Petit CN Base - Neutral | LCN
Petit CN Base is a complete micronutrient formula designed for periods of increased nutritional need: pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childhood growth from age 3 to 17. It combines 23 vitamins and minerals in their active, bioavailable forms with short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) and Saccharomyces boulardii.
The formula's calcium, vitamin D and manganese contribute to normal bone growth and development. Iron and zinc contribute to normal cognitive function, and vitamin D, zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system. The formula also supplies calcium L-methylfolate: folic acid intake increases maternal folate status, and low maternal folate is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. This beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 400 µg folic acid, from at least one month before to three months after conception.
Available in neutral flavour, with no additives, added flavourings or colourings

Important Information
- Keep out of the reach of infants and children. Overdose of iron can be fatal for children under 6 years of age.
- May intensify the yellow colour of urine, due to vitamin B2. This effect is harmless.
- In the first few days, some individuals may experience bloating and gas due to the fibre (scFOS) and its use by the body's beneficial flora. These symptoms are temporary and typically resolve after 5–7 days as the bowel adapts.
- Does not need to be refrigerated, but is best stored in a cool, dry place away from abrupt temperature changes.
