Ngabe Amavithamini Okukhulelwa Ayaphelelwa Isikhathi: Usengawathatha Na?

Abesifazane bathatha amavithamini okukhulelwa uma bekhulelwe noma behlela ukukhulelwa. Lezi zithasiselo zisiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi bobabili umama nengane bathola imisoco edingekayo ukuthuthukiswa okunempilo [1]. Nokho, umbuzo ovame ukubuzwa abesifazane abaningi abathatha amavithamini okukhulelwa uthi: Ingabe amavithamini okukhulelwa aphelelwa yisikhathi? Futhi uma kunjalo, kwenzekani uma uwathatha esewaphelelwe yisikhathi?

Kulesi sihloko, sizohlola ukubaluleka kwamavithamini okukhulelwa ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa futhi siphendule nemibuzo ephathelene nokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwala mavithamini.

Kuyini amavithamini okukhulelwa?

Amavithamini okukhulelwa aklanyelwe ngokukhethekile njengemithi yokudla eyengeziwe ukusekela ukukhulelwa okunempilo. Iningi lezithasiselo zokukhulelwa liqukethe imisoco ebalulekile efana ne-folic acid, insimbi, i-calcium, ne-DHA [2]. Le mikhiqizo yokudla okunomsoco isekela impilo kamama nengane ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Isibonelo, izifundo zibonisa ukuthi i-folic acid ibalulekile ekukhulelweni ngoba isiza ukuvimbela ukukhubazeka ekuzalweni ebuchosheni nasemgogodleni wengane [3]. Umzimba kamama uqala ukukhiqiza igazi eliningi kunokuvamile ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, okudinga ukuthi abe nenani elifanele lensimbi [4]. Insimbi ekuthathwa amavithamini okukhulelwa isekela ukukhula kwengane futhi isiza ukuvimbela i-anemia kumama. Lamavithamini ayindlela elula yokuqinisekisa ukuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe bathola ukudla okunomsoco abakudingayo, ngisho noma ukudla kwabo kungaphelele. Kwabesifazane abacabanga ukukhulelwa beneminyaka engu-30, amavithamini okukhulelwa angaba yisinyathelo esiwusizo ekulungiseleleni umzimba ukukhulelwa okunempilo.

Ingabe amavithamini okukhulelwa angaphelelwa yisikhathi?

Yebo, njengazo zonke izithasiselo, amavithamini okukhulelwa anosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi. Ungalithola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi oluphrintiwe ebhodleleni noma ephaketheni. Lolu suku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi lukutshela ukuthi kuze kube nini umkhiqizi eqinisekisa amandla agcwele amavithamini.

Ngemva kwalo suku, amavithamini angase aqale ukulahlekelwa ukusebenza kwawo kahle. Izici ezifana nokushisa, ukukhanya, namanzi angawenza aphelelwe yisikhathi mshesha. Ukuwagcina endaweni ebandayo, eyomile kungasiza ukuwugcina emasha isikhathi eside.

Kwenzekani Lapho Amavithamini Okubeletha Ephelelwa Isikhathi?

Amavithamini okubeletha aphelelwa isikhathi ngoba amanyutriyenti angaphuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi amandla noma ukusebenza kwamanyutriyenti kwehla. Isibonelo, izithasiselo ze-folic acid eziphelelwe yisikhathi zingase zingabi namandla kangako ekuvimbeleni ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa, kanti izithasiselo zensimbi eziphelelwe yisikhathi zingase zingakunikezi amabhenefithi afanayo.

Kwezinye izimo, amavithamini aphelelwe isikhathi angase aqale futhi abe nephunga elibi noma ukunambitheka okubi, okungenza kube nzima ukuwathatha. Ngamazwi alula, amavithamini okubeletha aphelelwe isikhathi ngokuvamile awavami ukuba yingozi, kodwa mancane amathuba okuthi akunikeze amabhenefithi owadingayo ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Indlela Yokulahla yamavithamini okubeletha aphelelwe isikhathi?

