Pregnancy is a unique time for a woman's body, when not only hormonal settings but also nutritional and overall self-care needs change. During these months, it is important to support the body gently, safely and purposefully.
What nutrients are most often lacking during pregnancy?
It's no secret that most women need an increased intake of certain substances during pregnancy:
- folic acid and B vitamins – support the healthy development of the baby's nervous system,
- iron – prevention of anemia, which is common during pregnancy,
- calcium, vitamin D and K2 – important for the development of the child's bones and teeth and for the mother's health,
- omega-3 fatty acids – contribute to the development of the baby's brain and eyes.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose specially developed dietary supplements intended for pregnancy, where the composition is adapted to the needs of expectant mothers.
NaturEndo and pregnancy
Many women use NaturEndo while they are trying to conceive. But what happens when pregnancy is actually confirmed?
NaturEndo Phytoprogesterone
This product is intended exclusively for the period of the cycle before pregnancy. As soon as a woman discovers that she is pregnant, she must stop taking it immediately. She can only return to it after giving birth, when the first menstruation naturally occurs .
NaturEndo Talaromycin
It contains a unique combination of natural substances that support vitality and overall balance. However, we do not recommend it during pregnancy - not because it has known side effects, but because pregnancy is a time when it is appropriate to give preference to products specifically designed for pregnant women.
After childbirth, however, things are different: already in the six-week postpartum period, NaturEndo Talaromycin can be a valuable helper, as it gently supports recovery and renewal of strength.
What to eat and what to avoid during pregnancy
Proper nutrition is crucial for the healthy development of the baby and the well-being of the mother. Here are some tips:
Suitable foods
- a variety of vegetables and fruits, ideally fresh and seasonal,
- whole grains as a source of fiber and energy,
- quality sources of protein – lean meat, eggs, legumes, fish with low mercury content,
- fermented foods to support intestinal microflora,
- plenty of fluids – preferably clean water, herbal teas suitable for pregnant women.
Foods that are better to limit or avoid
- raw meat, fish and eggs (risk of infection),
- certain types of fish with higher mercury content (shark, swordfish, tuna),
- unpasteurized cheeses and dairy products,
- alcohol and excessive amounts of caffeine,
- highly processed foods with added sugar and trans fatty acids.
Safe support for the body during pregnancy and after childbirth
- During pregnancy, it is best to rely on dietary supplements developed specifically for this period.
- NaturEndo Phytoprogesteron : discontinue immediately after pregnancy is detected.
- NaturEndo Talaromycin : we recommend restarting it only after childbirth, when it can support the body during its return to balance.
Breastfeeding period
The breastfeeding period places additional demands on a woman's body. The body uses more energy, protein, minerals and vitamins, so it is important to ensure a varied and balanced diet. The increased need mainly concerns:
- calcium, magnesium and zinc,
- B vitamins and vitamin D,
- adequate fluid intake, as milk production requires a large amount of water.
Breastfeeding women do not need to worry about using NaturEndo Talaromycin and Phytoprogesteron. Both products can be safely used during breastfeeding, as they support the body's regeneration and hormonal balance of the mother without negatively affecting breastfeeding.
Every pregnancy is unique. If you are unsure which supplements are right for you, it is a good idea to consult your doctor or you can contact naturopath Gabriela Tuatti.
