Millions of women, taking care of themselves and their unborn baby, take the Mom (Complivit) vitamins . The reviews of those who felt their effect on themselves indicate that their use can be safely advised to every pregnant woman. A carefully selected composition has made them one of the most popular vitamins for this category of women.
Why do pregnant women need vitamins?
The development of the child, his health after birth, and even the duration of his life largely depend on the behavior of the mother during pregnancy. She now always shares the joy and sorrow, the excess and lack of any substances with the organism developing in her stomach. Often a pregnant woman is faced with a lack of vitamins and minerals necessary for building the organs of the fetus.
This is especially true in our time, when affordable food products have a very low content of nutrients. For example, in the first weeks of pregnancy, a woman in high doses requires folic acid (B 9 ), which, although it is found in many products, is easily destroyed during their long storage and heat treatment. At later dates, for the correct development of the little man, B vitamins, vitamins C, E, P, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, magnesium are especially required.
Why exactly these vitamins?
The first advantage of the Komplivit (Mom) complex for pregnant women is that vitamins have been created specifically for this category of women, taking into account the needs of the baby developing in their womb. 11 vitamins and 7 minerals did not come into their composition by accident: the fact that a pregnant woman needs them was established through serious research.
It is no coincidence that the dosages of all components are selected in this vitamin complex. The amount of each vitamin and mineral is 75% of the daily intake. This implies that the remaining 25% of the woman should receive from food. This approach virtually eliminates the excessive accumulation of these substances in the body.
Reviews about the vitamin drug
The bulk of women who have drunk one course or more vitamins say that after that they have improved complexion, nails and hair have become stronger, the general condition has improved. It is safe to say that the intake of vitamins affects the health of the embryo no less positively.
However, some reviews contain information that Complivit (Mom), the price of which is much lower than existing analogues, caused a negative reaction in the body. Symptoms include nausea and dry skin. This happened just after taking the "Mom" ("Complivit"). Reviews, however, are not all that should be guided by.
It is worth considering that negative feelings can be a manifestation of an allergy to one of the components of the composition. In some cases, if a woman’s daily diet is rich in vitamins, they may over accumulate in the body. An individual approach is important here, and perhaps a whole pill per day for such a woman is not required.
Comparison with Elevit Pronatal
Many gynecologists prescribe to pregnant women the vitamin drug Elevit Pronatal. Therefore, women are interested in what is better: "Elevit" or "Complivit" ("Mom"). To understand this, you need to compare two complexes.
In composition, “Elevit” is very similar to “Complivit” (“Mom”), the price of which is much lower: for 30 tablets in Russia it is necessary to give no more than 200 rubles, while for “Elevit” it takes at least 700 rubles. The manufacturing country played a large role in the price difference between these two drugs. For Elevit, this is Germany, and for Complivit, Russia.
There is also some difference in composition. For example, Elevit contains vitamin D and biotin, as well as twice as much vitamin C. And Complivit contains more vitamin PP, rutin, thioctic acid and cobalt. Without special tests, it is impossible to determine which vitamins and minerals a particular pregnant woman needs most.
Fat-soluble vitamins in the composition
The composition of the drug includes two fat-soluble vitamins, which the body tends to accumulate. Vitamin A contains 1650 IU, and vitamin E - 20 mg in each tablet "Mom" ("Complivit"). Reviews of some women suggest that it is these vitamins in their body that an excess occurred after taking this drug. Before taking it, it is very important for a woman to carefully analyze her diet so that it does not turn out that she receives more than 25% of each of these vitamins daily.
Vitamin A is essential for the normal formation of the skin and mucous membranes, especially the eyes. Vitamin E is necessary for the mother's body to form the circulatory system, muscles and genital glands of her baby. With its lack, a miscarriage can occur.
Water soluble vitamins in the composition
Water-soluble vitamins are those that are excreted from the human body with urine, which means they do not have the ability to accumulate. There can not be an excess of vitamins of this group, but often a deficiency is observed, especially in pregnant women. Therefore, it is especially important for them to take “Complivit” (“Mom”) equipped with everything necessary for them. The instruction reports that the composition of the drug includes such water-soluble vitamins as B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , B 6, B 9, B 12 , C, PP, calcium pantothenate, thioctic acid.
B vitamins affect mainly the development of the skin and nervous system of the child. Folic acid, or vitamin B 9 , is involved in the process of hematopoiesis. Women with toxicosis should pay special attention to Complivit (Mom), the use of which significantly alleviates bouts of nausea and vomiting.
The ability of vitamin C to help the body fight microbes and inflammation is well known. In addition, he is actively involved in the formation and operation of the entire circulatory system, metabolic processes and the production of tissue cells and hormones. Nicotinamide, or vitamin B 3 , which is involved in the metabolic processes of the body, is especially needed for pregnant women.
Rutin, or vitamin P, strengthens the capillaries of the expectant mother and prevents the appearance of edema. Calcium pantothenate is involved in metabolic processes, and thioctic acid is an antioxidant.
Minerals in the complex
As already noted, not only vitamins are part of Complivit (Mom). The instruction indicates that the preparation also includes minerals: phosphorus, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, calcium, cobalt. All of them are necessary for a developing organism.
Calcium is known to be involved in the formation of the skeleton. Phosphorus is also involved in the circulatory system. Manganese strengthens bones, but also fights against inflammatory processes. Copper is involved in blood formation, iron - in the transport of oxygen and the functioning of the immune system. The growth and development of the embryo are largely dependent on zinc. Magnesium is involved in the formation of the bone, nervous and muscle systems.
Drug use
Usually in a plastic jar “Complivit” (“Mom”) is put up for sale. Tablets are packaged in 30 or 60 pieces. They should be taken 1 per day. The best time for this is breakfast. The necessary duration of admission is determined by the doctor or the woman herself, taking into account her own feelings. It is advisable to take short breaks in the reception.
Indication for the use of the drug - vitamin deficiency during pregnancy or preparation for it. As the facts show, even without planning a child, you can take "Mom" ("Complivit"). Reviews say that these truly female vitamins improve the condition of the skin, strengthen hair and nails, in a word, make a woman more beautiful.
“Mom” (“Complivit”) is a complex of vitamins and minerals that every woman who wants to give birth to a healthy child in every way should know about. After all, pregnancy is a time when the previous amount of useful substances entering the body of a future mother is categorically not enough. And in our time, another effective way to increase their dose, except to take their synthetic analogues, unfortunately, does not exist.
