I am pregnant of 12 weeks, doctor suggested me Supracal for Calcium zinc & Mg source, is it enough for the calcium source or should i take milk & suppliment like Mama Proteinex for more calcium and elemental needs as foetus required more in this stage? Please let me know. Thanks
Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the calcium supplements are required along with dietary intake of calcium as there is calcium requirement by fetus.So you have take good amount of calcium to meet the needs.Also the calcium supplements are required even post delivery as there is loss of calcium in breast milk.This will prevent backache and joint pains.
