Mama’s nutritional needs during pregnancy can be fulfilled through the food that Mama consumes daily. However, nausea and vomiting during pregnancy usually make the intake that enters Mama’s body not optimal. In addition, to meet the right levels of a pregnant mother’s daily vitamin intake, the amount of food consumed can be very large. This is why doctors will advise you to take extra vitamins during pregnancy. Let’s check some of the recommendations here!

Vitamin Recommendation for Pregnant Mothers

  1. Cavit-D3

Your little one needs calcium intake to grow and develop, especially for forming bones and teeth. For these needs, calcium is taken from Mama’s bones and teeth. This can make Mama often feel tired, pain in the joint or bone, toothache and at risk of osteoporosis. But take it easy, Mom. Mama’s calcium needs can be fulfilled during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and also after breastfeeding by consuming 1000 to 1400 mg of calcium per day.

Cavit-D3 contains 500 mg of calcium. Mama can take 1 to 2 tablets of Cavit-D3, and the rest can be fulfilled through daily food, such as various dairy products, fish, white bread and so on.

  1. Osfit DHA

Your little one needs docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for the formation of their nervous system, brain, and eyes. DHA can be obtained through foods such as salmon, tuna, and chia seeds. Mama can also take this one vitamin for pregnant women, named Osfit DHA. Osfit DHA itself contains DHA, EPA, 200 mg calcium, and 100 IU of vitamin D3. The amount that Mama can consume is 1 to 2 tablets per day.

  1. Neurodex

Besides calcium and DHA, Mama also needs vitamin B  for the development of the baby’s nervous system, brain and heart. Vitamin B can be found in fish, meat, milk, and nuts. Neurodex is a vitamin that is good for pregnant mothers, because it already contains vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Neurodex is also useful to reduce the frequency of vomiting during pregnancy.
