When I was pregnant I took prenatal vitamins because they had extra folic acid which is important for development of babies brain and body parts. Now that I am no longer pregnant, I still take my vitamins because I want to live a nice long life and be around for my baby. I take a multivitamin but then I also take a Vitamin C and D on the side. I also take Ginkgo Biloba for my memory and sometimes I take milk thistle for my liver ( after a night of drinking! ) What brand of vitamins do you recommend for new mothers?
Hi Sophia thank you so much for your comment. Yes since I have started researching for this article I realize how spices and herbs added to our diet is beneficial to our health. And it is so convenient that we can get these essential spices and herbs in supplements.
I agree that supplements help with overall wellbeing.
I’ve been taking some sort of supplement since I was a kid. The only thing that has changed is the reason why I take them.
I no longer take them because Mom told me to, I now take them because without them, I can definitely feel the difference in my energy levels and focus throughout the day.
Aria thank you for your comment. Yes, we have to take supplements to help us get the necessary amounts of nutrients our body need because of our environment the soil is no longer capable of supplying all the nutrients needed We need them more as we get older.
