Oh Mama Finally a Nutrition Bar for Pregnant Women



March 31 2005Addressing a void in the market for healthy and convenient foods aimed at pregnant women Beth Vincent CEO and Cofounder of Vincent Foods has created the Oh Mama nutrition bar Oh Mama is the first nutrition bar formulated specifically to meet the needs of women who are trying to conceive who are pregnant or who are breastfeeding

Getting the proper nutrition during pregnancy is critical Doing so however is often a challenge for women who are busy tired or simply confused about what is best to eat Oh Mama nutrition bars are a convenient healthy and delicious solution The Oh Mama nutrition bar delivers peace of mind to women as it contains DHA an omega3 fatty acid as well as 14 vitamins and minerals recommended by the National Academy of Sciences for pregnant women in a tasty lowfat snack
nbspnbspnbspnbsp
Not only is Oh Mama the first bar specifically designed for expectant and new mothers it is one of few foods available with supplemental DHA DHA has attracted attention in the news as a large and building body of research shows that this fatty acid transferred from mother to child during pregnancy is critical for a baby's brain visual and central nervous system development Unfortunately there are not many sources of DHA in the typical American diet Pregnant women in particular do not get enough of this important nutrient because they are cautioned to limit consumption of certain types of fish a major source of DHA due to concerns about mercury intake

The inspiration for Oh Mama came from Beth Vincent's frustration in finding convenient healthy and satisfying foods during her three pregnancies Like most pregnant women Beth became hungry at inconvenient times and was forced to eat what was readily available Sometimes that meant eating a poptart french fries or crackers from a vending machine When Beth's doctor found out about some of the foods Beth was eating the doctor recommended Beth eat more nutritious snacks for the health of the developing baby The problem was that most nutritious snack foods just weren't convenient to bring to work or on errands Beth saw that many of her friends also had a difficult time finding healthy and convenient foods to eat while pregnant and she decided to pursue a solution

I worked with doctors and nutritionists to design a bar that makes it both easy and enjoyable for women to get the proper nutrition at this time in their lives In formulating this product we looked at what an average pregnant woman eats We found that even with the help of a prenatal vitamin certain key nutrient levels were inadequate Oh Mama is meant to help those of us who can't eat the perfect pregnancy diet explains Beth Vincent

Dr Suzanne Trupin a Board Certified ObstetricianGynecologist Professor at the University of Illinios Medical School and CEO of Women's Health Practice in Champaign Illinois has this to say about Oh MamaI am excited to be able to offer the Oh Mama nutrition bar to my patients I only wish the bar had been available when I was pregnant with my children

Dr Barbara Luke ScD MPH 2005 recipient of March of Dimes Agnes Higgins Award in Maternal Nutrition and best selling author on maternal nutrition states As a nutritionist specializing in maternal and child health I am always on the lookout for foods that help women get the right nutrition The Oh Mama bar is a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals for expectant and breastfeeding mothers This unique product provides a convenient and delicious source of crucial nutrients often lacking in women's diets I wholeheartedly recommend Oh Mama bars
