Prenatal Vitamins - 100 Caplets

This supplement is an excellent source of certain nutrients that may be needed during pregnancy and lactation.* Specially designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of prenatal and postnatal women, this daily multivitamin contains 800 mcg of folic acid. Folic acid is important for women planning to become pregnant, as a healthy diet with adequate folate may reduce the risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord.
