It is not uncommon to hear about vitamin supplements for women, especially those aimed at pregnant and breastfeeding women. There are so many options and so much information out there that it becomes difficult to know what is truly reliable or not. Because of a series of doubts that many women have, today we’re going to talk about Natele, a supplement that promises to supply all vitamin requirements so that a pregnant woman can maintain good health during this hectic period of her life. Want to know more about what it is, how it works, who it is recommended for, as well as user experiences? Then read this article to the end and find out all about it!
What is Natele?
Natele is a vitamin supplement created to cover all deficiencies of both vitamins and minerals that a pregnant woman may have1. Produced by Bayer, the supplement is mainly rich in vitamin A, B complex vitamins, C, D, and E. However, its formulation includes many other types of minerals that are also important for the health of pregnant women and their developing babies. It is a fairly common type of supplement and not hard to find. However, it is always important that a pregnant woman only takes it after discussing with a doctor her real vitamin needs. That is the safest way to make sure she will not experience any side effects or even allergic reactions to the product. The supplement comes in gelatin capsules and should be taken orally, usually once a day. However, the number of capsules you should take can also vary according to medical evaluation, which is another reason why seeing a specialist is important.
Who is Natele recommended for?
Natele is a well-known supplement for pregnant women, but there are other situations where it can be taken as well. Women who are breastfeeding, for example, can also take Natele to ensure all the necessary vitamins and minerals for the baby’s nutrition are present in their milk. It is also a supplement recommended for those who are in a pre-pregnancy period, that is, those who are trying to conceive.
What is Natele used for?
As we said earlier, Natele is exactly meant to supply any deficiencies of vitamins or minerals that a woman may have during pregnancy, to assist with better lactation, or even to ensure all the necessary nutrients for the early stages of a pregnancy free from issues related to vitamin or mineral deficits2. It is worth noting that Natele is not intended to increase a woman’s fertility, but only to ensure her body is fully ready to start a pregnancy without any nutritional deficits. So, if a woman is looking for medication to increase fertility, she should consult her doctor and have the necessary tests done to be properly advised.
Natele Composition
Natele is basically composed of:
- Retinol
- Cholecalciferol
- Tocopherol acetate
- Ascorbic acid
- Riboflavin
- Nicotinamide
- Pyridoxine hydrochloride
- Cyanocobalamin
- Iron
- Zinc
In addition to these, the supplement also contains other additional elements such as soybean oil, saturated fatty acids, distilled water, and calcium.
Natele Contraindications
There are some cases where you should not take Natele. The main one is when a woman has pernicious anemia, because its components may end up having negative effects3. In addition, women who are hypersensitive to any of the components of Natele should also avoid it, as they may suffer from issues such as kidney failure, excessive elimination of calcium in urine, excess calcium in the blood, among various other problems that may arise. Also, Natele is not recommended for people with excessive vitamin A or D in their body, as these effects may also occur. That is exactly why talking to your doctor before taking any product, even if it is just a vitamin supplement, is extremely important. It is a way to ensure both your health and your baby’s. 
User Experiences
Reading experiences from people who have already used this product can be very useful for anyone unsure about using Natele or whether it will really meet your needs. That’s why we have selected some of the most interesting testimonials about it so you can draw your own conclusions. The user tamirisvh, on the motherhood forum Babycenter, reports that after starting the supplement, she noticed constipation and very yellow urine. Another user named Mamãe_2019_aos19 said she didn’t have any such issues, although she was bothered by the smell of the capsule. On the other hand, the user Criss09 said her urine was a little more yellow, but aside from that she didn’t have any negative issues using Natele. When you research, you’ll probably come across many reports of women who responded well to the supplement and others who didn’t adapt to it very well. This is very common, and having these testimonials is important so you can anticipate what your experience might be, as we mentioned earlier.
Where to find Natele?
As you can see, Natele is a relatively well-known supplement, meaning it is not difficult to find for sale. All the main pharmacy chains in Brazil carry Natele packages. They are available in packs of 14 or 28 capsules, and for this reason the price can vary between R$ 14.00 and R$ 45.00. Other factors that may influence the price include the region where you live and even the store where you are buying. So it’s always important to do a good search to get the supplement at the best price for you.
Conclusion
As you’ve noticed, Natale has some specific features compared to other vitamin supplements. That’s why we believe it’s so important to talk about this type of supplement, share the experiences of people who have already used it, and allow you to draw your own conclusions from this information. Of course, a conversation with your doctor is always essential, because this is the most reliable way to ensure your health and make the decision about which supplement to take, or if you even need to take one. Pregnancy really does bring up a lot of questions, but seeking out information to help you through this process means you are on the right track.
