Vitrum-mineral complex Vitrum Prenatal is one of the most popular and effective medicines currently on the market of pharmacological products.

The combination of many vitamins and minerals has a beneficial effect on a woman’s body during preparation for pregnancy and the postpartum period, and during pregnancy itself, preventing many possible adverse reactions. But it should be remembered that before use you should consult with a specialist.

Pregnancy is a period of increased needs for vitamins and minerals. And it is far from always possible to make up for it with the help of a balanced diet, especially during the period of toxicosis, when it is difficult to even see food in principle. And in such situations, for the normal growth and development of the child, additional help in the form of vitamin-mineral complexes is simply necessary.

Since both pregnancies were long-awaited, desired and suffered,  then I tried to provide as much as possible for myself and growing kids with everything necessary. And if the first pregnancy was “planned” for more than 3 years, then of course, there was no talk of taking vitamins in the preparatory period. I just took the usual Vitrum if necessary.

After the treasured confirmation of the first pregnancy, I took the multivitamins Complivit Mom and additionally Iodomarin-200. From the 7th month I had to additionally connect an iron complex, Ginotardiferon, due to a sharp drop in hemoglobin level and previous surgery.

During my second pregnancy, I chose American vitamins. "Vitrum Prenatal forte" (Vitrum Prenatal forte)  for pregnant and lactating women. And not a minute did not regret her choice.

This complex helped me to survive a difficult period. I had no classic toxicosis with nausea and vomiting. I had a complete lack of appetite, I just could not eat anything. Accordingly, how else could such a drastic deficiency of vitamins be made up for?

General information about vitamins Vitrum Prenatal Forte

You can buy vitamins at any pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription. In our country at one time vitamins were given free of charge from a gynecologist, but the condition for receiving was living in ecologically unfavorable areas.   I didn’t get under the giveaway,  therefore I had to buy Vitrum Prenatal Forte for my money.

Price Vitrum Prenatal Forte in pharmacies in Tashkent  was (at the time of purchase, a year ago):

• Packing 30 tablets - 55,000 soums (about $ 7),
• Packing 100 tablets - 100,000 soums (about $ 13).

We sell vitamins in pharmacies in 2 formats - 30 and 100 tablets each. There are also packages of 60 and 120 tablets. Moreover, a large can costs 2 times more expensive, although it contains 3 times more vitamins - it turns out that a large volume is much more profitable.

Vitamins are packed in a bulk cardboard box, which indicates general information, basic information is given on the indication, methods of taking vitamins.Inside, there is also the usual paper abstract for the drug, which details the main nuances of taking vitamins.

Once again amazed at the packaging of American vitamins. The manufacturer is clearly trying by all means to ensure its reliability - the jar was originally packed in thermal film, there is an additional protective membrane under the lid. the lid itself is equipped with a protection mechanism that will not allow young children to unscrew it on their own - a very relevant function when there is a three-year-old inquisitive kid in the house.

The Vitrum Prenatal Forte tablets themselves are oblong. I’m already used to this format and a large amount of vitamins. At first, it was rather difficult to swallow such a torpedo, but over time it became commonplace and did not cause difficulties.

Composition Vitrum Prenatal Forte

The complex contains 13 vitamins and 10 minerals. The detailed composition is duplicated on the packaging:

One Vitamin Prenatal Forte Vitamin Pill contains the following components:

1. Active ingredients:

2. Excipients:

3. The following substances are part of the vitamins shell:

I will not dwell on the significance of each component - this information is the sea on the Internet. But such a rich composition and inclusion in the complex of the most necessary substances for a pregnant and developing baby makes me very happy.

What I especially like about vitamins is the almost complete coverage of the needs of a pregnant woman. Particularly pleased with the inclusion of iodine and iron - in the first pregnancy I had to additionally buy these drugs, but here the need disappeared completely.

Indications Vitrum vitamins for pregnant and lactating

The main indications for use:

• Prevention and treatment of hypovitaminosis and lack of minerals during preparation for pregnancy, during pregnancy and the postpartum period;
• Prevention of iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women, calcium deficiency in the mother's body.

