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.

Relieved symptoms

I passed on this supplement to others, especially pregnant women. With sickle cell anaemia, my blood levels rose significantly during my last pregnancy. After taking the pills, I felt improved energy, and my leg cramps disappeared. I take three pills at a time, and it’s crucial to time them correctly for better absorption. The large container lasts long, and I intend to continue taking them while breastfeeding.

Good vitamins! I dealt with anaemia during my pregnancy and found that these vitamins made a noticeable difference in my energy levels. My doctor advised me to take only 1 capsule, but I preferred 2 and added calcium and iron. I haven't had tests yet, but I feel much better now.

These are superb vitamins! Throughout my pregnancy, I had no toxicosis or anaemia, and I’ve continued taking them post-birth. The benefits were evident; my skin improved and my hair became shinier. I highly recommend them to everyone!

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.

No anaemia experienced

I took these vitamins from two months before to two months after my pregnancy. I increased my dosage from three to two tablets per day. I didn’t experience any anaemia and had a smooth pregnancy. The ingredients are impressive, and I'm keen to continue taking them!

The best vitamins for pregnant women! My test results were normal throughout and I didn’t experience vitamin deficiencies, which I’d attribute to these vitamins. I took two tablets daily, and my mild anaemia vanished during pregnancy. I’m impressed with their quality and results.

Resolved fatigue
1 people found this helpful
I have two healthy daughters, and I took these vitamins throughout my pregnancy and while breastfeeding. My doctor confirmed their high absorption rate. I’ve never suffered from anaemia, and after stopping for two months, I noticed fatigue and other issues returned. Once I resumed taking them, my condition improved rapidly.

Improved haemoglobin
3 people found this helpful
I’ve ordered this supplement four times, starting from my third month of pregnancy. It’s been fantastic for my hair, skin, and overall well-being. My haemoglobin increased from 110 to 120, despite having a history of anaemia. I plan to keep taking it after childbirth for recovery.

No effect observed
I’ve been taking these for two months, but I’m unclear on their efficacy. Combining iron and zinc seems questionable; my anaemia persists and nails are flaky. I've decided to take vitamins separately for better results.

As a mother of three, I want to share that my body needed extra nutrients. After taking these vitamins, my hair loss stopped, my emotional state stabilised, and I regained energy. Despite the initial annoyance of taking three a day, I recommend them! They helped with my anemia too.

No more anemia

These vitamins worked wonders! I swapped them for those prescribed by my gynecologist, and my toxicosis disappeared. They didn’t upset my stomach and improved my strength, plus I had no heartburn. I also took iron and my blood tests returned excellent results, with no more issues with anemia!
