Description
PROHEX-MOM is a nutritional protein powder formulated with a Whey Protein Base, Calcium 800 mg, Magnesium 200 mg, Copper 2 mg, Iron 20 mg, Zinc 10 mg and Manganese 2 mg in Kesar-Badam flavour. It is designed to provide dietary protein and selected minerals for nutritional support during periods of increased nutritional requirements.
The formulation may be considered as part of nutritional support during pregnancy and lactation, general debility, recovery and growth, when recommended by a healthcare professional. Iron is particularly important during pregnancy because requirements increase substantially, while calcium, magnesium and zinc also contribute to normal physiological functions.

Uses of PROHEX-MOM
PROHEX-MOM may be used as a nutritional supplement when additional dietary protein and selected minerals are required.
Depending on individual nutritional needs, it may provide support for:
- Nutritional support during pregnancy
- Nutritional support during lactation
- Dietary protein supplementation
- Nutritional support during periods of general debility
- Support during recovery and convalescence
- Nutritional support for growing children when appropriate for their age
- Iron and mineral supplementation when additional intake is required
- Nutritional support following surgery as advised by a healthcare professional
Pregnancy and lactation increase the importance of adequate intake of several nutrients. However, the appropriate supplement depends on the individual’s diet, medical history, laboratory findings and healthcare professional’s advice.
Key Benefits of PROHEX-MOM
- Protein Support: The whey protein base provides dietary protein to complement normal food intake.
- Calcium Support: Provides 800 mg of calcium, an essential mineral involved in bone and teeth structure, muscle function and nerve signalling.
- Magnesium Support: Provides 200 mg of magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle, nerve and metabolic functions.
- Iron Support: Provides 20 mg of iron, an essential component of haemoglobin and important for oxygen transport and normal growth.
- Zinc Support: Provides 10 mg of zinc, which contributes to normal cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, immune function and growth.
- Copper & Manganese: Supplies copper and manganese, minerals involved in normal enzymatic and metabolic processes.
- Pregnancy & Lactation Nutrition: Can complement dietary nutrient intake when additional protein and minerals are required under professional guidance.
- Kesar-Badam Flavour: Provides a convenient flavoured formulation for regular nutritional supplementation.
How PROHEX-MOM Works
The whey protein base supplies amino acids that the body uses for tissue maintenance, muscle protein synthesis and other normal physiological functions.
Calcium contributes to bone and teeth structure and also supports muscle contraction, nerve transmission and other physiological processes.
Magnesium acts as a cofactor in numerous biochemical reactions and supports normal muscle, nerve and metabolic functions.
Iron forms part of haemoglobin and myoglobin and therefore plays an important role in oxygen transport and normal cellular functions. Iron requirements increase during pregnancy.
Zinc supports normal cellular metabolism, protein and DNA synthesis, immune function and growth. Copper and manganese also contribute to enzyme activity and normal metabolic processes.
Therefore, PROHEX-MOM combines protein with selected minerals to provide broad nutritional support.
Common Side Effects of PROHEX-MOM
Nutritional protein and mineral supplements are generally well tolerated when used according to product directions. However, some individuals may experience:
- Stomach discomfort
- Bloating
- Gas
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Changes in bowel movements
- Metallic taste
- Headache
Iron supplements can commonly cause gastrointestinal discomfort and darker stools. Excessive intake of calcium or minerals can also cause adverse effects, particularly when combined with other supplements.
If persistent digestive symptoms or an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek appropriate medical advice.
Important Safety Information
- Use PROHEX-MOM according to the product label or advice of a healthcare professional.
- Do not use the product as a replacement for a balanced and varied diet.
- Pregnancy and lactation require individualized nutritional assessment. Do not assume that a protein-mineral supplement replaces a prescribed prenatal or postnatal supplement.
- Iron deficiency anaemia should be diagnosed and managed by a healthcare professional. This product should not be presented as a standalone treatment for anaemia.
- Do not take additional iron, calcium, magnesium or zinc supplements without checking with a healthcare professional, as total intake may become unnecessarily high.
- Calcium can interfere with the absorption of certain medicines, including levothyroxine and some antibiotics. Appropriate separation may be required.
- Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, vitamins and mineral supplements you take.
- Individuals with kidney disease, kidney stones, disorders affecting calcium levels or other conditions requiring mineral or protein restrictions should seek professional advice before use.
- Children should use nutritional supplements only when appropriate for their age and according to the product directions or professional advice.
- If persistent weakness, unexplained weight loss, poor appetite or symptoms of anaemia continue, seek medical evaluation rather than relying only on supplementation.
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
- Store and use the product according to the instructions printed on the packaging.
WHO recognizes iron and folic acid supplementation as an important intervention for improving maternal iron status and reducing anaemia during pregnancy. However, the specific nutritional formulation and dose should be selected according to individual requirements and applicable clinical guidance.