I am quite wary of the uncontrolled intake of vitamins - nevertheless I adhere to the generally recognized position that a lack of vitamins is better than an overabundance of them. But the period of pregnancy is an exception when a sufficient intake of biologically active components is very important.   Especially if the pregnancy period falls on fall-winter-spring (as I had).

Proper preparation for pregnancy is no less important. It is necessary to approach this issue very carefully, having undergone a thorough physical examination and treated the existing shortcomings. For example, I have certain problems with the thyroid gland, so when planning I underwent an ultrasound and hormonal examination. Gynecologists advise starting taking multivitamin complexes just during this period - at the time of active preparation for pregnancy.

Why is it important that sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals during pregnancy and what consequences can lead to a deficiency of certain components?

1. The likelihood of formation is reduced congenital pathologies.
2. Adequate vitamins contribute to proper development of all organsand structures in the developing fetus (especially the nervous system and brain).
3. Severity decreases toxicosisand eliminated it negative consequences.
4. Pregnancy itself is proceeding easierand the probability of its pathological course decreases.
5. Immunity increases  - Thus, a woman’s body very vulnerable to viral diseases receives additional protection.
6. Many diseases are prevented - the development of anemia, problems with bones and teeth.
7. A sufficient amount of vitamin complexes supports milk production  when breastfeeding and saturates it with useful components.
8. Allows you to look good during pregnancy -   stops hair loss, brittle nails, skin condition improves.

The effect of systemic vitamins on the pregnancy process itself is very important:

The efficacy of VITRUM PRENATAL FORTE as a means of preventing placental insufficiency, toxicosis, anemia, the threat of termination of pregnancy, viral infections that occur during pregnancy has been confirmed

How to take? Course of treatment and dosage for pregnant women

In any case, before taking even the harmless vitamins of the pregnant woman, you should consult your doctor. For example, if a woman has an excess of thyroid hormones, then the additional intake of drugs containing iodine (and in Vitrum Prenatal Forte its 150 mcg) is highly undesirable.

Therefore, you do not need to thoughtlessly go to the pharmacy for vitamins, guided by the principle - all pregnant women are prescribed, which means I need it.

Vitrum Prenatale Forte is assigned BEFORE, TIME and AFTER pregnancy. In the absence of urgent need (rational nutrition, the absence of toxicosis), this can be taken in exchange courses for a month.

During pregnancy, I drank them almost constantly, as there was absolutely no appetite, and after 10 weeks I began a period of protracted illnesses.

Contraindications

Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose:

Interaction with other medicines

The drug contains iron and calcium and therefore can delay the absorption in the intestines of antibiotics from the tetracycline group, as well as antimicrobials - derivatives of fluoroquinolones.

Vitamin C enhances the action and side effects of antimicrobials from the sulfonamides group (including the appearance of crystals in the urine).

Antacids containing aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and colestyramine reduce iron absorption.

With the simultaneous administration of diuretics from the thiazide group, the likelihood of hypercalcemia increases.

Side effects

Allergic reactions to the components of the drug are possible.

It is possible to stain urine in an intense yellow color, which is not dangerous, since it is due to the presence of riboflavin in the composition of the drug.

The multivitamin complex was very well tolerated by me. I did not notice a critical and so noticeable staining of urine, maybe because I drank a lot of fluids.

Personal feelings when taking vitamins

My second pregnancy was very difficult.  At 10 weeks I suffered acute sinusitis, there was a long recovery period. The nose did not breathe until the very birth, I continued to constantly ache. There was no appetite at all (however, like nausea), the food had to be shoved into oneself in order to somehow support the forces. As a result, in the first 6 months of pregnancy, I lost almost 7 kg (from the initial weight).

I drank Vitrum Prenatale Forte regularly, throughout pregnancy (I can’t boast of a super-mode, of course, sometimes I missed the reception, but it was rare). I can say for sure - these vitamins probably made up for the deficiency of vitamins and minerals.

