Overview
Ferro-Care® Pregnancy is formulated to provide vitamins and minerals to help maintain general well-being throughout pregnancy.
Ferro-Care® Pregnancy contains iodine, an essential nutrient for brain and intellectual development. Maternal intake of iodine is crucial for normal growth and development during fetal, neonatal, and infancy stages.
Ferro-Care® Pregnancy also provides a 500 microgram daily dose of folate. If taken daily for one month prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy, folic acid may reduce the risk of neural tube defects associated with the brain and spinal cord (e.g. neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly).
