When you are expecting, it is vital that you give your body all of the nutrients and vitamins needed, including calcium for strong bones and teeth. I know that one thing my doctor told me was to really take care of my teeth during my pregnancy, as it tends to take a toll on your teeth and gums.

Assuring that you have all of the daily calcium requirements can be delicious and simple with the help of Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews. The simple fact is that approximately 68% of women are calcium deficient, and this is even more important when pregnant, as the developing baby needs calcium to build strong bones and teeth during development. They also need calcium for a healthy heart, nerves and muscles. When pregnant women lack the dietary needs, including calcium, the developing baby draws this much-needed calcium directly from YOUR bones, which can impact your overall health later on in life including lower bone mass and an increased fracture rate as you age. There are many popular prenatal vitamins, but they only have a small percentage of the recommended daily calcium.Many multivitamins, prenatal vitamins and mineral supplements provide only 20-30% of the recommended amount of calcium for women who are pregnant. This is where Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews can help. With two simple, small and delicious soft chews each day, you are getting 100% of the daily calcium you need. You will also absolutely LOVE the taste of the chews. The recommended daily amount of calcium is 1000mg. Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews are an easy way to get your daily amount recommended. They have two delightful flavors – chocolate and caramel. As an added bonus, they also contain Vitamins D & K. During my pregnancy, I had a strong craving for sweeter tasting things. I know that a lot of people will have similar cravings during pregnancy and adding Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews is a great way to get some needed vitamins in your system with a sweet, soft taste. I also like that they are not a hard, harsh pill that you have to swallow. Some women already feel nauseous during pregnancy and taking pills can be hard. With the soft chews, you are doing what you already do with your food, chewing it!

Pregnancy is a crucial time when maternal nutrition choices have major influence on you and your baby’s health. There are key nutrients that Viactiv’s nutritional experct, Heidi Diller, RDN, believes may require supplementation if the your diet is not optimal, including morning sickness. Women need vital nutrients including Iron, Vitamin D, Calcium, Folic Acid and Iodine. Be sure to speak with your healthcare provider before taking any sort of supplement.
