Many women who eat well and are aware of their body’s nutrient needs find little or no need to use dietary supplements during pregnancy. However, sometimes pregnancy its self can take a toll on a woman’s body and nutritive supplementation can be advised.
I recommend a whole food-based prenatal vitamin of your choice, and would be happy to discuss the various options that are available. Here are some examples of high quality supplements and how and when to use them.
