D3Natal -Vitamin D• Bio Tech's D3Natal contains 5000IU of VitaminD3 (cholecalciferol)• The current RDA is grossly inadequate at450mcg/day (UPMC study; Lisa Bodner, PhD,M.P.H, M.D.)• The ONLY prenatal with adequate and newlyrecommended IU levels between 4000-6000IU• Vitamin D3 is water-soluble and dissolvesinstantly

D3Natal -Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 regulates calcium absorptionfrom the intestines, maintains normal bloodlevels of calcium and phosphorus, anpromotes bone formation• More benefits of Vitamin D3 are coming tolight and affects nearly every disease statefrom diabetes to cancer• The main source of Vitamin D3 is sunlight

D3Natal -Vitamin D3

• People with dark skin, limited exposure tosunlight, and those who wear sunscreenneed to supplement Vitamin D in theirdiets• Adequate blood levels for Vitamin Drange between 50-125 nanomoles perliter (nmpol/L)• -60% of the population is "D deficient"(Zellman,WebMD)

D3Natal -Vitamin D

• Vitamin D3 vs.Vitamin D2 (Key Studies)

° "Vitamin D2 is Much Less Effective than Vitamin D3" (Arman, Hollis, Heaney 2004)

Conclusion: Vitamin D2 potency is less than 1/3 the potency of Vitamin D3 with a shorter duration of action

D3Natal -Vitamin D3

° "Vitamin D3 Is More Potent than Vitamin D2 in Humans" (Heaney, Recker, Grote, Horst, Armas 201 I)

Conclusion: Vitamin D3 is ~87% more potent in raising and maintaining serum 25(OH)D concentrations and produces 2-3 fold greater storage of Vitamin D3 over D2

D3Natal-Vitamin D3

• Low levels of Vitamin D during pregnancy are associated with poor fetal/infant skeletal formation and growth as well as poor tooth mineralization

• Over 50 Universities, Hospitals and Clinics utilize Bio-Tech Vitamin D3 for their research• Vitamin D3 is not a Rx. Vitamin D2 is available via Rx only

D3Natal -Vitamin D3

• Lactation and Vitamin D3

• A reassessment of current Vitamin D intake for mothers is critical as current recommendations result in a high degree of Vitamin D deficiency, especially in the African American population.• Current recommendations of 200-400 ILJ/d for pregnant and lactating women are grossly inadequate, especially in minority populations. A growing body a research suggests that dosing with over 2000 ID/d is required to maintain robust normal levels.• Studies that introduce high doses ofVitamin D (2000IU to 4000IU) improve the nutritional status of both mother and infant.

D3Natal-Folic Acid

• Folic acid is very important in embryonic development• The RDA for Folic Acid is 600mcg. However, new research and March of Dimes recommend I mg Folic acid daily• Folic Acid is involved in the synthesis of DMA and in cell division• Insufficient dietary folic acid increases the risk of birth defects, especially neural tube defects (NTD) such as spina bifida and anencephaly• 3000 children born annually with NTD in the U.S. alone

D3Natal-Folic Acid

• Quatrefolic® acid is the form of folic acid used in Bio Tech's D3Natal• Quatrefolic® by Gnosis Labs is the ACTIVE form of L-Methylfolate (L-5-methyltetrahydrafoIate)• A form of Vitamin B, L-5-MTHF provides the active form of folic acid. ~40% of the population cannot adequately synthesize basic folic acid

D3Natal-Folic Acid• Quatrefolic® is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and is structurally analogous to the reduced and active form of folic acid.• Developed by Gnosis S.p.A, it represents the fourth generation folate providing greater stability, higher water solubility and multiple ingredient formulation flexibility compared to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt guaranteeing an improved bioavailability.

D3Natal –Folic Acid• Choosing Quatrefolic® as a source of folate presents several advantages both for manufacturer of dietary ingredients and for the consumer of supplements:• Provides the active form of folate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, naturally present in the body and available for its biological action.• Has been recognized GRAS. Gnosis has undertakenseveral in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical and clinical studies to characterize and guarantee the safety profile of the product.• Is a Gnosis proprietary product with pending patent and trademark applications guaranteeing a wide range of use and covering all areas of folate application.

