What Are the Different Types of Chewable Prenatal Vitamins?

Multivitamin chewable tablets are a health supplement for supplementing vitamins.

Multivitamin Chewable Tablets

Multi-vitamin chewable tablets are a variety of essential vitamins that are not readily available in the body. They are moderately added to other substances that promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients, such as CPP, which are chewable lozenge-type nutritional health products. It is mainly aimed at the nutritional supplementation of pregnant women. It is also applicable to those with poor general health.

There are many types of vitamins, which are relatively easy to lack. In terms of diet and nutrition, special attention should be paid to the deficiency of vitamins A, D, B1, B2, C, B6, and PP, especially for pregnant and lactating women in special stages. As a nutritional supplement, the multi-vitamin chewable tablets are mainly used to supplement C and B water-soluble vitamins.

Nutrients:

Pregnant women bear both the physiological needs of themselves and the fetus, and due to changes in endocrine and metabolism, digestive system, renal function, blood volume, etc., it is easy to cause the lack of vitamin C in the body, leading to low resistance, which will seriously affect their physical health And the normal physical and intellectual development of the fetus.

The protective effect of vitamin C on mothers:

The levels of vitamin C in pregnant and lactating women are lower than usual, resulting in low resistance and susceptibility

Nutrition is the material basis of life. In order to maintain a healthy and active life, the human body needs to obtain a certain amount of various essential nutrients from the diet every day. If a person's long-term intake of a certain nutrient is insufficient, there is a risk that the nutrient deficiency will occur. Conversely, if you continue to consume too much, you will not only bring more benefits, but will also pose a health hazard. Core indicators: RDA, UL.

There are different periods in the journey of life, and nutritional needs are different in each period. The body's need for various nutrients changes with age, gender, and physiological conditions.

Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP):

It is derived from proteolysis of cow's cheese, which can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and other minerals, and increase bone mass.

Casein Phosphopeptides (CPP) is a kind of functional food additive, which belongs to the amino acid series according to the classification of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Calcium is easily absorbed only when it exists in the form of ions, and it is easy to form insoluble salts with acid ions and lose it in neutral and weakly alkaline environments.

CPP's absorption of calcium is mainly manifested in the ability to bind to calcium in neutral and weakly alkaline environments, inhibit the formation of insoluble precipitates, avoid the loss of calcium, and eventually passively absorb it due to the increase in free calcium concentration. Current research shows that the role of CPP in promoting calcium absorption is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Promote the absorption of calcium in the small intestine. Cereals in the human diet contain a large amount of high-phosphorus components such as phytic acid and phytic acid, which are combined with calcium under the pH 7-8 environment of the lower intestine to form calcium phosphate precipitation. CPP can inhibit the formation of calcium phosphate precipitation, keep free calcium at a higher concentration, and promote the passive absorption of calcium, becoming another way for vitamin D to act as a calcium absorption enhancer.

(2) Promote the use of calcium by bones. Animal experiments show that CPP can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium, weaken the role of osteoclasts and inhibit bone resorption.

(3) Promote the use of calcium by the teeth. In the past, chewing cheese after a meal can stimulate saliva secretion, so that alkaline saliva buffers acidic substances on the plaque from corroding the enamel and helps prevent the occurrence of dental caries. Recent studies have found that CPP contained in cheese can bind calcium ions in food to caries, reduce the demineralization of enamel, and achieve the purpose of anti-caries.

Studies have found that sperm in culture medium containing CPP have significantly higher ability to penetrate egg cells, can also reduce the degree of sperm mutation and make embryo development more stable. CPP can also increase the bioavailability of metal ions such as iron, zinc, and magnesium, and is therefore known as a peptide substance with a metal carrier function.

Calcium hydrogen phosphate:

Calcium hydrogen phosphate is often used as a source of calcium and phosphorus supplements. Supplement phosphorus and calcium; the ratio of phosphorus to calcium is 1: 1.29, which is close to that of bone.

