FAQs

Why take food supplements during pregnancy?

According to health professionals, the nutritional needs of the expectant mother are greater during pregnancy, both for the development and good health of the baby, but also for the proper development of the placenta for example.
If their first piece of advice is to adopt a varied diet, this is not always possible due to our lifestyle (stress, fatigue) or now ultra-processed products.
Prenatal vitamins will help limit deficiencies (and therefore the risks of complications during pregnancy and childbirth) and reduce certain symptoms such as fatigue or nausea during pregnancy.

What food supplement should I take during pregnancy?

Although every woman is different and therefore has specific needs during her pregnancy, the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF) and the High Authority for Health (HAS) agree to recommend that expectant mothers take vitamin B9 and D supplements.
What is vitamin B9 used for?? For any pregnancy project, vitamin B9 supplementation, also called folic acid, is recommended 4 weeks before conception and up to 8 weeks after, with a recommended dose of 400 ug per day. Folic acid is involved in all processes of growth and cell division and prevents malformations of the nervous system, particularly of the neural tube. In France, nearly 75% of women of childbearing age have insufficient nutritional intake of vitamin B9.
Vitamin D supplementation is also essential for pregnant women. In fact, a deficiency increases the risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure associated with a loss of protein in the urine that can cause premature delivery), gestational diabetes and an imbalance of the vaginal flora.
However, other nutrients are also essential during pregnancy, such as choline, iodine, and magnesium. Your healthcare professional may also order a blood test to check for possible deficiencies, including iron deficiency. If you are anemic, they may prescribe airon supplement.

 

Pourquoi la vitamine B9 (ou acide folique) est-elle si importante avant et pendant la grossesse ?

La vitamine B9 ou acide folique est un élément essentiel au bon développement du fœtus, elle est cruciale avant même la conception. Au-delà d'éviter la malformation du système nerveux du bébé, l'acide folique joue un rôle fondamental global dans la synthèse de l'ADN et la division cellulaire, qui est un processus à l'œuvre pendant les premières semaines de grossesse. Une carence en cette vitamine peut augmenter les risques de malformations congénitales (comme celles du tube neural). C'est pourquoi une supplémentation est recommandée en complément d'une alimentation riche en folates naturels (légumes verts, légumineuses), pour constituer des réserves suffisantes qui permettront au corps de la future mère de soutenir la croissance de son bébé dès les premières semaines.

Quels sont les produits déconseillés pendant la grossesse ?

La grossesse requiert une attention particulière sur les habitudes de consommation. Il est primordial d'éliminer l'alcool et de réduire la consommation de caféine. Côté alimentation, on évite de manger crus ou mal cuits les viandes, poissons et œufs, ainsi que certains fromages au lait cru, pour se prémunir contre les risques de listériose et de toxoplasmose.
Pour les soins corporels, il est conseillé de se méfier des cosmétiques contenant des perturbateurs endocriniens, comme certains phtalates ou parabènes. Il est toujours judicieux de consulter la liste des ingrédients ou de demander l'avis d'un professionnel de santé pour toute incertitude.
Dans cet esprit de précaution, les compléments alimentaires d'origine naturelle de la collection grossesse de Boome sont un choix logique pour une supplémentation saine qui harmonise les manques de votre alimentation.
