Anmum^TM Materna is recommended for women planning for pregnancy and pregnant women. It contains Folate, Gangliosides, DHA, Inulin, Probio DR10TM, Iron, Calcium, and other nutrients to support pregnancy nutritional needs. 

Ideally Anmum^TM Materna should be consumed as soon as pregnancy is planned (preferably 3 months prior to the conception) and continued until delivery.    

Gangliosides are a type of fat which are highly concentrated in the brain, particularly the part that is responsible for complex thinking, planning and decision making. Study showed that gangliosides help in brain cell connections – and this is important for memory and learning. 

DHA is a type of Omega 3 fatty acids, which is an important nutrient that can be found abundantly in the brain and eyes. Study also showed that DHA plays an important role in the development of brain and eyes.

Probio DR10^TM (Bifidobacterium lactis HN019) is a type of probiotic. Probiotic is the good bacteria which help to maintain a good gut environment. A good digestive system supports optimal nutrient absorption. 

Anmum^TM Materna Plain comes with no added sugars, however, it still contains the natural-occurring lactose that provides the natural sweetness. Anmum^TM Materna also comes with chocolate flavour, which is less sweet.

It is recommended to consume 2 glasses each day. This will provide 100% of important nutrients such as Folate and Calcium and other important nutrients like Gangliosides, DHA, Inulin, Probio DR10TM, iron and other nutrients required for pregnancy and foetal development. If you only consume one glass a day you will not receive full benefits of Anmum^TM Materna and unable to meet 100% of the nutritional requirements of some important nutrients (e.g folate & calcium).

It is recommended to prepare (36g – 3 scoops for plain, 42g – 3 scoops for chocolate) with previously boiled warm water and stir. To maintain the number of probiotic, the temperature of the water should not be more than 45°C.

It is not advisable to store the prepared Anmum^TM Materna in the fridge, as this may trigger food safety concerns (e.g bacteria). Hence, it is always advisable to consume the prepared milk solution as soon as possible once prepared.

Some tips in managing morning sickness are:  

• Eat dry toast or crackers in the morning before you get out of bed to avoid moving around on an empty stomach.  

• Eat five or six “mini meals” a day to ensure that your stomach is never empty.  

• Eat frequent bites of foods like nuts, fruits, or crackers.  

There are many factors that can cause a spike in blood sugar level.  
Generally, milk and dairy products are low in glycemic index (GI). Low GI foods are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolized and cause a lower and slower rise in blood sugar. Anmum^TM Materna Plain is formulated with No added sugars.