The only catch is that, as we know, for vitamins to be absorbed, they need transport in the form of food. That is, if there is nothing to eat, then drinking the complex is useless. That is why I drank Vitrum in the morning, when at least something else climbed into me.

Yes,   there was no fantastic effect in the form of strong immunity, chic appearance and other charms.  But who knows, maybe if I didn’t drink additional vitamins, the condition it would be worse?

I will go over the main external indicators:

• Hair did not fall much - but they just stopped growing. Absolutely. That is, I literally cut my hair to the shoulders just before pregnancy, with the same haircut I went to give birth - my hair grew less than 2 cm. The start of growth began 3-4 months after the birth after many different procedures.
• Nails - have always been my problem. But during pregnancy, they began to bend in the opposite direction, even cut under the root - and this caused me a lot of inconvenience.
• Skin - I have never been as pimple as during my second pregnancy. Even as a teenager. I was strewn everywhere, and if I still somehow managed to cope with it, then ATAS was generally with shoulders and back, which passed safely after childbirth.
• Teeth. After the first birth, I simultaneously lost 2 teeth and had to heal a bunch. Oddly enough, the second pregnancy in this regard had less impact on their condition. But in addition to Vitrum, I also drank calcium citrate, maybe this is a merit?
• Anemia. I want to dwell on this point in more detail. In the first pregnancy, I had a severe drop in hemoglobin, which required an additional intake of an iron-containing drug. This time, the hemoglobin level was stable and did not fall below 100. I think this is the merit of Vitrum.

Vitrum Prenatale Forte while breastfeeding

I continued to drink the drug after childbirth. And now I more clearly feel his support. It fully covers my needs for vitamins and minerals, so I'm pleased with the effect. And even after the terrible side effects that were noted after taking Lactinet's hormonal contraceptives, I managed to recover quite quickly.

Output

Vitrum Prenatale Forte is a good and fairly complete complex for pregnant and lactating women. But it should be remembered that this is not panacea , which will protect your hair, teeth and skin from such a sharp hormonal changes.

I can unequivocally say that there were quite a lot of benefits from the reception, this complex helped me survive not the easiest part of my life. Therefore, I recommend with a clear conscience, but only by agreement with your doctor.

Pharmacological properties

They are determined by the complex of vitamins and minerals that make up the drug.

Vitamin A is involved in the synthesis of various substances (proteins, lipids, mucopolysaccharides).

Vitamin D3 plays an important role in maintaining the balance of calcium and phosphorus in the pregnant woman. With its deficiency, children develop rickets, and in adults, the bone content of calcium decreases in bone tissue (osteoporosis).

B vitamins are involved in the formation of enzymes that regulate different types of metabolism in the body.

Folic acid is necessary for the normal formation of blood cells, stimulates erythropoiesis, is involved in the synthesis of amino acids. In the early stages of pregnancy, it reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus.

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant. Prevents increased blood coagulation and has a beneficial effect on peripheral blood circulation. Participates in the synthesis of proteins and hemoglobin, in the process of cell growth, the function of skeletal muscles, heart and blood vessels, and gonads. Vitamin E deficiency in the early stages of pregnancy can cause a miscarriage.

Vitamin C is involved in the oxidation of a number of biologically active substances, the regulation of metabolism in connective tissue, carbohydrate metabolism, blood coagulation and tissue regeneration, stimulates the formation of steroid hormones, normalizes capillary permeability, increases the body's resistance to infections, and reduces inflammatory reactions.

Calcium is involved in the formation of bone tissue, blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, reduction of skeletal and smooth muscles, normal heart function. It also promotes iron absorption.

Iron is part of the hemoglobin molecule, participates in the transfer of oxygen in the body and prevents the development of anemia in a pregnant woman, especially during the second and third trimesters.

Zinc is necessary for the normal formation of the skeleton of the fetus and tissue regeneration, is part of some hormones, including insulin, reduces the likelihood of a number of intrauterine abnormalities.
