Preventing** preeclampsia (follow doctors orders at onset of preeclampsia and discuss all supplements with care provider!):
-
Calcium. If you have low levels of calcium, or are at risk for high blood pressure, some studies show 2,000 mg of calcium per day may lower the risk of developing preeclampsia.
-
Vitamin D. Some studies suggest that having low levels of vitamin D raise a pregnant woman's risk for preeclampsia. One preliminary study found that taking vitamin D supplements appeared to reduce the risk of preeclampsia. However, women in the study also consumed high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish oil). So researchers are not sure if it was vitamin D or the combination that reduced the risk.
-
Folic acid and vitamin B6. May help prevent symptoms in women with a history of preeclampsia and high homocysteine levels. One study found a reduction in preeclampsia with supplementation of a multivitamin with folic acid.
-
Vitamin C and vitamin E.
-
Lycopene.
-
Magnesium. ( we recommend a calcium-Magnesium supplement for ALL clients for pelvic pain, cramps and irritable uterus from onset of pregnancy)
-
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).
-
Low dose aspirin. (**confirm with doctor)
-
Hawthorn berries (Crataegus laevigata)
-
Cramp bark (Viburnum opulus)
-
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum)
-
acupuncture for blood pressure reduction
-
exercise for blood flow
