The Department of Health recommends that women should take a daily supplement of 0.4mg of folic acid while they are trying to conceive, and should continue taking this dose for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's spine is developing. Therefore, it doesn't help a woman to get pregnant, it assists with the spinal development of the fetus.
No neither of these will effect a pregnancy test.
I assume you heard the rumor that papaya can make you abort. That apparently is in very large amounts and ripe or unripe. I've read different things online and so far found nothing to back it up. Either way can you safely eat a normal amount of any fruit when pregnant. Fruit is healthy. Just be careful if you are in the risk of pregnancy diabetes. Fruit is sugar too.
There are 280 IU (or approximately 140μg in real weight) of vitamin A in one chicken's egg.
All the egg's Vitamin A is contained in the yolk.
Your daily intake should be between 2000 and 3000 IU, depending on your age and gender.
Folic acid should be taken by a woman who hopes to become pregnant and during the early months of pregnancy. It is one of the B vitamins and it helps to prevent defects such as spina bifida. This is an abnormality caused by the brain and spinal cord failing to develop properly.
Pre-natal vitamins are available in most pharmacies. In some cases, doctors will write a prescription for a woman to take pre natal vitamins. Vitamins that are important right before and during pregnancy are: folate or folic acid (for babies brain and spinal development) and calcium/vitamin D to keep mom's bones strong. Vitamin C is also a good one because it will help mom stay healthy during the pregnancy.
You should be taking 0.5mg of folate per day for three months before you fall pregnancy and for your entire pregnancy. Studies have shown that to be most effective you need to take this EVERY day, not just 6 days a week and hope for the best on the other day.
The last answer told you to: assuming the same pharmacy produced both doses, in other words, assuming that what you have is actually 'folic acid', then 400mcg is the same as .4 milligrams which is equal to 4/1000th of a gram.
Yet they still failed to answer the question: 1 milligram = 1000 mcg
if this is for the Flintstones vitamins just take either 2.5 or 3 of them and you should be fine.
Yes, vitamin B12 is essential for producing blood cells and for maintaining and building a healthy nervous system. It exists in most foodstuffs, particularly in meat, fish and eggs. Vegans may need to supplement their diet with it.
My Wife and I both take Natatab vitamins which was presribed by her Doctor. She is 47 and I 50. They were highly recommended by her Doctor and we haven't found any vitamins which give us the same energy that these pills do. Hope this helps. John
Folic acid is the man-made version of the vitamin folate (also known as vitamin B9).
Folate helps the body make healthy red blood cells If we do not have enough folic acid, the body can make abnormally large red blood cells that do not work properly
help unborn baby's brain, skull and spinal cord develop properly to avoid development problems (called neural tube defects) such as spina bifida
Flintstone's vitamins are safe as long as they are administered according to directions. Also, as with all vitamins and minerals it's important to keep in a secured place away from children to avoid overdose.
If you are trying to get pregnant then yes, start prenatal vitamins right away. You don't have to wait until you get pregnant. Talk to your doctor and he/she will be able to get you started and answer any questions you should have.
Pregnant womens nails and hair of course grow quicker and stronger with or without vitamins due to the amped up hormones in their bodies.
No. You are not supposed to take them when trying to conceive. But every body should take multivitamin preparation like Becadexamin daily. Unless to take lot of green leafy vegetables or fresh fruits in your diet. Multivitamin preparations with high dose of multivitamins are not recommended for daily use. Your kidney has to excrete the extra dose.
You would have to take 25 - 400 microgram pills to equal a dose of 10 milligrams.
I am curious why you want to take so much? Daily folic acid requirement is about 1000 micrograms (or 2 1/2 of the 400 micrograms pills). 1 milligram = 1000 micrograms.
Spotting and mucus can be normal at 17 weeks, especially if you have recently had intercourse or an internal physical exam, such as a pap smear. However, if it is accompanied by abdominal pain or nausea you should see your doctor right away.
It is safe to take. I helps prevent neural tube disorders in babies.
