Femibion ​​1 - vitamins for women during pregnancy

Indications for use

The product is a mineral-vitamin complex. The main indication is planning and pregnancy.

The drug is used to replenish the expectant mother’s body with useful micro- and macroelements, vitamins necessary for pregnancy to proceed without complications and for normal fetal development. The product can also be used if there is a deficiency of vitamins, macro- and microelements in the body.

Indications:

• when planning pregnancy - taken no later than six months in advance;
• lack of vitamins caused by improper or poor nutrition;
• development of early toxicosis - with a lack of nutrients.

Femibion ​​during pregnancy is prescribed to compensate for vitamin deficiencies.
The complex of B vitamins provides the body with the necessary carbohydrates, affects carbohydrate metabolism, improving metabolic functions. Antioxidants help saturate cells with oxygen and protect against the formation of free radicals. The components of the product strengthen the mother's immune system and improve the functioning of the thyroid gland.

How to use?

It is recommended to drink Femibion ​​1 one tablet per day, optimally during the morning meal (before noon). Such a recommendation will eliminate the effect of the drug on nighttime sleep, since many women become more active after taking multivitamins, so taking them in the evening may cause difficulty falling asleep. The product is swallowed whole; the tablet shell must not be damaged.

The Femibion ​​2 complex is also taken once a day. The expectant mother should alternately drink first the tablet and then the capsule, or vice versa. It is advisable to take both dosage forms during one meal. The drug should be taken with cool liquid, preferably plain still water.

The use of the complex should be abandoned in case of individual intolerance, for example, if a pregnant woman develops a rash, hyperemia, nausea, weakness or any other disorder after taking it.

If the expectant mother reacted with such symptoms to taking the Femibion ​​1 complex in the first trimester, then from the 13th week it is not recommended to drink complex number 2. In this situation, you should choose other multivitamins for pregnant women. In addition, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage (1 tablet or 1 tablet 1 capsule), trying to provide the body with more vitamins. Exceeding their quantity can harm both the expectant mother and the baby.

Before taking a dietary supplement, you should familiarize yourself not only with the composition, but also with the recommended dosages. If there is an overdose of beneficial substances, the well-being of a pregnant woman may worsen.

When planning

Taking Femibion ​​2 when planning pregnancy is not prohibited, but it is not entirely advisable. The composition of the drug is selected in such a way as to support pregnancy after 13 weeks. During planning, the need arises not for all the components indicated in the composition. During this period, it is enough to drink folic acid, iodine and B vitamins.

Femibion ​​2 vitamins are taken once a day in the morning. You need to take both an omega-3 capsule and a vitamin tablet. It is important to wash them down with plenty of water. Reception is carried out until childbirth, and in some cases continues further.

Attention! Before taking any vitamin complex, a woman should consult a gynecologist monitoring her pregnancy.

Composition and active ingredients: why are they needed when planning pregnancy

The drug Femobion 1 contains the following active ingredients:

• folates (folic acid and metafolin);
• vitamin C;
• vitamin E;
• B vitamins;
• vitamin PP;
• vitamin H;
• iodine.

Expectant parents urgently need vitamin B9 (folic acid), which ensures active cell division during the growth and development of the fetus, plays a leading role in the formation of the placenta and a healthy nervous system in the fetus, and prevents malformations and complications of pregnancy. Folic acid has been proven effective in preventing pathologies of the fetal neural tube, such as spina bifida and anencephaly (severe brain defects). Taking folic acid for three months before conception can significantly reduce the likelihood of these pathologies. For men, taking folic acid helps reduce the number of male germ cells with the wrong number of chromosomes, thereby preventing genetic diseases of the fetus.

According to the results of clinical studies, it has been established that regular consumption of folic acid for 3–4 months before conception prevents about 80% of cases of child development pathologies.

Many vitamins can be obtained from food, but with folic acid the situation is more complicated. Vitamin B9 is easily destroyed by exposure to ultraviolet radiation, heat (including during cooking) and during long-term storage. In addition, current food products contain less and less nutrients. According to statistics, every second woman is deficient in folic acid, and taking hormonal drugs, alcohol, smoking and intestinal diseases aggravate the problem. Therefore, the first prescription of doctors for future parents is folic acid, in its pure form or as part of complex products.

