Prenatal Multivitamin
Nutricost
Overview
This prenatal multivitamin provides a comprehensive blend of essential vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy pregnancy. The inclusion of folate as Quatrefolic and a high dose of vitamin D3 adds to its efficacy. However, some nutrient dosages, notably vitamin D, B vitamins, and biotin, significantly exceed the recommended daily allowance for pregnant women, and the calcium content is quite low. As most nutrients are already adequately obtained through diet, supplementation may only be needed in rare instances of deficiency.

The Bad
