Dr Einaudi, who you can find on his Instagram account @la.gyneco , has listed the elements to take into account to make an informed choice.
A little note for choosing your pregnancy vitamins:
1/ A clear composition without dangerous additives
2/ Key active ingredients, such as vitamin B9 in bioavailable form
3/ Do not contain iron, which must be subject to a specific blood test
4/ Essential ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, zinc and choline
5/ Do not be frightened by the number of capsules that are often necessary for an effective multivitamin.
Why take pregnancy vitamins?
