SAN ANTONIO — To make high-quality nutritional supplements available to more women before their pregnancies, Mission Pharmacal on Wednesday introduced CitraNatal basic, an over-the-counter prenatal vitamin designed to provide prepregnancy nutritional support.
CitraNatal basic is available exclusively at amazon.com.
“The special CitraNatal basic formulation provides the full spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, iron, calcium and DSM’s life’sDHA to help fill dietary gaps in nutrition and give babies a healthy start,” said Nancy Price, senior product manager, CitraNatal, Mission Pharmacal. “As is the case with Mission’s complete line of prescription CitraNatal vitamins, CitraNatal basic uses pure, best-quality ingredients and is designed with a woman’s nutritional support and convenience in mind."
CitraNatal basic minimizes the gas and discomfort associated with some supplements containing alternate calcium sources (e.g., calcium carbonate) and provides ample folic acid and other important nutrients in just one easy-to-swallow tablet and one soft gel per day, the company stated.
