Buried Treasure Liquid Nutrients is a line of liquid vitamins and minerals. Joe Davis, PhD, with North Carolina State University explains that liquid vitamins are better absorbed by the body. On average, only 20 percent of a pill vitamin is absorbed, while at least 40 to 60 percent of a liquid vitamin is. Buried Treasure has a prenatal liquid vitamin called PreNatal Plus DHA Complete for women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or are nursing.
Vitamins
PreNatal Plus DHA Complete contains a wide range of vitamins. Vitamin A is included at a dosage of 8,000 IU, along with 180 mg of vitamin C. The liquid prenatal vitamin supplement also contains a bioflavonoid complex and 400 IU of vitamin D, 150 IU of vitamin E, 25 mg of vitamin B1 and 30 mg of vitamin B2. Niacin is included at 25 mg; there are 25 mg of vitamin B6 and 100 mcg of vitamin B12. PreNatal Plus DHA Complete also contains 800 mcg of folic acid to help prevent birth defects. Additionally, the supplement has 50 mg of pantothenic acid, 25 mg of choline bitartrate, 300 mcg of biotin, 25 mg of inositol, 10 mg of PABA or para amino benzoic acid and 80 mcg of vitamin K.
Minerals
The 11 minerals in Buried Treasure's PreNatal Plus include 250 mg of calcium and 125 mg of magnesium. Pregnant women require 27 mg of iron per day, and this liquid formula satisfies a large portion of that requirement, with 20 mg per dose. The liquid also contains15 mg of copper, 3 mg of manganese, 50 mcg of selenium, 120 mcg of chromium and 3 mg of boron, along with 99 mg of potassium and 150 mcg of iodine.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
During pregnancy, omega-3 fatty acids are important for the development of vision and the central nervous system in the unborn baby. This prenatal vitamin supplement contains 200 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, also known as DHA. DHA is one type of omega-3 fatty acid, and it also crosses through the breast milk, so the baby can still benefit from it after birth.
Herbs
An herbal blend of 200 mg total is included in the PreNatal Plus liquid vitamin supplement. Red raspberry leaf is the primary herb; it may reduce morning sickness symptoms and help tone the uterus in preparation for labor. Meadowsweet, ginger root and chamomile are also added for their calming properties and to help relieve morning sickness as well.