The maximum amount of folic acid is found in green leaves and fruits of plants, as well as in liver, cottage cheese and eggs.

Femibion ​​1 contains two forms of folic acid: regular and metafolin (levomefolic acid). Metafolin is a biologically active form of folic acid, the most accessible for absorption in the human body. Thanks to this, the expectant mother taking Femibion ​​is guaranteed to receive the required daily dose of vitamin B9.

Folic acid is often called the “good mood vitamin”, because it has a beneficial effect on a woman’s emotional state and activity, and also helps the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, digestive organs and improves immunity.

Vitamin E or tocopherol plays an equally significant role in the reproduction process. The very name of this substance is translated from Greek as “bearing offspring.” Tocopherol is responsible for the balanced hormonal background of the female body and ensures the normal occurrence of such important processes as ovulation, consolidation of the fertilized egg in the uterus and the formation of the placenta. In representatives of the stronger sex, vitamin E improves sperm quality. Therefore, both future parents are recommended to take tocopherol along with folic acid even before conception.

In addition to folic acid, Femibion ​​contains many other essential vitamins

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) improves immunity, thereby protecting a pregnant woman from pathogens, infections, colds and even allergies. In addition, the powerful antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid protects the woman’s reproductive system from free radicals, accelerates metabolic processes in the body and tissue regeneration. This useful element also helps in the absorption of iron, thereby preventing anemia, which often develops during pregnancy. However, an overdose of ascorbic acid can lead to miscarriage, and it is quite difficult to calculate how much of it is obtained from food. With a high-quality and varied diet, the need for this vitamin can be fully satisfied, so caution should be exercised when consuming it.

B vitamins regulate metabolism, the formation of proteins, the production of the muscular, skeletal and nervous systems of the embryo, as well as its liver and heart, and protect the expectant mother from severe toxicosis. In men, these substances increase sperm viability.

B vitamins have a positive effect on many functions of the female body and increase the chances of safely bearing and giving birth to a healthy baby.

Biotin (vitamin H) is required for the successful division of the child’s cells, as well as for the woman’s well-being and reduction of symptoms of toxicosis, and nicotinic acid (vitamin PP) improves the functions of the digestive tract and the condition of the skin and hair, fights migraines and insomnia, improves blood flow in blood vessels placenta.

The absence of vitamin A (retinol) in Femibion ​​is explained by the availability of data on the potential danger of this substance to the fetus.

Femibion ​​contains the daily requirement of iodine, the deficiency of which in the body increases the risk of miscarriage. In addition, iodine ensures the normal formation of many systems and organs of the unborn child. It is especially important to take iodine supplements for women living in iodine-deficient regions. However, there are a number of contraindications to taking iodine during pregnancy, for example, increased thyroid function, liver and kidney diseases, and others. Therefore, you should not take Femibion ​​without a doctor’s prescription.

Reviews

Yulia, 32 years old

I wanted to limit myself to taking folic acid, but the gynecologist advised me to take Femibion ​​1 right away three months before conception. I took it for only 2 weeks and gave it up because I had an allergy. Then I just ate healthy food, in the end all the examinations showed that my health and that of the baby without any Femibion ​​during the entire pregnancy were excellent.

Anna, 42 years old

My husband and I are both not young, but we planned to have a child. On the advice of the doctor, I took the vitamin complex Femibion ​​1 before pregnancy and in the first 12 weeks. I didn't notice any side effects. And this is important because it can be difficult for pregnant women to choose vitamins. The slight toxicosis soon passed, but now I continue to drink Femibion ​​2. The baby is developing well, and this is the most important thing.

And I did without it, fortunately. Thank you vitamins.

Why are synthetic vitamins needed for those planning pregnancy?

In many European countries, during various important periods of life, most people are accustomed to drinking handfuls of vitamins. No matter how we feel about it, the standard of living of the population and its duration in these countries speak for themselves.

Why is it so necessary to take any vitamins at the time of a planned pregnancy and is it possible to get by with proper nutrition? It turns out that in practice it is not so simple. Stressful living conditions, atmospheric pollution, bad habits and food from supermarkets have little to do with a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, it is extremely important for a woman to get enough nutrients as much as possible when preparing for pregnancy, so that when carrying a baby, she can give him everything he needs.
