Which nutrient does the body show dramatic increase in absorption for during pregnancy?

More efficient uptake and utilisation of calcium occurs naturally during pregnancy via physiological adaptations, including increased calcium absorption stimulated by hormones (vitamin D, oestrogen, lactogen and prolactin) and enhanced retention of calcium by kidney tubules [13].

Which of the following nutrients are required in higher amounts during pregnancy?

During pregnancy you need folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin D, choline, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and vitamin C. See the below table for recommended amounts. Fortified cereal, enriched bread and pasta, peanuts, dark green leafy vegetables, orange juice, beans.

Which of the following nutrients are required in higher amounts during pregnancy due to their roles in the synthesis?

Folic acid, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin D (in addition to energy and protein), are the main micronutrients for which the requirement physiologically increases during pregnancy and lactation.

Which of the following nutrients are required in higher amounts during pregnancy due to their roles in the synthesis of DNA and new cells?

for folate vitamin b12, iron, zinc, the needs are especially GREAT b/c of their key roles in the synthesis of DNA and new cells.

What nutrient does the body show a dramatic increase in absorption for during pregnancy?

The absorption of iron is increased in pregnancy. The absorption varies depending on intake and other dietary compounds. Since, iron intake in pregnancy is generally well below recommended levels, iron supplementation is recommended for all women after the 12th week of pregnancy when needs increase.

Which nutrients are required in larger amounts during pregnancy quizlet?

Vitamin A and C are needed in high amounts during pregnancy because they are both important elements in tissue growth. The need for vitamin B increased during pregnancy because of vital role of these vitamins as coenzyme factors for energy production and protein metabolism.

Does pregnancy affect nutrient absorption?

ABSTRACT. Pregnancy consists of a series of small, continuous physiologic adjustments that affect the metabolism of all nutrients. The adjustments undoubtedly vary widely from woman to woman depending on her prepregnancy nutrition, genetic determinants of fetal size, and maternal lifestyle behavior.

Which of the following nutrients are required in higher amounts during pregnancy due to their roles in the growth and development?

Folic acid, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin D (in addition to energy and protein), are the main micronutrients for which the requirement physiologically increases during pregnancy and lactation.
