Food supplements for pregnancy: suitable natural solutions
Pregnancy is a time when women may have specific needs. Since simple nutrition is sometimes insufficient, deficiencies can occur, leading to symptoms such as excessive fatigue, irritability, anxiety, etc.
In order to respect the health of both mother and baby as much as possible, there are natural solutions to support pregnancy without risks, and meet the specific needs of pregnant women.
Why take food supplements during pregnancy?
Dietary supplements during pregnancy help support the health of both mother and baby and provide many essential nutrients in greater amounts than food alone.
The specific needs of pregnant women
It is common to develop nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy. Dietary intake of essential nutrients may be insufficient, and women may have difficulty eating properly due to nausea, for example.
As a result, certain key nutrients such as folic acid, iron or Omega-3, vitamin D or even calcium may be lacking:
- Folic acid: In case of deficiency, pregnancy presents a risk of prematurity and fetal growth retardation.
- Iron: Pregnant women need more iron during pregnancy; deficiencies, also known as iron deficiency anemia, can increase the risk of prematurity and fetal hypotrophy.
- Omega-3: they are essential for the formation of the baby's brain.
- Vitamin D: it is often lacking in pregnant women, especially at the end of pregnancy, which increases the lack of calcium in the fetus.
- Calcium: it is essential for the proper construction of the baby's skeleton, and has a positive effect on the risk of postpartum depression.
The benefits of natural supplements
Natural supplements have the advantage of being formulated with active ingredients free of harmful additives, ensuring safe care for the health of both mother and baby. Each treatment contains targeted supplements to address deficiencies and meet the specific needs of pregnant women.
