the correct tissues, favoring maternal bone health and supporting key processes in the baby’s structural development. And last but not least, Iodine, essential for the production of thyroid hormones, fundamental for maternal energy and for the baby’s early neurological and cognitive development — to ensure that your body can use them efficiently. In addition, they are designed to accompany you before, during, and after pregnancy safely and effectively. All of this makes every capsule count: that every nutrient adds to you, that every dose supports your energy, your health, and your baby’s development without compromises.
Pregnancy is a unique experience, an opportunity to connect with yourself, with your body, and with the life you are creating. At Storgē Motherhood we accompany you by providing clear information, the right tools, and conscious nutrition that helps you feel safe and supported. Your well-being is the first gift you give to your baby, and taking care of yourself is also a way of honoring this very special stage.
