Women need a lot of calcium during pregnancy, mainly because if the calcium in the pregnant woman's body is not enough, it will affect the growth and development of the baby in the belly. So pregnant women need to supplement a lot of calcium during pregnancy, but not all calcium can be effectively absorbed. So how to promote calcium absorption in pregnant women?
If you want to effectively promote calcium absorption, you can choose to supplement calcium in small amounts multiple times. And you can also choose some calcium tablets with relatively small doses, taking them orally 2-3 times. If you drink milk, you can also follow this principle. In addition, you can choose an ideal time for calcium supplementation. If it is during the daytime, it can be arranged between two meals after meals. Bedtime at night is also a good time to supplement calcium.
Vitamin D is actually a carrier for calcium absorption by the body, so in order to effectively promote calcium absorption, the first step is to supplement with vitamin D. Additionally, when supplementing calcium, it is important to pay attention to the following matters.
After eating calcium tablets, it is not advisable to drink tea immediately, as it is not conducive to the calcium supplementation effect. And don't eat it together with other multidimensional tablets or oxalic acid phytic acid foods, as these can affect calcium absorption. Although pregnant women need to supplement calcium, they should also be careful not to over supplement calcium, otherwise it can easily lead to constipation.
