Effectiveness of Materna in pregnancy
[The Materna preparation as an agent for iron prophylaxis and treatment in pregnancy disorders].
Important for maternal health
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
Preventing low birthweight through maternal multiple micronutrient supplementation: a cluster-randomized, controlled trial in Indramayu, West Java.
Relevant findings on prenatal care
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
Iron-Deficiency Prevalence and Supplementation Practices Among Pregnant Women: A Secondary Data Analysis From a Clinical Trial in Vancouver, Canada.
Moderate importance for health outcomes
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.

Solved anemia problem
Works for me! When my iron was testing too low, my nurse investigated and found that my other chewable vitamins were lacking in iron. This one contains the 27 mg a day I need. It has resolved my anemia, plus I don’t have to take two large pills, just one a day—total win!

Prevented anemia
I took these vitamins for three months, and all my tests were normal. There was no sign of anemia, which I attribute to these vitamins, as during previous pregnancies my hemoglobin levels were typically low, requiring iron supplements.

Postpartum effectiveness
The complex is effective, as I self-tested after giving birth. I left the hospital with anemia, but after taking this, my iron and hemoglobin levels returned to normal. I experienced no side effects from the iron or noticeable changes in urine colour or odour from Vitamin B. I highly recommend it.

Haptoglobin variations influence anemia risk
Polymorphisms of haptoglobin modify the relationship between dietary iron and the risk of gestational iron-deficiency anemia.
Moderate relevance for iron research
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.

Consistent usage benefits
I continuously take this supplement from before pregnancy until after delivering my third and fourth children. It has ensured I never experienced anemia during pregnancy. The single-tablet dosage is convenient, and the smaller grain size made it easy to take, even with severe morning sickness.

Improved health
The quality is excellent, the composition is good, and the dosage is just right. After completing the treatment course, my condition definitely improved. The taste is unremarkable, and the size is convenient to swallow. The packaging arrived intact. I highly recommend this product; I appreciate this brand for their affordable vitamins with a solid formulation. They help replenish necessary vitamins and minerals during pregnancy and reduce the risk of hypovitaminosis during postpartum and lactation. Most importantly, they help mitigate the risk of iron deficiency anaemia in both mothers and their babies.
