What is Baby in a Box?

cute baby pictureThere are so many ways to prepare your body for carrying a new life into this world that every woman should know about.  There are tools you should have to have a perfect pregnancy, wonderful birth and healthy baby.  If you are even the slightest interested in having a baby in your lifetime or know someone who is, I invite you to please read on!

 

I am a naturopathic physician with emphasis on neurology in my practice (in other words, I am a licensed doctor who prefers and is trained to use natural remedies to treat my patients' brains).  So, why am I so passionate about healthy babies and giving women the choice to have a normal healthy pregnancy?  In short, I have a knack for it.  My first program was called Smart Baby Pregnancy Prep, which was designed to give mothers the optimal nutrition and lifestyle for nourishing a new brain in the making.  Many women came to me that had problems conceiving.  From PCOS, hormone imbalance issues and repeated miscarriages, to physical obstacles involving malshapen uteruses, prolapse or premature ovarian failure walked through the doors of my clinic, each time yielding a beautiful baby.  Sadly, many of these women had been told that they simply weren't capable of having children.  With my many experiences and scientific background, I assembled the best nutritional and herbal protocol for every woman trying to conceive.  This is the basic box of everything your body will need, in addition to a healthy lifestyle and positive, calm attitude, to have a smart, healthy baby.

 

My Findings on Supplements:

Do you know what is truly in the pill you are taking?  I want you to ask yourself the following questions:

 

Do you know it could be contaminated with machinery lubricants, heavy metals, purposely added components for color, gluing and synthetic preservatives?  Did you know that exposure to these can actually do much more harm than good?

 

Do you know that not all supplements are quality controlled and some are manufactured in other countries with poor standards?

 

Do you know that we are now finding that 1/3 of the population has a genetic variant that causes synthetic folic acid to be toxic and that the active natural form is actually much safer?

 

Do you know the difference between cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin and methylcobalamin  and which is best for your developing baby?

 

Do you know that your brain can physically shrink during pregnancy to feed your infant's brain and that certain fats are essential to avoid this?

 

Do you know that capsules are better than tablets and often taking tablets is useless as they are not digested?

 

Do you know that fish oil in the store can be contaminated with mercury, untested and rancid, releasing harmful free radicals into your body?

 

I could continue, but I know you get the idea.  Every single nutrient in the Baby in a Box pack has been 3rd party tested, professionally encapsulated and uncontaminated.  Each one is in the optimal form, giving you the best for your future baby.  Many times patients report feeling much better overall themselves when starting the Baby in a Box program just due to the quality change in vitamins.  It's a considerable benefit especially if you lack energy and I'm about to tell you that caffeine increases miscarriage rate.  Fortunately, this box will give your body what it needs for the best nutrition and I hope to teach you the best ways to eat, live and enjoy this life because your baby will also learn these things from you.  Knowledge is important to pass on.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions about Baby in a Box

 

Can I take Baby in a Box while I am pregnant?

Yes!  The product is designed to take 6 months prior and throughout pregnancy. The one exception to this is if you have a known clotting disorder, in which case the X-Factor may be switched for an alternative.  This is more of a precaution based in theory than one on evidence.

 

Can I just get the prenatal vitamins from you?

Yes, you can partition out the box and get what you think is right for you, but know that we can't endorse other products you may find on the market.  For high quality products, you can also search our patient PureCaps Pro website.

 

My probiotics came with ice, but it was melted.  Are they still good to take?

Yes, the probiotics should be kept in your refrigerator once opened to keep them alive after they are exposed to air. The ice is just an added precaution in shipping and will likely be melted when it reaches you.

 

Why do my other vitamins make me nauseas and these don't?

As mentioned, vitamins have difference forms and qualities.  You may be allergic to an additive or unable to break down your lower quality vitamins.  Testing is available for allergy and genetic defects involving folate and others upon request.

 

I'm running out of prenatals, but I'm still ok on the Optimal B.  Can I order separately?

Yes.  You can order supplements separately, but for shipping costs, we advise you to order 3-6 months in advance.  For the best results, take the products together if you possibly can.

 

If you want to know that you are doing everything you can for your unborn baby, click below to get started!  If you are having problems conceiving and need a consult, The Clover Clinic is currently accepting new patients at this time or consider consulting a licensed naturopathic physician in your area (see the AANP website for listings).  No program is guaranteed, including this one, but given my past results with others and in starting my own family, I recommend these products to increase your chances of bringing a healthy baby into the world.  Don't wait; it takes at least 6 months to fully eliminate nutritional deficiencies and prepare your body for carrying a child.

BUY NOW

 

After a few years of success stories, I realized that I had a knack for helping women have healthy babies!  This is the core set of products that I feel comfortable recommending to all women who are trying to conceive (recommended 6 months preparation to optimally replenish your body) and those who already have and are looking for a physician designed program.  There are several levels of Baby in a Box to accommodate income levels, but please make 100% effort to do what's best for your unborn baby.  I promise that having an unhealthy baby or taxing your body to the extreme in order to feed your little one is much more costly.  This set of vitamins is also much better tolerated and the effects of pregnancy, such as nausea, mental fog and constipation, are often alleviated.

 

*note: to save on shipping, I recommend that you buy 3 or 6 months at a time. Buying 6 months is $75 additional savings as the 6th pack is half off when bought at one time.

 

Professional Prenatals

Not all prenatal vitamins are created equal!  This is in a capsule, not a tablet, with no added fillers or contaminants and contains all ingredients in their best and purest forms in appropriate levels for pregnancy preparation, pregnancy and lactation.

 

This professional blend has a blend of naturally active folate (not synthetic folic acid).  This is important because many people have a genetic predisposition to not tolerate synthetic folic acid well biochemically causing a wide array of problems.  It is very important in pregnancy, however, so please give your baby the best.  The B12, commonly cyanocobalamin (attached to cyanide) in lower quality prenatals, is methylcobalamin; the active and naturally found form.  The minerals in our Professional Prenatal have been selected for their bioavailability so that you are sure to absorb the mineral.  These minerals are dosed according to your pregnancy needs and include:

 

Calcium and magnesium are selected for healthy bone formation

Ferrochel chelated iron is the most bioavailable on the market and will not lead to constipation, a common side effect of most prenatals

Chelated Zinc is included to reduce the risk of preterm babies

Potassium Iodide was selected to stop undiagnosed suboptimal levels from yielding learning disabilities

   A one month supply to prepare for baby and nourish him/her throughout pregnancy.

Calm Mag

Magnesium, in the most bioavailable form of glycinate chelate, is very important in pregnancy and commonly found deficient due to today's poor nutrient dense soils and diet.  Both magnesium and glycine, the amino acid it is attached to, have a relaxing effect on the nervous system.  Magnesium also decreases muscle cramps and spasms, is heart protective, aids detoxification and PMS, promotes bone health, and prevents cardiac arrhythmias.  This is the form of magnesium least likely to loosen bowels, (magnesium in other forms is amazing for constipation and avoiding hemorrhoids in pregnancy)

Synergistic Probiotic

Probiotics taken in pregnancy have been shown to decrease allergies and chronic skin rashes like ezcema in babies.  They are also beneficial for your overall immune system and gut health. Regular consumption of probiotics may improve diarrhea, constipation, immune response, mucin production, dysbiosis, bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth, and should be considered during or after use of antibiotics.  Probiotics should be refrigerated and are perishable, so please keep them cold as soon as you get them.  In addition to the blend of health organisms that are important to take, the quality of the product is determined by its survival.  It must survive the manufacturing, shipping and stomach acid and is formulated to endure those obstacles to end up where you want them; in your intestines!
