Description
Women who are pregnant need essential nutrients to support both their own health and the healthy growth and development of their fetus. Multivitamins and minerals supplementation can be an effective way to ensure that pregnant women are receiving all of the necessary nutrients.
In particular, FitPregnancy contains prenatal vitamins with higher levels of folic acid (600µg), iron (27mg), and calcium, as well as other important vitamins and minerals like vitamin D. These nutrients are crucial for supporting fetal brain and spinal cord development, preventing birth defects, and regulating blood pressure.
