Hello, very happy to answer your questions, Alove is a multivitamin tablets, the theory is that it can be taken at the same time with meals and fruits, the vitamins and trace elements can meet the needs of pregnant women, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy to eat on the pregnant woman is better.

The folic acid in it can prevent birth defects in your baby. It helps prevent neural tube defects (also called "neural tube malformations"), which include very serious birth defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Neural tube defects are a common congenital abnormality in newborns in China. It may also help reduce your baby's risk of other types of birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate and some types of heart defects. It also prevents anemia in pregnant women , whose bodies need folic acid to make normal red blood cells.

Elavil can be taken, but it does not need to be taken throughout the pregnancy, the key to pregnancy do not be partial to food, the diet as widely diversified as possible. Eat more high protein high quality protein food eat more vegetables and fruits. You need to pay attention to nutrition, ensure protein intake, such as eggs, milk, fish, poultry, meat, etc., do not drink coffee, quit smoking. Usually eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, now pregnant women are basically enough nutrition, do not need to supplement too many vitamins, it is recommended to eat pregnant women special, such as, folic acid tablets, Fosfo, etc., pay attention to rest to avoid fatigue, do not stay up all night.

I hope my answer helps, and I wish you health and peace!

Thanks for the invitation.

Folic acid supplementation is needed in early pregnancy to prevent fetal neural tube defect malformations, and the recommended dose is 0.8 mg per day (one answer wrote that it should be 800 mg per day, which is a bit careless).

Elavil has exactly this dosage amount of folic acid in it and is also, rich in a variety of other vitamins that pregnant women need, so taking Elavil or any other brand of folic acid in the first trimester is a must.

And after the third trimester, pregnant women actually still need more micronutrients than non-pregnant women, and taking vitamins like Aleve is beneficial, just not cheap.

Of course, in addition to vitamin supplements, pregnant women also need to pay special attention to dietary balance in order to consume adequate nutrition without over-nutrition, which mainly refers to dietary intake of excessive starch and protein, resulting in weight gain and fat accumulation.Excessive micronutrients rarely occur during general pregnancy.

Malnutrition may lead to intrauterine growth restriction of the fetus, and over-nutrition may lead to excessive weight gain and fetal size, which is not conducive to a normal delivery.

There is a fine line to be drawn between the two.

I hope my answer is helpful to you, struggling in the clinical line of obstetrics and gynecology small doctors, welcome to pay attention to the headline "Obstetrics and Gynecology Superman", also welcome to pay attention to the personal public number chaorenaini666 (Superman loves you 666), and you share interesting stories and popular science.

Thank you to my fans who have grown and changed with me, thanx.

Pregnant women are very careful to take Elavil oh! In the answer there are doctors who have posted pictures, there is domestic Elavil and there is imported Elavil. The difference between them is huge! The domestic one does not contain iodine, and the imported Elavil contains 220 micrograms of iodine. For pregnant women who live in areas where iodized salt is supplied, always choose the one with iodine. For pregnant women who are over-nourished with iodine, always choose the one that does not contain iodine! Iodine has most of the effects on your baby than folic acid. Folic acid is mainly for the prevention of neural tube malformations and other malformations in the fetus, while iodine can increase the baby's IQ by up to 20 points! Thinking about it from this perspective, not only should you take Elavil all the time during pregnancy. You should also take it when breastfeeding after delivery, unless you are not breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, the iodine content of imported Elavil meets the needs of breastfeeding moms! Iodine supplementation should be continued until future weaning.

Folic acid content is also divided into 0.4 mg, 0.6 mg and 0.8 mg. It doesn't really matter if it's more or less, taking folic acid all the time is also good for preventing pregnancy anemia. In the past, it was thought that there was no need to supplement folic acid after 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, now that you are taking oral Elavil, can't you just remove the folic acid? In order to get the iodine in it, you can only take it 😁. Because, at present, there is no supply of drugs for simple iodine supplementation in the domestic market.

There have actually been problems with Elavil, which is still well known as one of the first pregnancy vitamins. The main problem with domestic Elavil is:

①Iron content exceeds UL, exceeding does not mean it is harmful, but it is that there is a higher risk of causing adverse reactions, such as possible constipation and vomiting and other discomforts.

②视黄醇来源的维生素A含量较高，容易过量。 Again, this is a long term process, not that exceeding it is necessarily harmful, just that there is an increased risk.

③No iodine, no DHA, that is to pay attention to other ways of supplementation

④ Low calcium content, this is the same, and can be met if dietary sources are more plentiful; you can even take additional calcium tablets, etc., again.

As for your mention of folic acid doses of 400-800mg are fine, and those at high risk can supplement with 800mg per day.

Overall, Elavil is not a cost-effective product and is not an optimal product. From mid-pregnancy onwards, it is recommended to switch to other supplements.

We can make better choices when there are better choices.

You should definitely take Elavil in the fourth month of pregnancy, and not only that, you should start taking Elavil from the time you are pregnant and keep taking it until the end of breastfeeding.

The most important ingredient in Elavil is folic acid, which is the most indispensable substance for fetal development and is vital for the development of the fetal nervous system!

And both the Chinese Nutrition Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that the also count intake for women during the preparatory period should be at 0.4 milligrams, while after the pregnancy is confirmed, the daily folic acid intake until the end of the breastfeeding period must be 0.8 milligrams.

That's why it's a very necessary thing to take one capsule of Elavil a day during the fourth month of pregnancy.

As for the side effects of folic acid, I have always felt that talking about toxicity in isolation from the dose is a trick, 0.8 mg of folic acid is exactly the amount of intake that a pregnant or lactating woman must have, so what are the side effects? And also considered the most common side effect is gastrointestinal discomfort, if there are no obvious symptoms, there is no need and should not stop the medication at all!

