Nutritional Supplements for Pregnant Women in Ramadan
Nutritional supplements are products taken orally and contain various nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. The importance of nutritional supplements lies in:
Compensating for deficiencies in essential nutrients that may later lead to chronic diseases.
Increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures.
Compensating for missed meals or unhealthy dietary habits.
In reality, nutritional supplements and vitamins are not meant to replace food, as they cannot fully substitute or replicate the nutritional value and benefits of a balanced diet. Therefore, the role of supplements during Ramadan is to compensate for any nutritional deficiencies in the pregnant woman’s diet.
