What are the most important vitamins for pregnant women?

It is difficult to answer this question in an unambiguous way, because the properties of each vitamin are particularly important for the optimal development of the fetus and are essential components for any healthy and balanced diet.

The vitamin known as folic acid comes to the forefront, the properties of which are of great importance in the preconception period, during the whole pregnancy and during lactation. The action of folates is extremely important for women's health. They support the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy, contribute to optimal amino acid synthesis, support proper blood production, and maintain a proper functioning of the immune system, e.g. by maintaining a proper homocysteine metabolism. Folic acid deficiency is extremely dangerous for the fetus, as it may cause the development of serious defects of the nervous system and various deformities.

An equally important component of the daily diet for a pregnant woman is vitamin D . This substance, apart from having an equally valuable effect on the functioning of the immunity, participates in the processes of cell division.

In addition, vitamin D promotes the maintenance of a proper muscle function and has a positive effect on the health and strength of teeth.
