Progenyx & Pregnancy
Progenyx can contribute positively to both men and women before conceiving, helping to create excellent quality eggs and spermatozoa (gametogenesis). Research demonstrates that supporting gametogenesis with the Progenyx ingredients can improve fertility markers in both partners, increasing the probability of becoming pregnant and having a baby.
Furthermore, as the baby develops throughout the pregnancy, continued nutritional support ensures that the essential metabolites ensure your baby will prosper. Epigenetic adaptations continue throughout the 9 months and can last throughout your baby's life. Transcription errors at this stage can have profound and enduring impacts, so the biochemical pathways of the one-carbon cycle must have a continuous supply of the building blocks they need to reduce the chances of transcription errors, minimise opportunities for oxidative and reductive attack, and correct any misreads.
The most important 9 months
Enjoying a positive healthy pregnancy will give your child the best possible start to life. The nutritional state of each parent before conception and of the mother throughout pregnancy is key. Epigenetic changes during pregnancy can last throughout your child's life and even in their child's life too. How do we know?
During the Second World War the Dutch experienced a severe famine for the last six months. Babies who were exposed to famine conditions for the first 3 months were born at a normal weight but the incidence of obesity and mental impairment in later life was much higher than expected. Children whose last 3 months of gestation coincided with the famine were born lighter and smaller and remained so throughout their lives notwithstanding that they had access to as much food as they wanted.
Furthermore, the grandchildren of mothers who were malnourished in the first trimester exhibited some of the same traits as their parents, indicating that nutrition in the first 3 months can have a lasting trans-generational impact
