Posted on: Wednesday, 10 August 2005, 18:00 CDT
GORDONSVILLE, Va., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- New Bright Beginnings(TM) PreNatal Bar from PBM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a great-tasting alternative to prenatal pills. Now available in cranberry granola flavor at the drugstore.com(TM) Web store, the patented PreNatal Bar is the only prescription prenatal food bar on the market.
"Some women find it difficult to swallow large prenatal pills on a regular basis," said Dr. Barbara Levine, Director, Associate Professor of Nutrition in Medicine, Weill Medical College of Cornell University. "Bright Beginnings PreNatal Bar is a great way for moms to get vitamins and minerals that are so necessary in the prenatal period."
"We are delighted to provide mothers with a pleasant alternative to oversized vitamin pills easily available through the Internet," said Jack Schramm, EVP of PBM Pharmaceuticals.
Maintaining ideal nutritional levels throughout pregnancy is crucial to ensuring that mothers and their infants are as healthy as possible. Pregnant women who eat a healthy diet containing adequate levels of folic acid may reduce their risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect.
Now one bar a day makes it easy to maintain recommended levels of important nutrients like calcium, folic acid, and vitamin D before, during, and after pregnancy. Each delicious PreNatal Bar delivers 100% daily value of 17 vitamins and minerals, including 1,300 mg of calcium, 1 mg of folic acid, and 45 mg of choline.
Bright Beginnings PreNatal Bar is the only prenatal supplement with the full recommended daily calcium requirement during pregnancy. It is also the only prenatal supplement physicians may prescribe that contains oligosaccharides, a soluble fiber clinically proven to increase calcium absorption.
