Overview
This is a comprehensive multivitamin designed for pregnant and lactating women, providing a good baseline of essential vitamins and minerals. It contains important nutrients for fetal development and maternal health, with most doses aligned to or exceeding recommended daily values. However, some minerals, specifically calcium, magnesium, and copper are not present at optimal doses when compared to independent supplementation recommendations, and the 'Nurturing Food & Herb Blend' is not specific enough to identify additional benefits aside from the known benefits of the individual components.
The Good

Contains nutrients known to support healthy pregnancy outcomes
Includes Vitamin D3 at a good dose, supporting a number of important bodily functions
The Bad
Potential for iron overdose in children

Folic acid is not the preferred form of folate for all individuals
Is it for you?