Nutrition and health care during pregnancy

Adults need a certain amount of nutrients to maintain weight and protect body function;

In addition to maintaining body functions, children and adolescents need more nutrients to meet the needs of growth and development;

Pregnant and lactating women need additional nutrients to ensure fetal and maternal related tissue growth and lactation needs.

Prenatal period is related to maternal nutrition, while infancy is related to breastfeeding

Maternal nutrition

General principles: From the 4th month of pregnancy, ensure sufficient energy; maintain normal weight gain in the later period; increase intake of fish, meat, eggs, milk, and seafood.

There are 3 stages of pregnancy, with 1 stage every 3 months. The first 3 months are the initial stage of the first stage of embryonic development, weight gain is slow, and the nutritional requirements are similar to those during non-pregnancy. The second period, that is, the fourth month, saw rapid weight gain and began to store fat and protein. At this time, the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid, uterus, breast, and blood volume all increased rapidly, which could increase 4 to 5 kg. 5 kg, the overall weight increased by about 12 kg. To this end, energy and nutrients are added from the fourth month. DRIs stipulate that the energy during the second trimester increases by 200kcal per day, the protein increases by 15g in 4-6 months, 25g in 7-9 months, calcium to 1500mg, iron to 28mg, other nutrients such as iodine, zinc, vitamins A, D, E , B1, B2, C, etc. also increased. Fish, meat, eggs and other animal foods rich in high-quality protein should be added. They should be rich in dairy foods, rich in inorganic salts and vitamin C, and rich in vegetables and fruits. They should be rich in fiber to promote bowel movements and prevent constipation. Weight gain is in accordance with the law, adjust your diet and do beneficial physical activities. Low nutrition causes slow growth of tissues and organs, poor storage of nutrients, delayed fetal growth and development, and a high incidence of preterm birth. Excessive weight gain and excess nutrition are unfavorable to the mother and fetus. One is prone to gigantic children and increases the risk of dystocia; the second is that pregnant women can have a large amount of water stored and prone to diabetes and chronic hypertension syndrome.

High-quality and high-protein foods, such as Enbesch multi-vitamin powder, high calcium iron and other nutrients: iodine, zinc, vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, folic acid, etc. Foods rich in dietary fiber. Nutritional intake should consider increasing these nutrients.

Nursery nutrition

General principles: ensure sufficient energy supply; increase intake of fish, meat, eggs, milk and seafood.

600 to 800 milliliters of milk are secreted every day to feed the child. When nutrition is insufficient, it destroys its own tissues to meet the baby's milk needs. Therefore, in order to protect the mother and the milk secretion needs, the nursing mother must be provided with sufficient nutrition.

Lactating mothers gain about 4 kg of fat during pregnancy, and these stored fats are consumed for energy during lactation. Calculated for 6 months of breastfeeding, the daily fat supply is 200 kcal. DRIs recommend that the nursery increase by 800 kcal per day, and that 600 kcal is needed. 800 ml of milk contains about 10g of protein, and the conversion rate of protein into milk protein is 70%. Therefore, 25g should be added every day. Human milk calcium is relatively stable, and nearly 300 mg of calcium is secreted through milk every day. Insufficient dietary intake, in order to maintain milk calcium constant, maternal bone calcium must be mobilized, so the nursing mother should increase calcium intake. The Enbesch multivitamin chewable tablets are especially supplemented with calcium hydrogen phosphate to supplement calcium and phosphorus. Milk intake of calcium is 1500mg per day; the best source is milk. Drink 500ml of milk daily to get 570mg of calcium. In addition, nursing mothers should eat more animal foods and soy products. Eat more aquatic products at the same time. Marine fish is rich in DHA, oysters are rich in zinc, kelp and laver are rich in iodine. Eating more seafood from the nursing mother is beneficial to the growth and development of the baby.

Nursing foods are basically the same as pregnant women. Should choose high-quality high-protein food. High calcium iron and other nutrients: iodine, zinc, vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, folic acid, etc. Increase foods rich in dietary fiber. Food processing should consider adding these nutrients to meet the breastmilk's metabolic needs.
