{"title":"Pregnancy Vitamins","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Pregnancy Vitamins?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePregnancy vitamins (often called prenatal vitamins) are dietary supplements designed to support increased nutrient needs before conception, during pregnancy and sometimes while breastfeeding. They typically contain key vitamins and minerals such as folate\/folic acid, iron, iodine, vitamin D, B vitamins and sometimes omega-3 fatty acids like DHA. Prenatal formulas are created to help support the mother’s well-being and the baby’s normal growth and development. Because nutrient needs and tolerances can change during pregnancy, pregnancy vitamins are usually formulated with carefully balanced doses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Pregnancy Vitamins\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePregnancy vitamins help support normal fetal development and maternal health by providing nutrients that are commonly needed in higher amounts during pregnancy. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and is especially important early on for normal neural tube development. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, which can be relevant as blood volume increases. Iodine supports normal thyroid function and contributes to normal growth and cognitive development of the child. Vitamin D supports normal immune function and plays a role in maintaining normal bones and teeth. Prenatal vitamins are most effective when used alongside a varied, nutrient-rich diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses of Pregnancy Vitamins\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePregnancy vitamins are typically taken once daily with water, often with food to reduce nausea. Many women start prenatal vitamins before pregnancy when planning to conceive, especially to ensure adequate folate intake. Some prenatal formulas include DHA or separate omega-3 supplements, which are often taken with meals. Because iron absorption can be reduced by coffee, tea and calcium, iron-containing prenatal vitamins may be taken at a different time from these.

Iron can cause constipation, nausea or stomach discomfort, and some prenatal vitamins have a strong taste or smell that may worsen morning sickness. If a product causes nausea, taking it with food or switching to a different formula may help. It’s important not to take multiple supplements that contain the same nutrients (especially vitamin A, iodine or iron) unless advised by a healthcare professional. Always consult a doctor or midwife to choose the most suitable prenatal supplement, especially if you have thyroid conditions, anemia, or other medical concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to Buy Pregnancy Vitamins in Estonia?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Estonia, \u003cb\u003epregnancy vitamins\u003c\/b\u003e can be purchased from our e-shop fits.ee.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"folic-acid-400mcg-90-tablets","title":"Folic acid 400mcg 90 tablets","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat folic acid is and why to take it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolic acid (vitamin B9) is one of the most important components of our bodies. B9 plays a role in all biological processes that affect the maintenance and repair of cells. The vitamin is usually obtained from food. It is soluble in water. This means that it is easily excreted from the body, so it needs to be replenished often. If you are deficient or not getting enough vitamins, this supplement can be helpful to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUseful properties of folic acid\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolic acid is necessary for the production of red blood cells and leukocytes in the bone marrow, as well as for the conversion of carbohydrates into energy and the synthesis of ATP. It is involved in the metabolism and production of amino acids (protein elements), as well as in the generation of DNA. This is important for cells that undergo rapid renewal, such as red blood cells, white blood cells (involved in the functioning of the immune system), skin cells, and intestinal cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the proliferation of maternal tissues during pregnancy, the needs of women are broader.
