Frequently Asked Questions
Which vitamin is best after delivery?
Studies indicate that Vitamin D is one of the most important postnatal vitamins available. Vitamin D allows your body to absorb more calcium, which is vital for healthy bones and inflammation reduction. Calcium is essential as it contributes to normal blood clotting, energy-yielding metabolism, muscle function, neurotransmission, and the function of digestive enzymes. It also plays a role in cell division and specialization and is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.
It is important to remember that, although mothers may take postnatal multivitamins to increase their intake of nutrients, certain vitamins like Vitamin D do not pass properly through breastmilk. This means your newborn will also likely require their own Vitamin D supplements if they are only being fed breast milk.
Do you really need postnatal vitamins?
Pregnancy is a huge strain on the human body, and postnatal vitamins can help you get the necessary nutrients you need to live healthily following childbirth. This is particularly important for breastfeeding mothers, as you will be giving away a lot of nutrients to your baby. Essential nutrients like:
-
Vitamin B12: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, functioning of the nervous system, homocysteine metabolism, psychological function, red blood cell formation, immune system function, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also plays a role in cell division.
-
Vitamin B6: Contributes to normal cysteine synthesis, energy-yielding metabolism, functioning of the nervous system, homocysteine metabolism, protein and glycogen metabolism, psychological function, red blood cell formation, immune system function, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also helps regulate hormonal activity.
-
Vitamin C: Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems, protection of cells from oxidative stress, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, and increased iron absorption.
-
Vitamin E: Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
-
Magnesium: Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, electrolyte balance, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, muscle function, protein synthesis, psychological function, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It also has a role in cell division.
This is also important for vegan and vegetarian mothers, who may struggle to get all the vitamins and minerals they need from their diet.
