Supplementing with a prenatal multi-vitamin during pregnancy is important to help support a healthy pregnancy and the baby's development. Key nutrients such as folic acid, iron and zinc are essential to have in your prenatal supplement. Adequate folic acid may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord birth defect and iron needs are higher during pregnancy to support energy and development of a healthy baby. Nature Made prenatal multi has recommended amounts for folic acid (800 mcg), iron (27 mg) and zinc (25 mg). Nature Made prenatal multi is ideal for expecting and nursing moms who prefer a complete prenatal formulation with key vitamins and minerals necessary for the health of their pregnancy and baby's development.Nature Made
