Not surprisingly, research shows that none of the most widely available over-the-counter prenatal supplements whether they are tablets, capsules, soft gels or gummies provide adequate levels of five key nutrients: folic acid, iron, vitamin D, calcium and docosahexaenoic acid.
Folic acid, iron, vitamin D, calcium, and docosahexaenoic acid are vital nutrients during pregnancy, recommended by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists for better health outcomes for pregnant patients and their babies.
Folate is critical in preventing birth defects, reducing their rates by 50%; however, it only effectively does so when taken before the 28th day of pregnancy.
