Listening to Yourself: Vitamins for Non-Breastfeeding Moms

{{{TEMP_MARK_24}}}{{{TEMP_MARK_2}}}

1. Not all components listed in a multivitamin complex are always necessary for a woman. First, it is important to determine which vitamins non-breastfeeding women are lacking after childbirth.
2. In multivitamins, numerous elements are usually present in preventive dosages, meaning they will not replenish a deficiency if it exists. Multivitamins will not cover a therapeutic dose.
3. Synthetic vitamins are not always well absorbed by the body – it is more natural for a person to get them from food. Therefore, dietary adjustments are more important than taking vitamins after childbirth for non-nursing mothers or those who have completed this process.
4. A deficiency of specific substances cannot always be identified on one’s own – a doctor’s consultation and examinations will be required. They will also determine the necessary therapeutic dosage.

Listen to your body – it’s beneficial not only for mothers but for everyone. The symptoms of vitamin deficiencies can be similar: fatigue, depression, deterioration of skin condition, hair and nails, decrease of immunity. In questionable cases, it’s important to verify the specifics of the deficiency with tests.

Hypervitaminosis is as dangerous as vitamin deficiency, so taking supplements impulsively and without control is not advisable. The body will absorb exactly what it needs from natural products – there’s no need to worry about overdosing; only overeating or allergic reactions should be considered. However, dietary adjustments alone may not always be sufficient in cases of significant deficiency.
