Useful supplements to support your health during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Our products for pregnancy and breastfeeding contain exactly the ingredients that you urgently need during these times. The following supplements in particular:

• Folic acid: The additional intake of folic acid increases the maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for developing neural tube defects in the developing fetus.[1]
• Magnesium: The trace element is responsible for countless cell processes, even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Therefore, you should always consume it in sufficient quantities. [2]
• Iodine : A sufficient intake of iodine is extremely important for the healthy development of the child. Remember that the iodine requirement is even higher during breastfeeding than during pregnancy. [3]
• Omega-3 fatty acids: They are also very important for expectant mothers and especially for the development of the nervous system of the unborn child[4]

In general, the intake of sufficient vitamins, minerals and trace elements is very important - both during pregnancy and during the following breastfeeding period.[5] We offer you the multivitamin preparations from Vitaminexpress especially for this purpose.

Ensure an adequate supply and use our supplements, which have been specially developed for the needs of a mother and child.

A sufficient supply of folic acid is essential for pregnant women

Folic acid performs numerous important tasks in the human body. For example, it contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. [1] 

According to studies, an adequate intake even protects against congenital heart defects in the child and should be able to prevent premature births.[6] In general, folic acid is important for the growth and differentiation processes of the embryo and fetus. [7] 

 You can therefore trust our folic acid product BioActive Folate. 

With magnesium, you can contribute to the maintenance of normal body processes during pregnancy

Magnesium is particularly popular with athletes as a proven remedy for muscle cramps. But pregnancy and breastfeeding are also a kind of competitive sport, at least for your body. Accordingly, you should make sure that you have an adequate intake of magnesium. [2] 

Magnesium is involved in many physical processes, especially during pregnancy. Studies show that an adequate intake of this trace element canreduce the risk of the following pregnancy complications:

• Very low birth weight
• Premature birth
• Pre-eclampsia [8]

We at Vitaminexpress have put togetherseveral magnesium supplements for you in order to be able to offer you an optimal selection for breastfeeding and pregnancy. Take a closer look at the following products on the corresponding product pages:

• Magnesium citrate capsules, 180 capsules
• Magnesium citrate powder, 300g powder
• Magnesium malate capsules, 180 capsules

Our multivitamin preparations support you and your child with important nutrients

It is widely known that vitamins are very healthy. So it is hardly surprising that they are also very important during pregnancy and the subsequent breastfeeding period. [5] 

• Vitamin B : In addition to folic acid, there are many other B vitamins. It is known that vitamins B2 and B6, and also folic acid, can reduce the risk of later psychosocial and behavioural problems in children. [9]
• Vitamin C: The vitamin C requirement during breastfeeding is 150 mg/d and thus 50 mg higher than is otherwise the case for women. [10] The daily requirement during pregnancy is around 110 mg. [11]
• Vitamin D: Changed living conditions such as staying inside for longer periods of time can lead to less sunlight, which is a prerequisite for the formation of vitamin D. [12] By getting enough vitamin D during pregnancy, you can reduce the risk of premature births, growth problems and weak bones in the baby. [13]
• Vitamin E: This vitamin is a normal component of breast milk. Various factors, e.g. obesity can lead to a lower vitamin E content in milk. In order to achieve the recommended daily dose of 19 mg, a supplement can be useful.[14]

Trace elements such as iron and copper are also important for a healthy pregnancy and for breastfeeding. [5] You can support important body processes and prevent deficiency symptoms with the following combination preparations:

• Vitagen, 120 capsules: 37 valuable vitamins with high bioavailability in a convenient capsule form

• Iron bisglycinate chelate, 90 capsules: Ensures an adequate iron supply, which is particularly important during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Cover your increased iodine requirement during breastfeeding with the marine capsules

During pregnancy, but especially during breastfeeding, the iodine requirement is significantly higher. [3] For the child, a sufficient iodine intake through breast milk means that itsthyroid hormone storages are adequately filled. [15] 

In addition to this, iodine contributes to a normal energy metabolism, the normal function of the nervous system and the normal growth of the child.[1] You can therefore trust the iodine capsules from Vitaminexpress.

Omega 3 supplementation can have a positive effect on the last trimester of your pregnancy

The fact that fat is unhealthy per se has long been refuted. Omega 3, for example, can have positive effects on the last trimester of your pregnancy by

• decreasing the risk of a premature birth [16]
• supporting the cognitive and neurological development of the child [4] [17]

Our Omega 3 Vegan DHA capsules made from algae provide you with valuable fatty acids.
