The new products include CitraNatal DHA, CitraNatal 90 DHA and CitraNatal Rx all of which are designed to improve the nutritional status of women and their babies. CitraNatal Rx is said to be a multivitamin prescription drug containing a balanced dose of vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, calcium citrate and iron, as well as a stool softener.
CitraNatal DHA provides women with all the prenatal essentials of CitraNatal Rx, and also includes, 250 mg of Martek’s life’s DHA, a patented, plant-based form of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, which has been shown to improve the pre- and postnatal neurological, visual and nervous system development of children.
Neil Walsdorf, Jr, president of Mission Pharmacal, said: “We are proud to bring the new CitraNatal family of products to market to offer healthcare providers’ specific options to improve the nutritional status of their pregnant patients.”
