Fresh ginger juice is added to improve digestion and help with morning sickness. Bamboo leaf (the world's richest source of organic silica) helps the developing fetus build strong bones.

Mother to Be also provides reishi mushrooms and lycii fruit, two of the worlds most prized tonic herbs. These herbs—which are really foods—have been recommended during pregnancy for thousands of years in Asia. They build strong blood and support virtually all the body's organ systems, so that every type of cellular function is strengthened. Most importantly, they restore the vital “Essence” of the Kidney System (the “energy” we pass onto our children at birth) after delivery. Because of this, they help produce stronger, happier children, while also helping to prevent mothers from being ”drained” during gestation and delivery.

Exercise guidelines

Exercise at least three times a week is preferable to intermittent activity. Competitive activities should be discouraged.

Since 1981, however, the best supplements have been fortified with energy packed green foods (spirulina, barley grass juice, kelp, etc). These products have drawn rave reviews from people throughout the country, because their green foods provide vast amounts of energy, so that cells can conduct metabolic reactions more efficiently.

limitations. While they can support healthy cells, they do little to strengthen those that have been damaged by free radicals, Thus, the team that first
developed them (Pat Bailey and Jerry Cochern) never quit working on improvements. Now, they have created the world's first Superior Tonic Multiples, which are light years beyond anything else that has ever been available. Mother to Be and Mother & Child are the only entrants
in the entire field of natal nutrition to provide the cellular strengthening power of Superior Tonic Herbs.