D3Natal- Folic Acid

• Is produced according to cGMP guaranteeing a reproducible quality profile.• Glucosamine, as a salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate does not come from animal sources and the product is suitable for vegetarian consumption.• Higher bioavailability and improved water solubility showed by Quatrefolic® respect to calcium salt open new perspectives and uses for combinations and formulations with vitamins and minerals both for dietary supplements and Food & Beverage industry.

D3Natal - Iron• Iron deficiency during pregnancy is associatedwith adverse birth outcomes, particularly, ifpresent during early gestation. Iron supplementsare widely recommended during pregnancy, butevidence of their benefit in relation to infantoutcomes is not established.• Mainly for the benefit of the mother, a smallpercentage of births end in post-partumhemorrhage

D3 Natal - Iron• Even before you're pregnant, your body needs° It's essential for making hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to other cells.° It's an important component of myoglobin (a protein that helps supply oxygen to your muscles), collagen (a protein in bone, cartilage, and other connective tissue), and many enzymes.° It helps you maintain a healthy immune system.

D3Natal - Iron

• During pregnancy you need a lot more of this crucial mineral. Here's why: The amount of blood in your body increases during pregnancy until

you have almost 50 percent more blood than usual, so you need more iron to make more hemoglobin.

You need extra iron for your growing baby and placenta, especially in the second and third trimesters.

D3Natal-IronMany women need more because they start their pregnancy

with insufficient stores of iron. Iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy is associated with

preterm delivery, low birth weight, and infant mortality.

Omega Oil

Bio Tech "Omega Oil" contains: Marine Lipid Concentrate (50% Omega-3) as: ° EPA (Eicosapantaenoic Acid): 300mg ° DMA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): 200mg ° Omega-3 Fatty Acids: SOOmg *Derived from fish: sardines, anchovies, mackerel

Omega OilOmega-3s are a family of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty

acids that are essential nutrients for health and development.

Unfortunately, these are not synthesized by the human body and therefore must be obtained from diet or supplementation. However, the typical American diet is greatly lacking in Omega—3's.

Research has confirmed that adding EPA and DMA to the diet of pregnant women has a positive effect on visual and cognitive development of the baby.

Omega Oil Research indicates that the two most beneficial omega-3s

are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Although EPA and DHA naturally occur together and work together in the body, studies show that each fatty acid has unique benefits.

EPA supports the heart, immune system, and inflammatory response. DHA supports the brain, eyes, and central nervous system which is why it is uniquely important for pregnant and lactating women.

Omega Oil Omega-3s have been found to be essential for both

neurological and early visual development of the baby. This omega-3 dietary deficiency is compounded by the fact that pregnant women become depleted in omega-3s, when the fetus uses omega-3s for its nervous system development. Omega-3s are also used after birth to make breast milk. With each subsequent pregnancy, mothers are further depleted.

Studies have also shown that higher consumption of omega-3s may reduce the risk of allergies in infants.

Omega Oil

• Omega-3 fatty acids have positive effects on the pregnancy itself. Increased intake of EPA and DMA has been shown to prevent pre-term labor and delivery, lower the risk of preeclampsia and may increase birth weight.

• Omega-3 deficiency also increases the mother's risk for depression. This may explain why postpartum mood disorders may become worse and begin earlier with subsequent pregnancies.

Lacto-Pectin (Probiotic)

• Formulated with eight Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotic strains• Supports a healthy balance of good intestinal bacteria when taken daily*• Beneficial to overall digestive and immune health*• May help control digestive disruptions caused by diet, travel, or stress*

Lacto-Pectin (Probiotic) Lacto-Pectin Probiotic Formula The human gastrointestinal tract is home to trillions of bacterial

organisms. For healthy individuals, these bacteria perform many helpful functions, including digesting food, producing vitamins and hormones, and regulating the immune system. However, the natural balance of good bacteria can be disrupted by changes in diet and routine, travel, or stress. Bio-Tech Lacto-Pectin is formulated to supply beneficial bacteria, known as probiotics, that can help maintain balance and support overall digestive health.* While many probiotic formulas contain only one strain (type) of bacteria, Lacto-Pectin includes eight probiotic strains to provide maximum support.*
