What Do Multi Vitamin And Multi Mineral Supplements With Iron Calcium And Zinc Do For Women?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Women who are planning to conceive or those who are already pregnant are ideal candidates for multi-vitamin and multi-mineral supplements. A lady of child-bearing age should get 400 micrograms of folate every day, which is available from a multivitamin. Pregnant women need 600 micrograms of folate and minerals like calcium, copper, zinc and iron.

    Even women who are lactating have the need of multivitamin supplements. A supplement can help replenish her body with calcium, zinc, magnesium and also provide vitamins B6, Vitamins C and D, which get depleted in the course of lactation. Women certainly need calcium supplements post menopause to maintain the strength of their bones. Calcium supplements and Vitamin D tablets are prescribed to be taken against osteoporosis.
