Calcium helps support a healthy nervous, muscular and circulatory system as well as strong bones and teeth. If a mother is not consuming enough calcium through diet, the baby will draw the calcium it requires from the mother’s bones. While multivitamins provide many essential nutrients, calcium is better absorbed when taken away from iron.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for calcium during pregnancy is 1000mg per day for women 19 – 50 years of age. The average person can obtain 500-800 mg per day through diet. Therefore supplementation is an effective way to obtain the additional requirements the body needs during pregnancy.
