During pregnancy, there are specific nutrients that are essential for both you and your baby. Let's take a look at the most important ones.

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B11, is important from the moment you're trying to conceive. It plays a key role in the baby's early development, especially in the formation of the neural tube. Choose a supplement with active folic acid combined with vitamin B12 for optimal absorption.

Our tip: Folic acid not only helps your baby, but also supports your energy balance during pregnancy.

Iodine is crucial for your baby's brain development and a properly functioning thyroid. Deficiencies can lead to growth retardation and neurological problems. Besides supplements (vegan multivitamins), you can get iodine from foods like seaweed, eggs, and yogurt.

Selenium supports healthy thyroid function and can be supplemented by eating three Brazil nuts a day. Zinc , which aids in tissue repair and the immune system, is found in seeds like pumpkin and sunflower seeds, as well as in our vegan multivitamin .

Choline, a fatty substance, plays a vital role in your baby's brain development. It's found in foods like avocados, eggs, and nuts, but it's often not present in sufficient quantities in a regular diet. Therefore, choose a supplement that supplements this nutrient, such as our vegan multivitamin .

Did you know that your brain shrinks by about 5% during pregnancy? That's why healthy fats, like those found in salmon and fish oil, are especially important.

It's good to know that you don't need to take extra calcium . You can get plenty of calcium from green vegetables, nuts, and organic dairy products like Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Your body also adapts by absorbing calcium more efficiently during pregnancy.

Besides supplements, your lifestyle plays an important role. Here are some practical tips to support yourself and your baby:

• Eat more protein: Protein is the building blocks for growth. Add more legumes, eggs, and nuts to your diet.

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help your body transport nutrients efficiently.

• Keep moving: A daily walk or light yoga will help keep your body flexible and reduce stress.

• Give yourself some rest: Listen to your body and take time to relax. This will help not only you, but also your baby.

• Use the right fats: Choose healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, and coconut oil. These support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Your body does so much more work than you might realize. Did you know that during pregnancy, your body produces about 30-40% more blood to nourish your baby? Lying down with a cup of tea or just doing nothing isn't lazy; it's essential. Give yourself the care and nourishment you deserve.
