Elevit in planning pregnancy

Many doctors strongly recommend the intake of additional sources of vitamins in the planning and conception period. Elevit pronatal in the planning of pregnancy is prescribed quite often, since this drug meets all the requirements of doctors regarding the composition and quantity of vitamins and elements. It helps to strengthen the immune system, saturate the cells of the body with nutrients, stabilize metabolic processes, improve hemodynamics and activate all vital processes in the body of the future mother.

Taking the drug, do not forget about the full nutrition, because only a combination of natural and medicinal products can give the best expected result.

One intake per day is enough to create in the body the optimal concentration of nutrients, with which the composition of the vitamin preparation is rich.

Elevit can be taken not only by the future mother, but also by the future father, since the presence of vitamins in his organism also plays a huge role in conception.

Instructions for the elevitis during pregnancy

The drug is recommended to be used from the very beginning of planning and during the entire gestation period, as well as during the lactation period.

The importance of taking this medication increases, if previously a woman had spontaneous abortions, or primary infertility was diagnosed. Often the cause of the inability to have children is the banal shortage of tocopherol and folic acid.

Elevit is desirable to eat after or during the meal, as many of the vitamins that make up this drug are fat-soluble and not digested without the presence of fats. Such vitamins include, for example, vitamin A, E, carotene, vitamins D and K.

Elevit early in pregnancy is especially important, since the vitamin complexes present in it significantly reduce the risk of congenital malformations in the child, such as defects in the nervous system, urinary tract, cardiovascular system, underdevelopment of the limbs, non-spreading of the upper lip and palate and other multiple defects.

How to take Elevit during pregnancy?

About how much to drink elevit at pregnancy, it is better to ask your doctor.

Usually the drug is taken during the entire period of planning and pregnancy, continuing to take and in the lactation period, because the vitamin and mineral complexes present in the preparation allow you to saturate both the weakened mother and the still fragile child with useful substances. The drug significantly reduces the risk of developing toxicosis in pregnancy, and in the presence of toxicosis reduces the intensity and morbidity of manifestations. Many women note a decrease in nausea in the mornings, a decrease in swelling, an appetite after regular intake of the drug.

However, an excessive amount of vitamins is also not welcomed, so if you take an elevator, then do not take other vitamin preparations at the same time.
