The Importance of Vitamins and Minerals During Pregnancy

Pregnancy Test 

If you and your partner are trying out for a baby and want to check whether you have conceived or not, then use our reliable and accurate pregnancy level testers from Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Tests and Predictor.

Getting the right vitamins is absolutely essential for expectant mothers, as it's a crucial time for both you and your unborn child. The nutritional choices you make now could determine the rest of your baby's life, so make sure you are putting their needs first as well as considering your own health.

Sometimes ordering supplementary pregnancy vitamins from an online pharmacy can be a convenient way to ensure you both get the vitamins and minerals you need, alongside a healthy diet. Here are some of the main things your bodies will need during pregnancy, along with some helpful products available from our registered Online Pharmacy UK shop.

Folic acid 

This is widely recommended during pregnancy and women expecting a baby are advised to take folic acid supplements in order to get enough of it. For the first three months of your pregnancy, you should most likely be taking 400 mcg of folic acid each day. It can also help you conceive, so it's good to take it while you're trying for a baby. Folic acid is usually found in green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, nuts, and brown rice among other foods.

Calcium 

Calcium is important for pregnant women since the unborn baby is going to be demanding it as their bones form. This means extra calcium is needed for the mother to maintain her own bone density. You can get it from dairy products like milk or calcium supplements.

Vitamin D 

This is a particularly vital thing to get more of while pregnant since it supports the processing of that vital calcium in both mother and child. It's hard to get enough of it from food or sunlight for many people, so often this is an advisable supplement for any adult, let alone a woman expecting a baby.

Vitamin D and folic acid are both included in Vitabiotics Pregnacare Plus Omega 3 tablets, part of the highly recommended range of pregnancy vitamins our online pharmacy offers. Browse through our Online Chemist Shop to find more supplements and other items that may help you during and after your pregnancy, or contact us to inquire about anything you're looking for.

Do You Know Your Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in your arteries. You need a certain amount of pressure in your arteries to keep the blood flowing. Your heart pumps blood around the body through the arteries by contracting and relaxing. High blood pressure can cause the arteries to become clogged up and the possibility in bursting. These problems can lead to a heart attack, stroke, kidney diseases or dementia. Luckily, there are lots of ways to detect and take control of your blood pressure in order to avoid any future problems from high blood pressure. One way is with home blood pressure monitors.

Blood Pressure Monitors

Automatic blood pressure monitors are the best way to measure your blood pressure. They can be an upper arm, wrist or finger and can vary in price. We at Online Pharmacy UK have several types of blood pressure monitors that will fit your needs and budget.

The most popular product at www.lifepharmacy.co.uk is the Omron M2 Basic Blood Pressure Monitor with Intellisense with one button operation. It has large 3 reading display and last memory reading. A similar product but with 21 memory compatibility is the Omron M2 Blood Pressure Monitor with Intellisense and Memory. It contains exact features as the Omron M2 Basic but with added 21 memory function that will help you to record your previous readings for future use. These both models have standard medium sized cuffs from 22-32cm.

A more advanced product at www.lifepharmacy.co.uk is the Omron Blood Pressure Monitor. It contains PC compatibility which lets your upload your measurements on your laptop or computer and offers you graphical measurement of your blood pressure. This lets you better and fully analyse the level of your blood pressure. It is dual sized meaning that the cuff size is from 22-42; suitable for both medium sized and large arm individuals.

Our top of the range at www.lifepharmacy.co.uk is the Omron MIT Elite Plus Digital Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor which offers 'Morning Hypertension, 'PC-Connectivity and Intellisense. Most people show their highest blood pressure readings in the morning. The 'morning surge' goes parallel with higher rates of stroke and heart attack. Detection and keeping track of possible 'Morning Hypertension' reduces the risk factor for strokes and heart attacks. This device has Intellisense that ensures that the right inflation is detected which gives accurate readings and avoids painful measuring on the arm. It also has PC connectivity, which means you can upload your results to your PC to give you a better analysis.

The Omron R2 Wrist Digital Blood Pressure Monitor lets you measure your blood pressure on your wrist rather than upper arm. This handy product is light weight and easy to use with 30 memory functionality but it's not as accurate as the upper arm models due to the level of pulse on your wrist than compared on our arm.

All these blood pressure monitors mentioned and plus more, are available on our website for purchase and immediate dispatch with special discounted prices. If you want more information then please either visit on our website at Online Pharmacy UK Shop or call us on 0207 511 8292
