There are so many kinds of products, how to choose, mothers are confused:
We selected 15 popular products with high sales volume during pregnancy and made a thorough analysis and comment, hoping to help you.
If you want to skip the long article and see the conclusion directly, please pull it to the end of the article.
Compound vitamin and mineral supplements, as the name implies, contain a variety of nutrients; The bold elements in this table of nutritional element demand during pregnancy need special attention.
When purchasing, it is suggested to pay more attention to the source and content of two elements: folic acid and vitamin A.
folic acid
The tolerable maximum intake (UL) of folic acid supplement is 1000μg (excluding food), so it is more appropriate to choose products with a content of 400-800μg g..
High-dose folic acid supplementation may interfere with zinc absorption, lead to fetal growth retardation and increase the risk of low birth weight; It may also cover up the early manifestations of vitamin B 12 deficiency.
Folic acid in natural food will not be poisoned by overdose, and vegetables and fruits can be safely eaten.
vitamin A
Vitamin A is a tangled nutrient during pregnancy.
On the one hand, China people's diet is generally prone to lack of vitamin A; On the other hand, excessive vitamin A can easily lead to embryo malformation.
When shopping, we should pay attention to the content of vitamin A and the source of vitamin A.
Different sources of vitamin A have different toxicity. Relatively speaking, beta carotene (which can be converted into vitamin A in the body) is less toxic than pre-formed vitamin A.
The tolerable maximum intake (UL) of vitamin A is 3000μgRAE, but β carotene from dietary sources is not included.
If you have the habit of eating liver every week, try not to choose multi-dimensional products containing vitamin A during pregnancy.
Beta carotene from food is hardly toxic and can be safely eaten, which is the safest way to supplement vitamin A during pregnancy.
Let's take a look at the price comparison of this 15 product:
Combined with the nutritional information of each product, we wrote the main points you need to pay attention to in the introduction picture of each product.
The content of main elements in some products is deficient and needs to be supplemented by diet. How to make up, you can read this article: A Complete Book of Nutrition Supplement during Pregnancy.
In addition to Max-type and lactating products, Wei Tabell also has Plus-type pregnant women's multivitamins suitable for early pregnancy and him/her suitable for pregnancy preparation. The products suitable for lactating women are strengthened in calcium content than Max-type.
We all think that Max's nutritional components are relatively balanced. If it is convenient, we can use the same product for the whole pregnancy.
Tianweimei's performance of this product is still outstanding!
Among 15 products, this product from kingsley ann has the least variety of vitamins and minerals, and the strength of this brand may be their folic acid series products.
Compared with the results of our evaluation a year ago, the formula of this product of Tomson Bianjian has been upgraded, and the performance of nutritional components has been improved.
It's a pity that Martner's product has a balanced composition except that the content of vitamin A exceeds the maximum daily tolerable amount UL. Suitable for pregnant women who need extra special vitamin A supplement.
It's also a pity that the folic acid content of this product of GNC has reached the upper limit of the maximum tolerable daily dose UL, which means that if you take more animal liver, it may be excessive, causing health risks, and other nutrients are quite good.
The two products of Aoshibao are definitely the most feminine products in this evaluation. The dosage form is also very innovative, and you can also find a particularly suitable audience.
Both the Australian version and the over-the-counter version imported from China have iron content of 60mg, which exceeds the maximum tolerable intake of iron of 42mg. During taking, it may cause some gastrointestinal discomfort.
Of course, if it is a pregnant woman with anemia symptoms in the prenatal examination, it may just strengthen iron supplementation.
This product of Eric is cost-effective, and it is worthy to be included in our recommendation list.
After synthesizing the nutritional information and price of 15 products, we recommend the following three products:
Wei Tabell Vitabiotics Pregnacare Max pregnant women multivitamins
