Nutritional Advice for Thal Minors
Lokkhi maa:
What to take for increase HB level.When I was pregnant then doctor advise for increase Hb level as tablet JPERON.But when found I am thal minor then the prescribed doctor changed the medicine and advise only for taking Folic acid.He said other elements of JPERON will be harmful for me.
May I take regular folic acid?Will it be helpful for increase HB?
Andy Battaglia:
Yes, folic acid must be taken when pregnant or when trying to get pregnant. It prevents birth defects and should be taken by all women who could have children. All thals can also benefit from folate because it helps to buiild red blood cells and platelets. The best form is L-methylfolate.
Some women do also need iron while pregnant, but if a good balanced diet is eaten, that includes iron rich foods, supplements for iron shouldn't be needed.

Dear Andy,
I really want to say thank you so much for your useful information.
I have a kid 7yrs old. Daily, he only takes acid folic, vit e ( 400 iu ). Sometimes, he takes Kindervital as your advice. In this post, you mention B complex. But there are many kinds, i don't know what kind is suitable for him, liquid or tablet. Pls kindly help me.

Thank you so much.

htuongvy,
The second one would be better for a child. It's sublingual, which means the child should swish the liquid around under the tongue for a minute before swallowing it.
