Prenatal Vitamins:Prenatal Vitamins are specially formulated multivitamins that make up for any nutritional deficiencies in the mothers diet during pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins may contain a number of vitamins and minerals, Their Folic acid, iron, and calcium content are the most important part of prenatal vitamins.

Folic Acid:The best prenatal vitamins will contain around 800mcg of folic acid, it is important for the growth of the unborn child. Folic acid is an essential nutrient during pregnancy.

Folic acid has shown to

  • Reduce risk of neural tube defects
  • Promote normal cell replication and growth
  • Support normal formation of building blocks of DNA
  • Promote the development of the fetal central nervous system
  • Reduce the risk of brain and spinal defects

Iron:The best prenatal vitamins will contain around 20mg of iron. Iron is a very important part of prenatal vitamins because about one-third of the mothers iron will be passed on to her developing baby. Deficiencies in iron can lead to severe birth defects.

Iron has shown to

  • Be Responsible for helping both the mother and baby’s blood to carry oxygen
  • Support fetal tissue growth

Calcium:Calcium needs to increase significantly during pregnancy, the best prenatal vitamins will contain at least 300mg of calcium. A large transfer of calcium happens between the mother and fetus throughout the pregnancy. The first three months the mother stores calcium in her bones, and the last three months when skeletal growth is at its peak the fetus draws from the mother’s calcium storage. Calcium deficiencies could harm the mother’s teeth and bones.

Calcium has shown to

  • Help the mother maintain normal blood pressure and water balance during pregnancy
  • Allow the baby’s bones and teeth to form

Why take Prenatal Vitamins:It can be difficult to get adequate nutritional intake in a normal diet, during pregnancy you will have higher nutritional needs for the developing baby. Prenatal vitamins are formulated to make certain the mother and her baby receive the right amount of nutrients. Prenatal vitamins are essential.

When to Take Prenatal Vitamins:It is recommended to take prenatal vitamins throughout the entire pregnancy, due to the fact that during the different stages in your pregnancy different vitamins and minerals will be needed. Prenatal vitamins can also continue to be taken after pregnancy due to its beneficial vitamin and mineral content.

Best Prenatal Vitamins:In tablet form prenatal vitamins are hard to consume and have very low efficiency for nutritional absorption. The best prenatal vitamins will be an isotonic-capable supplement, this allows the body to do less work to obtain maximum absorption of the nutrients and ensure you get the necessary vitamins and minerals. The isotonic state (Liquid that bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma, and tears) allows the nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and rapidly absorb into the blood stream.
