A member asked:
During pregnancy, what nutrients show a dramatic increase in absorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physiology: In general your body does not change the physiologic absorption of nutrients. The fetus will "steal" some of the mothers nutrients which causes some moms to need more iron and calcium for example.