In addition, Elavil has many other substances including vitamins and trace elements besides folic acid, which are also necessary during pregnancy.

1. To solve your kink, let me first introduce you to the official recommended daily nutrient recommendations of our country:

Folic acid 400ug, take it from the beginning of your pregnancy until you give birth.

(This is the recommendation for folic acid supplementation for pregnant women issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.)

To translate: folic acid is a type of B vitamin that helps pregnant women avoid some of the major fetal birth defects, and is taken at 400mg per day, beginning with preparation and continuing throughout the pregnancy.

(This is our country issued the Chinese residents dietary guidelines 2016 about pregnant women supplement folic acid, combined with the recommendations of countries around the world, existing research, as well as China's pregnant women's nutritional status quo and dietary structure of the proposal, I hope that we rationally view)

(This is the advice on folic acid for local residents issued by the Department of Health of Hong Kong.)

Iron: The recommended daily amount is 20mg in early pregnancy, 24mg in mid-pregnancy and 29mg in late pregnancy.

2. The standards for Aleve are generally high, with folic acid at 800ug and iron at 60mg.

3. Nutrient supplements are meant to supplement dietary deficiencies and not to replace them.

4. There have been numerous studies proving that the effects of nutrient supplements are not comparable to those of dietary sources, and that only a balanced diet is the best source of nutrition, even without professional guidance, and that improper supplementation can be risky.

5. Of course the dose of Elavil isn't so high as to be harmful, but in my personal experience, you can actually have better options, and since you're torn you can switch to something else.

6. Each person's physical condition is different, need to be able to message me to help you reference reference.

Elavil can be taken with fruits and meals and the vitamins in it are beneficial for pregnant women. Consuming it in the early stages of pregnancy is helpful for pregnant women.

Alove is a folic acid-containing multivitamin tablet for pregnancy and childbirth that has all the vitamins and trace minerals that pregnant women and children need, and the key is that the dosage and ratios are spot on.

Many pregnant women are prone to lack of some nutrients during pregnancy, and Elavil contains calcium, iron and zinc multi-vitamins and minerals, which can make up for the nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy.

Feel free to post different views in the comment section. For more questions on parenting, pregnancy, pregnancy preparation, children's health knowledge, etc., follow me. I will answer them all for you! Thanks for reading!

It is safe to take folic acid supplements throughout pregnancy.

Preparation for the first trimester of pregnancy and pregnancy when the main thing is to supplement folic acid, in accordance with China's folic acid supplementation guidelines, generally no special comorbidities and medical history, supplement folic acid 0.4-0.8mg, usually the drugstore has Kingsleyan folic acid content of 0.4mg, Elovac folic acid content of 0.8mg, general preparation for the third trimester of pregnancy to eat two kinds of are available, preparation for a short period of time you can eat 0.8mg. Alove contains 0.8mg of folic acid, and other multivitamins, it can prevent more than 90% of neural tube malformations and more than 40% of other malformations, you can eat Alove, and some people eat Kingsleyan can also.

But if you buy multivitamins from abroad, it is recommended to look at the content table, because the national conditions are not the same, in which the vitamin content is not the same, for example, some countries contain iodine, because they do not eat iodized salt, our country to eat iodized salt. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, you need to supplement iron and calcium as appropriate according to each person's different situation, and the specific amount of supplementation, or according to their own dietary habits and the degree of lack of the body, to supplement accordingly. Continued folic acid supplementation throughout pregnancy can prevent the decline in serum folate levels and elevated homocysteine concentrations caused by cessation of supplementation, and homocysteinemia leads to elevated blood pressure after 20 weeks of gestation.

During my pregnancy, I registered with a well-known specialist at a Beijing tertiary hospital, and the director asked me if I had taken folic acid, and I said I had, but simply folic acid, and the director told me to switch to Aleve, saying it was a multivitamin that was more comprehensive, and told me that I should take it all the way through to the birth of my child. My mother-in-law is a retired obstetrician, they would advocate folic acid supplementation in the first trimester of pregnancy and the three months before giving birth, but now the hospital advocates folic acid supplementation for the entire pregnancy, so it's better to follow the doctor's requirements.

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question Oh, I'll tell you about my situation, I hope it will help you. Real not fooling around.

I gave birth to my baby last summer, at the beginning of pregnancy, pregnancy vomiting plus chronic gastritis, almost three whole months without food and water, just a little glucose to continue life. At that time, I couldn't even drink water, and when I did, I threw up all over the place and couldn't control it. Then he began to lose weight, more than a month lost 24 pounds. Severe malnutrition, the most serious time is that the teeth are beginning to fall apart, a buckle will fall a small pile, a pinch will be broken. Then the doctor asked me to buy that so-and-so month's supplements, and I bought a box, a month's worth, and it took me four months to finish it. But every time I checked, the baby was healthy and developing normally. Because his vitality is very tenacious, the nutrients stored in my body all absorbed, completely regardless of what I become a mom, this baby is too ungenerous, haha! Later, more than 5 months of good health, slowly began to supplement, what chicken, duck and goose, eggs, dog meat, donkey meat, pork belly, rabbit meat, a variety of small dishes, etc., I wantonly eat, wantonly fill. I'm not picky about what I eat. Then the baby was born 6.1 pounds. Now one and a half years old, especially good health, did not play a drip, not hospitalized.

That's why I pay more attention to dietary supplements. Those health care products appropriate to eat a eat on the line, do not overdose. My sister works in a pharmaceutical company, their factory those health products ah, vitamins ah, diet pills ah what, factory price is so low that you stunned off the jaw, but the selling price in the market can also make you stunned off the jaw. So ah, pregnancy more earth products, safe, rest assured.

I'm a red cherry blossom, so shut me down if you like me.
