Many micro and macro elements necessary to maintain our body in excellent physical shape are produced by the body itself. However, this is not enough, especially in conditions unusual for humans. These include vitamin deficiencies associated with seasonality, stressful situations or pregnancy. It was at this time that various preparations or complexes of vitamins came to the rescue.
It is important to know that the dosage of
vitamin E in
planning pregnancy plays an important role for both the mother and the unborn baby. Taking this drug should start 12-16 weeks before pregnancy, and this rule applies to both parents. In the case of a man, a properly selected dosage of vitamin E during pregnancy planning improves sperm quality. For a woman, tocopherol is a true salvation - after all, this particular drug can contribute to the maturation of an immature uterus, the production of progesterone and estrogen.
With a lack of vitamin E in the body, you will not see obvious signs of this, but this vitamin deficiency entails difficulties with the absorption of vitamin A, and then a double deficiency of nutrients occurs. For the prevention of diseases associated with a lack of the drug, the dosage of vitamin E when planning pregnancy is small and, as a rule, it is taken without a prescription.
In addition to a positive effect on the reproductive sphere, vitamin E performs the following functions:
• strengthens the optic nerve;
• stabilizes blood pressure;
• has a rejuvenating effect;
• reduces the risk of cancer;
• normalizes hormonal levels, etc.
If a couple has problems conceiving, the maximum dosage of
vitamin E when planning pregnancy will be from 7 to 10 IU per day. Thanks to the drug containing tocopherol, the percentage of probability of successful delivery becomes higher. To improve the protective properties of the body and increase the resistance of the placenta to external negative factors, vitamin E will also help when planning pregnancy. The dosage in this case increases to 15 IU.
Do not forget about such a necessary substance as vitamin B9. How to drink folic acid when planning a pregnancy, your obstetrician-gynecologist will tell you. This drug usually begins to be taken 12-16 weeks before pregnancy. Accumulating in the mother's body in sufficient quantities, in the process of laying the internal organs of the fetus folic acid helps to properly form the neural tube and the central nervous system as a whole. With a deficiency of B9, the child begins to suffer from hypoxia, there is a risk of malformations of both mental and physical nature. The intake of vitamin by men improves the process of maturation of germ cells, which affects the quality of sperm.
The literal translation of the name folic acid from Latin means "leaf vitamin." In ancient times, this substance was obtained by processing spinach leaves. All green vegetables and fruits, as well as greens, boast this useful neighborhood. Bananas, oranges, apricots, as well as currant leaves are also able to enrich the human body with a daily dose of B9. But it should be remembered that this vitamin is afraid of heat treatment.
Tracking folic acid deficiency is easier than vitamin E deficiency. An imbalance is accompanied by aching headaches, baseless aggression, and sleep problems. In the early stages of puberty, a young girl may also experience a deficiency of folic acid, which will manifest itself in the instability of the menstrual cycle and problems with the further maturation of the uterus.
An overdose, as well as a lack of the above substances, entails irreparable negative consequences. Therefore, prior to their use, specialist advice is required.
