Pregnancy & breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are phases in a woman's life in which the nutritional requirements of the female body change. In order to stay fit and to give your growing baby the best possible health, you should, in consultation with your doctor, pay more attention to the sufficient intake of critical nutrients.
In order to cover the increased basic need for micro and macronutrients, we recommend that you eat more sprouts during pregnancy and breastfeeding. During this special time, a woman's taste can change. With a selection of over 30 different types of sprouts, you will find the right sprout for every taste. Try them for yourself to see how your body reacts to each unique flavor.
The most important nutrients that you should pay particular attention to are:
- Folic acid (for the nervous system)
- Protein (mainly from plants, as it is more easily usable for the body)
- Iodine (thyroid)
- Vitamin D (immune system)
- Calcium (physical growth, especially the bones and teeth)
- Iron (blood formation, immune system, performance)
Sprouts that particularly stimulate milk production during breastfeeding are:
- Alfalfa
- Fenugreek
- Dill
- Spice-mix
Please note: Sprouts are not a substitute for dietary supplements in the event of acute nutrient deficiency. Sprouts are there to meet the daily increased basic need for nutrients and life energy in a uniquely fresh and natural way.

In order to stay fit and strong as a woman, and in order to give the growing life inside of you the best possible health, you should, in consultation with your medical team, pay more attention to the adequate intake of essential (critical) nutrients.
During this special time of pregnancy, a woman's taste can change. With a selection of over 30 different types of sprouts, you will find the right sprout for every taste. Try for yourself and watch how your body reacts to the different sprouts. Each sprout has a different taste because the composition of the ingredients is different. Sprouts bring diversity back to your plate in every season.
