In this article we will look at how to take Complivit Mama.
Nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding is often unable to provide a woman with the required amount of beneficial microelements and vitamins, as a result of which the condition of nails, hair or skin, as well as general well-being, can significantly deteriorate. The “Complivit Mama” vitamin complex can easily solve this problem.
The composition of this drug is such that it covers 80% of the daily requirement of a pregnant woman’s body for minerals. In addition to improving the general condition, the medication ensures the proper development of the fetus and newborn baby in the first months after birth.

What are the differences between prenatal vitamins?
When starting to choose a multivitamin, many women ask how prenatal vitamins differ from others. The main difference, of course, is the composition. Scientists have long determined how much and what substances an adult, child or expectant mother needs for the normal functioning of the body.
Pregnancy vitamins include all the substances any adult woman needs, plus substances that ensure the proper development of pregnancy.
Everyone knows that pregnant women need more calcium, because their body not only maintains bones in normal condition - a new little person is growing inside it. That is why the amount of calcium in vitamins for expectant mothers is significantly increased. There is also a lot of folic acid or vitamin B9 (800 mg instead of the usual 400 mg) and vitamin E. The volumes of other useful substances are also increased.
pharmachologic effect
The complex action of the medication is ensured by the effects of all the components that make up Complivita Mama.
Specialized production technology allows you to combine several vitamins, minerals, macro- and microelements in 1 tablet.
Alpha-tocopherol acetate is an antihypoxant and can have a positive effect on the condition of muscle tissue, the nervous system, and the gonads.
Vitamin E prevents the development of hemolysis and maintains a stable state of red blood cells - erythrocytes . In early pregnancy , a lack of alpha-tocopherol acetate can lead to miscarriage.
Retinol acetate is involved in the processes of synthesis of lipids, proteins (proteins), mucopolysaccharides. Vitamin A takes an active part in most redox processes in the body.
Retinol normalizes the course of oogenesis , spermatogenesis , promotes the growth and development of the placenta, and has a positive effect on the differentiation and development of embryonic tissues (including the skeletal system, epithelial structures).
Regulates bone growth , ensures the integrity of epithelial tissue structures, normalizes visual perception (color, twilight), takes part in the formation of visual pigments.
Thiamine hydrochloride takes an active part in the functioning of the nervous system and acts as a coenzyme .
Riboflavin is the main catalyst for the processes of visual perception and cellular respiration.
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and in protein metabolism, acting as a coenzyme. Long-term use of oral contraceptives depletes the supply of vitamin B6 in a woman’s body. The use of the medication during pregnancy allows you to compensate for the lack of pyridoxine hydrochloride caused by taking contraceptives.
Cyanocobalamin is necessary for the synthesis of myelin , participates in the processes of hematopoiesis, normal growth, epithelial development, and nucleotide .
Vitamin B12 is actively involved in the metabolism of folic acid .
Nicotinamide is necessary for tissue respiration. Vitamin PP is involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
Ascorbic acid ensures the maturation of red blood cells - erythrocytes , affects the formation of hemoglobin , maintains the healthy state of the skeletal system, cartilage tissue, and teeth. A lack of vitamin C reduces the body's resistance to the effects of infectious agents and reduces resistance to inflammatory processes.
Ca pantothenate participates in the processes of oxidation and acetylation, acting as the main part of coenzyme A. Vitamin B5 helps normalize the regeneration processes of endothelial and epithelial tissues and promotes their construction.
Folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy reduces the risk of the formation of maxillofacial defects and neural tube defects in the fetus. Folic acid is required for the normal course of erythropoiesis and is involved in the processes of synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids and nucleic acids.
Iron ensures the transport of oxygen to tissues and takes part in the processes of erythropoiesis. In pregnant women, it prevents the development of anemia (the effect is pronounced in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters).
Copper strengthens the walls of arteries and veins, prevents the development of osteoporosis , hypoxia of tissues and organs , and anemia.
Manganese prevents the formation of osteoarthritis and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Zinc ensures the complete and healthy formation of the fetal skeleton and takes part in hormone formation (including insulin ). Prevents the development of intrauterine anomalies and is necessary for tissue regeneration. Together with retinol, it promotes the formation of healthy visual perception (color and twilight vision).
Magnesium prevents preeclampsia , spontaneous delivery, and premature birth. Has a sedative effect and stabilizes blood pressure .
Phosphorus is a component of ATP, the source of cellular energy. Enhances mineralization and helps strengthen teeth and bone tissue.
Calcium takes part in the regulation of the cardiovascular system, in the transmission of neuromuscular impulses, in the contractions of smooth muscle tissue and skeletal muscles. Helps normalize blood clotting and participates in the formation of the skeletal system.
Contraindications
This drug has the following contraindications:
- intolerance to any of the above components;
- urolithiasis disease;
- excess calcium and iron in the body;
- vitamin A hypervitaminosis;
- age up to 12 years;
- percinous anemia, which is caused by B12 deficiency.
Interaction
The rate of absorption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics and Tetracycline from the digestive tract slows down, since the medication contains Ca and Fe.
Ascorbic acid can enhance the severity of negative reactions and the pharmacological effect of sulfonamide antimicrobial agents .
In some cases, crystalluria during joint therapy. Cholestyramine and antacids containing Mg, Ca, Al slow down the absorption and absorption of Fe.
Thiazide diuretics contribute to the development of hypercalcemia .
special instructions
The daily amount of retinol acetate should not exceed 5000 IU during pregnancy, which must be taken into account when treating this group of patients.
The simultaneous intake of other vitamin complexes is unacceptable to prevent the development of overdose and hypervitaminosis. Riboflavin can give urine a specific amber, bright yellow hue, which does not require discontinuation of the medication and is a safe manifestation of therapy.

Do I need iodine?
A sufficient supply of iodine is a condition for the normal course of pregnancy and childbirth.
Iodine is part of the thyroid hormones, which regulate the formation and development of the fetus. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy leads to developmental delays and congenital developmental defects in the child (deafness, mental retardation up to cretinism, underweight, etc.). A woman with a lack of iodine develops a goiter of the thyroid gland. However, 70% of Russia's territory is iodine deficient. According to research by the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Russian women receive only 27-37% of the amount of iodine required during pregnancy from food. The situation is complicated by the fact that many expectant mothers are afraid to take iodine-containing vitamin complexes. And in vain, since taking iodine supplements during pregnancy is contraindicated only for Graves' disease. Less than 2% of the world's population suffers from this disease.

Even before pregnancy, it is necessary to prepare your body for bearing a child. To do this, take vitamins that strengthen the immune system and improve the functioning of most internal organs and systems.
