Effectiveness of Materna in pregnancy
We aimed to investigate how Materna, a multivitamin formula containing 21 essential vitamins and minerals, impacts anemia in pregnant women. In this study, 46 patients were divided into three groups based on when they began taking these supplements during their pregnancies.

By measuring hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum iron levels before, during, and after the supplementation, we noted improvements in patients' subjective feelings and effective iron prophylaxis. However, consistent and prolonged use of Materna is crucial for achieving the best results across all pregnancies.

Multivitamins effective for maternal health
We conducted a cluster-randomized, controlled trial in Indramayu, Indonesia, with 843 pregnant women to assess the impact of prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation versus iron-folic acid.

While there were no significant differences in anemia rates between the two groups, both multivitamins and iron-folic acid were effective in managing anemia for expectant mothers.

Additionally, women taking multiple micronutrients had lower rates of fetal loss and a slight increase in average birthweight, suggesting potential advantages beyond just anemia treatment.

Iron supplementation needs during pregnancy
We explored how effective prenatal multivitamins are at preventing anemia in pregnant women. In a clinical trial of 60 participants in Vancouver, we measured iron status during early and late pregnancy.

Although the women received the recommended daily allowance of 27 mg of iron, many still faced iron deficiency, indicating that this level of supplementation may not be enough as pregnancy progresses.

Consequently, it seems that pregnant individuals might need more than the standard prenatal vitamins to ensure adequate iron levels during late pregnancy.

I took these vitamins in the second half of my pregnancy and maintained good health, mood, and strength. I had no problems with my gastrointestinal tract, regular stool, and normal blood tests. I experienced no anemia during or after pregnancy, and my baby was born healthy.

No anemia
This product was excellent; it kept my hair healthy, and I experienced neither anemia nor low vitamin D during pregnancy. I plan to continue using it after delivery.

Haptoglobin variations influence anemia risk
We examined the connection between haptoglobin (Hp) gene variations and the risk of gestational iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in pregnant women. Analyzing data from over 1,400 women, we found that those with the Hp 1-1 phenotype faced a notably higher risk of IDA, especially when their dietary iron intake fell short or if they didn’t use prenatal multivitamins.

Specifically, women not following recommended iron intake guidelines were four times more likely to develop IDA. This study highlights the importance of prenatal supplementation and proper dietary iron consumption for healthy pregnancies.

Anemia improved
My morning sickness has improved, and I only take one tablet daily. I appreciate that it includes folate from organic sources. My anaemia has also improved significantly, and I've found it easier to manage my supplements because of the once-daily dose.
