What Most People Get Wrong About Prenatal Supplements
Fertility co.
Ok, so I know this is a BIG call, but there is one thing I ALWAYS stand by when it comes to prenatal supplements.
It COMPLETELY changed the way I thought about pre-conception care and early pregnancy. And I think it will for you too.
One size doesn't fit all.
Sounds obvious, right?
In this episode of the podcast I’m sharing what most people get wrong about prenatal supplements. We’ll talk about whether they are always necessary, when to take them and whether they’ll actually help you to conceive. And most of all, we’ll talk about why a supplement will never be a substitute for a healthy, nourishing diet.
Here’s What We’re Talking About:
- Are prenatal supplements necessary? Why you shouldn’t rely on them alone to fill all of your nutritional requirements during preconception and pregnancy.
- Why nutrition should always be prioritised over supplementation
- Essential nutrients for preconception and pregnancy, with a focus on folic acid vs folate and iodine
- Can prenatal supplements help you to conceive?
- When to start taking prenatal supplements (and when to stop)
- Building your preconception plate
