SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Ibu hamil memerlukan asupan vitamin B12 yang sedikit lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat umum. Kadar vitamin ini yang rendah pada ibu hamil dapat meningkatkan risiko cacat lahir, kelahiran prematur, dan berat badan lahir rendah pada bayi.
Dilansir dari Healthline, vitamin B12 adalah bagian dari vitamin B kompleks yang penting untuk kesehatan sistem saraf dan pembentukan DNA. Kebutuhan harian vitamin B12 selama kehamilan direkomendasikan sebesar 2,6 mikrogram.
Kekurangan vitamin ini dapat menyebabkan berbagai masalah kesehatan, seperti kecacatan tabung saraf pada janin, anemia, serta kelahiran prematur dan berat badan lahir rendah. Oleh karena itu, ibu hamil disarankan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan vitamin B12 baik melalui diet atau suplemen sesuai anjuran dokter.
Selain itu, sumber utama vitamin B12 adalah makanan yang mengandung protein hewani, seperti hati ayam, daging merah, ikan berlemak, serta produk susu. Namun jika asupan makanan ini sudah mencukupi, risiko kekurangan vitamin B12 bisa dihindari.
Ibu hamil perlu memperhatikan asupan vitamin B12 untuk memastikan kesehatan janin dan mengurangi risiko cacat lahir. Dengan memahami manfaat dan sumber vitamin ini, ibu hamil dapat membuat pilihan makanan yang lebih bijak selama kehamilan.
