Who is it for?
In trimester three, your baby is undergoing crucial developments to prepare for birth. Bones are hardening, and vital organs are maturing rapidly. As your baby gains weight, you may feel increased pressure on your abdomen. Simultaneously, your body is gearing up for labour, with the cervix thinning and dilating. It's a period of anticipation and readiness for both you and your baby.
The demands on your body escalate in the third trimester, emphasising the need for targeted nutrition. Vital Essence 3 steps in to provide the right balance of Iron, Vitamin K2, Choline, Iodine, and Magnesium. Iron sustains your blood supply for the increased demands, while choline supports your baby's brain development. Vitamin K2 ensures proper blood clotting, and iodine maintains thyroid function, crucial for both mother and baby. Magnesium contributes to bone health and muscle function, preparing your body for the physical demands of labour.
Vital Essence 3 delivers high quality nutrients your body needs in carefully formulated doses. We understand that each trimester brings unique needs. That's why our supplements are backed by the latest clinical research, ensuring you and your baby receive the best support during this dynamic time.
Suitable for daily use by women during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Take 2 capsules per day with a cold drink, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Capsules can be taken together, or dose split during the day. Vital Essence 3 is safe to take alongside all Zita West pregnancy supplements (excluding Pregnancy Plan).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What sets Vital Essence 3 apart for the third trimester?
Vital Essence 3 is tailored for the transformative third trimester, addressing key developments in preparation for birth. It includes Iron, Vitamin K2, Choline, Iodine, and Magnesium to support you and your baby during this crucial phase.
-
My appetite has gone off, I don’t want to eat as much. May I take Vital Essence 3 instead of food?
No, you must maintain a good diet, especially one rich in carbohydrates, during the end of pregnancy. Carbohydrates will give you fuel for labour.
-
Why is there vitamin A in this product?
Vitamin A plays a pivotal role in supporting foetal development, contributing to essential processes such as embryonic growth, immune system function, and vision development. However, it's crucial to approach vitamin A intake during pregnancy with caution, as excessive levels can pose risks. In our supplements, we prioritise the safety of both the mother and the developing baby by utilising a carefully chosen form of vitamin A—Beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene serves as a safe precursor to vitamin A, and the body converts it into active vitamin A only as needed, ensuring that levels remain within the recommended, safe range. This approach allows us to provide the necessary support for foetal development without compromising safety.

In the third trimester, your baby is growing faster than ever, which means you need to ensure that your diet is packed with quality nutrients during this period. Vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D, Calcium, Omega-3 and more are required to support your growing baby.
Supporting your diet with additional vitamins in supplement form can help support you and your baby. However, we recommend taking a supplement formulates specifically for this trimester.
-
Can I stop taking prenatal vitamins at 36 weeks?
In the final phase of pregnancy, your child will grow faster than ever. The remaining weeks are vitally important for achieving full development.
Ensuring that your nutrient reserves are not depleted can help support both you and your baby in the final weeks of pregnancy.
We recommend taking nutritional supplements, alongside a balanced diet up to birth and beyond. All of the supplements in our Trimester 3 Support Pack have been designed to support the needs of you and your baby during this period. The pack also includes Vitamin D, which is now recommended for pregnant people throughout their pregnancy.
