Vitamins and Minerals for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

During pregnancy there is an increase in the needs for vitamins, minerals and trace elements . It is a period of life in which special attention must be paid to diet , since the foods eaten by the mother are the baby's main source of nutrients.

This is why it is recommended that the pregnant woman's diet be supplemented with food supplements rich in vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) that have excellent tolerability and a composition adapted to the recommendations of the experts in gynecology and obstetrics.

Both due to the changes that your body experiences , as well as the demands of the fetus for its development , the help of vitamins and minerals that favor the process of cell division is recommended.

Food supplements with DHA from microalgae for normal brain and visual development of the fetus . With Folic Acid that helps prevent neural tube defects in the fetus . With Iodine for the correct cognitive and neurological development of the fetus.

The same happens with the breastfeeding period . The nutritional needs of the mother during breastfeeding increase. For example, special care must be taken to ensure adequate intake of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA . Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the fetus and breastfed infant.

At week 13 , the vital organs of the future baby are already formed and the baby begins a phase of enormous growth . That is why a contribution of well-selected ingredients is recommended , such as DHA, folic acid, vitamin A, iron, calcium, choline, lutein and other nutrients to help reduce tiredness and fatigue, for the maintenance of bones.

The amount of milk you produce, its composition and nutrients are largely influenced by your lifestyle and diet . Additionally, breastfeeding your baby places demands on your body , increasing the energy you need and micronutrient needs.
