    Prenatal supplements, also known as prenatal vitamins, are frequently used by women before conception and throughout gestation. Their purpose is to guarantee that both the expectant mother and the developing fetus obtain the necessary quantity of vital nutrients. They usually contain folic acid, iron, and other micronutrients, but the composition varies from brand to brand.

    Overview

    Dosage information

    The dosage of prenatal supplements can vary by brand, so it’s advisable to refer to the instructions provided on the manufacturer’s website or supplement package.

    During pregnancy, it’s important to avoid exceeding the recommended dosage. Consuming certain vitamins and minerals in excess amounts may pose risks to the fetus.[1][2]
