Vitamins and Minerals for Preconception, Pregnancy & Postpartum: B Vitamins
This episode of the Wonderfully Woven Podcast is a quickfire overview of some of the B vitamins and some of their roles in specifically supporting the prenatal journey – including, B1 – thiamine, B2 - riboflavin, B3 - niacin, B5 - pantothenic acid, B6 - pyridoxine, B7 – biotin and B12 - cobalamin.
Some of their roles include:
- supporting the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) to provide energy for the body
- being used for enzymes that are involved in maintaining genome integrity & controlling gene expression which is important throughout embryonic development
- producing red blood cells and enhancing the transportation of oxygen to cells, to aid in the increase in blood volume throughout pregnancy
I share about a herbal tea recipe that you could look to adapt and incorporate to support your mineral balance and hydration in preparation for pregnancy, throughout your pregnancy journey and beyond!
