FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is MAXMIL®?

MAXMIL® is a supplement containing 18 essential micronutrients designed to help meet the nutritional needs of women starting from preconception, throughout pregnancy, and during breastfeeding.

With so many ingredients in MAXMIL®, does it cause nausea?

No. In fact, MAXMIL® contains Vitamin B6, which helps prevent nausea in pregnant women.

Why does taking MAXMIL® help prevent Calcium Paradox?

MAXMIL® contains Coral Calcium, Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium, which work together to prevent Calcium Paradox.

Coral Calcium provides the necessary calcium for bone mineralization.
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption, ensuring adequate calcium availability in the blood.
Vitamin K2 directs calcium into the bones, preventing it from depositing in blood vessels.
Magnesium acts as an enzymatic cofactor in the activation of vitamin D3, contributes to the regulation of calcium metabolism, and supports calcium balance in bone tissue.

With this synergistic combination, calcium is absorbed effectively, directed into the bones, and prevented from accumulating in blood vessels.

What is 5-MTHF and why is it important for pregnancy?

5-MTHF (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) is the active form of folate (Vitamin B9), which can be directly utilized by the body without requiring conversion by the MTHFR enzyme. It is the most dominant form of folate found in maternal blood and umbilical cord blood, making it a vital source of folate for fetal development during pregnancy.

Is 5-MTHF better than regular folic acid?

Yes. 5-MTHF is already in its active form, which avoids the formation and accumulation of UMFA (Unmetabolized Folic Acid) in the blood. It can also be utilized by individuals with MTHFR polymorphisms and has higher bioavailability, resulting in plasma concentrations that are 2.3 times higher compared to folic acid.
