Calcium is an essential nutrient regardless of your fertility status, but when you’re pre- or post-natal, it’s particularly important.
In your prenatal, Calcium ensures that your baby’s bones develop and the mineral supports your own skeletal health—did you know that if you don’t consume enough Calcium during pregnancy you could be at higher risk for osteoporosis later in life? In the third trimester your baby’s bone development peaks and they need about 250 to 350 milligrams from you every day.
Postpartum, your body needs increased Calcium for a full year to support lactation, blood pressure, muscle function, blood clotting, the nervous system and hormone production (whew!). Pairing Calcium with its mineral BFF Magnesium helps to ease anxiety and muscle tension.
Note: Make sure to take this one separate from your prenatal or postpartum vitamins to ensure that the Calcium doesn’t get in the way of Iron and Folic Acid Absorption.
If your diet lacks dairy or Calcium-rich foods or if you’ve been advised to take additional calcium due to other health factors, you may need an additional Calcium boost to ensure you’re getting the heightened requirements you need during the prenatal, pregnancy and postpartum periods.
Absolutely love these vitamins. Bird&Be has manufactured this product to be idiot proof with a dispensing box, number packages and of course proper labeling. The Subscription Portal is easy to use when making changes and the customer service is phenomenal. These pills have not been harsh on my stomach at all, I take the Prenatal Essentials after breakfast and the Calcium / Magnesium Boost before bed as suggested.