Uma uthola ibhodlela elidala lamavithamini okubeletha, into yokuqala okufanele uyenze ukulihlola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi oluphrintiwe ebhodleleni. Uma esephelelwe yisikhathi, kuhle ukuzigwema. Esikhundleni salokho, landela imihlahlandlela ye-FDA enconyiwe yokuwalahla ngendlela efanele [5].

Amanye amapharamasi anamaphrogramu okuqoqa emuva imithi endala nezithasiselo. Shintsha amavithamini aphelelwe yisikhathi ngebhodlela elisha ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi uthola amabhenefithi avela kumanyutriyenti owadlayo.

Ingabe Ukuthatha Amavithamini Okubeletha Aphelelwe Isikhathi Kungaba Yingozi?

Ezimweni eziningi, ukuthatha amavithamini okubeletha aphelelwe yisikhathi akuyona ingozi. Ngemva kosuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi, la maphilisi ngokuvamile ancipha ukusebenza kwawo ngokuthile, kodwa awaguquki abe yingozi noma abe yinto enobuthi.

Kungase kungenzeki ukuthi ikunikeze wonke amabhenefithi adingekayo ekukhulelweni okunempilo. Lokhu kungabeka kokubili umama nengane engozini yokushoda ngamanyutriyenti. Ukuze kube nokuphepha, kuhlale kungcono ukusebenzisa amavithamini okubeletha ngaphambi kokuba aphelelwe yisikhathi. Uma wehluleka ukuthola usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwanoma yimaphi amavithamini okubeletha, kumele uxhumane nabakhiqizi esengezo noma uthintane nodokotela wakho ukuze wenze isinqumo esinolwazi.

Isiphetho

Amavithamini okubeletha ayingxenye ebalulekile yokukhulelwa okunempilo. Abesifazane abaningi bafaka amavithamini okubeletha ezimpilweni zabo lapho behlela ukukhulelwa noma sebekhulelwe. Ukuqonda incazelo yokukhulelwa ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kungasiza abesifazane balungiselele kangcono lolu hambo olubalulekile.

Umbuzo ojwayelekile wabantu abaphuza amavithamini okubeletha uthi, ingabe amavithamini okubeletha ayaphelelwa isikhathi? Impendulo ithi yebo; njenganazo zonke izithasiselo, ayaphelelwa. Amavithamini aphelelwe isikhathi avamise kuphela ukulahlekelwa amandla awo, futhi awaguquki abe yingozi noma alimaze.

Nokho, kuwumqondo omuhle ukugwema ukuthatha izithasiselo eziphelelwe isikhathi bese uzishintsha ngaleyo ezisanda kwenziwa. Ukwenza kanjalo kungaqinisekisa ukuthi wena nengane yakho nithola imisoco edingekayo yokukhulelwa okunempilo.

Imibuzo Ejwayele Ukubuzwa

1. Kwenzekani uma ngiphuza amavithamini okubeletha aphelelwe isikhathi ngephutha?

Ezimweni eziningi, ukuthatha amavithamini okubeletha aphelelwe isikhathi akubangeli monakalo. Nokho, amavithamini angeke asebenze kahle njengalawo asha. Uma amavithamini akho okubeletha esephelelwe isikhathi, shintshela ebhodleleni elisha ngokushesha okukhulu.

2. Ngingaluthola kuphi usuku lokuphelelwa isikhathi kumavithamini okubeletha?

Usuku lokuphelelwa isikhathi luvamise ukuphrintwa ebhodleleni noma ebhokisini. Bheka ilebula enefomethi ethi “EXP” elandelwe usuku, njengokuthi "EXP 12/2024."

3. Ungawagcina kanjani amavithamini okubeletha esesanda kwenziwa?

Gcina amavithamini akho okubeletha endaweni ebandayo, eyomile, ekude nelanga eliqondile nokufuma. Gwema ukuwafaka ezindaweni ezifana nekhishi noma indlu yokugezela, lapho umswakama ongakhuphula khona indlela agcina ngayo.
