Nutritional supplement for moms
MANILA, Philippines -Abbott recently launched Similac Mom, the most complete nutritional supplement for expectant and breastfeeding mothers, to support both baby’s optimal development and mom’s health. Similac Mom provides mothers all the essential vitamins and minerals to support the nutrition of a developing baby and themselves, both during and after pregnancy.
“Complete nutrition during pregnancy and lactation is a key element to good health for both the mother and the baby. Similac Mom complements the nutrition that women and babies would be getting from their diet,” said Dr. Jose Rodolfo Dimaano, regulatory and medical director of Abbott Nutrition International – Philippines.
Similac Mom provides women with a drink that can be consumed as a protein-rich snack. Studies have shown that if consumed throughout the day, it may help alleviate nausea and vomiting that often accompany pregnancy.
Enhancing the nutrient value of a well-rounded diet and prenatal vitamins, Similac Mom contains less than one gram of fat and only 126 calories per serving to help meet increased nutrient needs during pregnancy and lactation without excess calories. It is also suitable for women following a diabetes management plan (one serving of Similac Mom is one carbohydrate exchange).
