Overview

This multivitamin/multimineral supplement is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of pregnant and nursing women. It includes a range of essential vitamins and minerals, with a focus on folate, iron, and vitamin D. The inclusion of Quatrefolic(R) aims to provide a more bioavailable form of folate, which is particularly important for individuals with MTHFR polymorphisms. While most ingredients are at appropriate values, there are a few such as Vitamin B6 and Iron to be cautious of.
