Why is adequate nutrient supply important during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the requirements for various vitamins, minerals and trace elements change.

Folate, iodine, iron, vitamin D and DHA play a particularly important role.

During breastfeeding, the body also requires sufficient nutrients to support the mother and promote the normal development of the child.

A balanced diet forms the basis. Dietary supplements can help to specifically fill certain nutrient gaps.

Folate – Particularly important when trying to conceive and during pregnancy

Folate belongs to the group of B vitamins and plays an important role in cell division and normal blood formation.

It contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.

Taking an additional 400 µg of folic acid daily for at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception increases maternal folate status.

Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for neural tube defects in the developing fetus.

According to the available information, the NICAPUR® Mama-Box contains 600 µg of folate.

Vegan omega-3 from microalgae

The omega-3 component of the NICAPUR® Mama-Box contains 625 mg of microalgae oil from Schizochytrium sp.

Microalgae are a plant-based source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA.

DHA is an important component of cell membranes in the brain and retina.

Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and breastfed infant.

This positive effect is observed with an additional daily intake of 200 mg of DHA beyond the recommended intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA for adults.

The exact amount of DHA in the Mama-Box must be confirmed using the manufacturer's declaration.

Iodine – For normal thyroid function

Iodine is an essential trace element and is required for the formation of thyroid hormones.

It contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.

Adequate iodine supply is particularly important during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

According to the available information, the NICAPUR® Mama-Box contains 200 µg of iodine.

In cases of existing thyroid conditions, additional iodine intake should be individually coordinated with a doctor.

Iron – Important for blood formation and oxygen transport

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

It supports normal oxygen transport in the body and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Iron requirements increase during pregnancy.

Whether additional iron intake is necessary depends on individual iron status and can be assessed using suitable laboratory values.

Vitamin D – For bones and the immune system

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, as well as to normal muscle function.

It also supports the normal function of the immune system and the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.

Calcium and magnesium – Important minerals

Calcium and magnesium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.

Both minerals support normal muscle function.

Magnesium also contributes to normal nervous system function, normal energy metabolism and reduced tiredness and fatigue.
