How many weeks of pregnancy should you start taking calcium supplements?

For pregnant women, the substance most lacking in their bodies is calcium. Therefore, if women want to prevent their bodies from being damaged due to lack of nutrition during pregnancy, they can choose more calcium supplement methods to make up for the missing calcium in their bodies. The timing of calcium supplementation is actually very important. So, how many weeks of pregnancy is it best to start calcium supplementation? Let me introduce it to you below.

It is recommended to start calcium supplementation from the fourth month, but pay attention to complex supplementation. You can choose Batong Calcium Iron and Zinc. Adding vitamin D can effectively promote calcium absorption. Another point is that you need to supplement iron before calcium, and zinc supplementation is better than iron supplementation. Therefore, supplementing iron while supplementing calcium can prevent iron deficiency anemia and improve the mother's ability to transport nutrients, so that the nutrients taken by the mother can be fully transported to the fetus. In addition, zinc supplementation can promote the mother's appetite and promote the brain development of the baby's fetus.

Therefore, when supplementing calcium during pregnancy, you should pay attention to complex calcium supplementation so that the nutrition will be balanced and the baby will absorb it better.

Calcium supplementation can be started at 19 weeks of pregnancy. The fetus grows and develops rapidly in the second trimester, and the need for calcium increases, requiring 1200mg to 1500mg per day. The daily calcium intake for pregnant women is 1500 mg. Under normal dietary conditions, you can get 800 mg of elemental calcium every day. If you drink 500 ml of milk every day, you can get more than 500 mg of elemental calcium. If you do not drink more than 500 ml of milk, the daily intake in early pregnancy should be more than 800 mg.

At 4-5 months of pregnancy, the fetus's bones and teeth begin to calcify; calcification accelerates at 8 months of pregnancy; by full term, all 20 deciduous teeth have been formed. To this end, 300 mg of elemental calcium should be supplemented daily after four or five months of pregnancy, and 500 mg of elemental calcium should be supplemented daily after seven months of pregnancy. Amino acid chelated calcium is currently on sale, each tablet contains 462.5 mg of calcium. One tablet a day is enough. For those who eat less meat, take 1.5 to 2 tablets a day.

Considering the special needs of pregnant women, it is recommended to use Irmolecular Casein Calcium Tablets for calcium supplementation. Irmolecular Casein Calcium is a new compound made by reacting casein ions in milk with calcium ions using modern biotechnology. It has the dual functions of calcium and protein supplementation, and at the same time improves the absorption and utilization of calcium ions. The human body's absorption rate is as high as over 95%. Its absorption rate is 1.75 times that of calcium lactate, 2.15 times that of calcium carbonate, and 5.5 times that of shell calcium. It is an ideal new raw material for calcium supplementation that does not require the participation of VD.

From the above, we can see that the best time for pregnant women to supplement calcium is when the baby is 4 months old. As for the choice of calcium dosage, the amount of calcium required for supplementation is different at different stages of fetal growth. Therefore, pregnant women need to pay attention to the above-mentioned precautions when supplementing calcium.
