Nestlé is expanding its Materna range with a pioneering staged nutrition approach designed to support women's health from pre-conception through pregnancy and post-partum recovery. Building on last year's successful launch of Materna Expert Preconception Support, the range now includes Materna Expert Healthy Pregnancy and Materna Expert Post-Birth Recovery. These patented solutions deliver science-based nutrition tailored for every stage of the motherhood journey. They help prepare the body for pregnancy, boost maternal nutrition, and provide long-term benefits for babies. Backed by more than a decade of research, the solutions are supported by 17 patents and more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, which underscores the scientific depth and Nestlé's commitment to long-term research. Materna Expert Preconception Support and Materna Expert Healthy Pregnancy were informed by findings from the NiPPeR clinical trial. This study followed over 1 700 women from pre-conception through pregnancy and post-birth to test a unique nutritional blend with probiotics, myo-inositol and vitamins1. Secondary analysis showed a positive impact on maternal micronutrient status from pre-conception to delivery, peripartum health outcomes for mothers, and an association with reduced risk of high weight gain and obesity in children by age two. |
