1. The 7 most important nutrients during pregnancy

From the 4th month of pregnancy, the body needs about 250 kilocalories more per day, towards the end of pregnancy it is about 500. However, the ingredients of the food are more important than the quantity. Food supplements can be used to support a balanced diet in a targeted way, and an undersupply can be avoided.

The most important nutrients during pregnancy are:

  • Folic acid: essential for the nervous system. An undersupply can lead to neural tube defects.
  • Vitamin D3: supports bone formation and the immune system.
  • Vitamin K2: influences the formation of bones and the jaw.
  • Iron: enables blood formation.
  • Iodine: is important for the formation of the thyroid hormone.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: essential as a building block of brain and nerve cells and the retina of the eyes.
  • Calcium: essential for building cooking and teeth.
You can find detailed information on which foods contain these nutrients and nutritional recommendations in our free pregnancy guide.
