Patient's question:
Can pregnant women eat vitamin C tablets?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the daily intake of vitamin C for adults should not exceed 1 gram. In terms of boosting immunity, consuming vitamin C needs to be paired with a large amount of water to achieve the effect of expelling viruses.Low vitamin C levels help promote iron absorption, prevent gum bleeding in pregnant women, support the development of the fetus's gum tissue, and also enhance immunity and prevent colds. A certain amount of vitamin C is needed to fulfill its functions.
Vitamin D levels are low in the first trimester. Pregnant women require 400 IU of vitamin D daily, which can be obtained from daily diet and sunlight exposure, with the remainder supplemented through prenatal vitamins. This is especially important during winter when sunlight is scarce. Wishing you a happy pregnancy!
