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.

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.

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.

Improved hemoglobin
191 people found this helpful
I found these vitamins wonderful during my pregnancy and breastfeeding. I read the reviews while expecting and started taking them at seven months pregnant. My doctor approved the composition, and my hemoglobin returned to normal. The size of the tablet is manageable, and I appreciate the inclusion of iodine. Now, three months into breastfeeding, I continue to take these vitamins, and my hair is healthy and growing well. I feel energetic and less fatigued.

Normalised hemoglobin
10 people found this helpful
These vitamins have been excellent for my pregnancy and postpartum period. My haemoglobin levels normalised, which is quite rare for someone facing anemia during pregnancy. Now that I’m breastfeeding, I’m happy to report that my hair, nails, and teeth remain in good condition.

Maintained haemoglobin

I took these vitamins from planning through to the end of breastfeeding. I often struggle with low haemoglobin due to anemia, but these vitamins helped keep my levels stable throughout two pregnancies. Despite the challenges of my second pregnancy, my health remained steady, and I felt energised.

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 relief

I was previously taking a supplement with Japanese folic acid and iron, but I felt constantly fatigued and anemic. Since switching to this supplement, my anaemia has disappeared, and I no longer feel tired. I’m pleased with these vitamins and plan to continue taking them.

Positive outcome

I took these throughout my pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and they kept my hemoglobin levels normal despite my previous anaemia. They are good value, lasting for five months.
Frequently Asked Questions

Hemoglobin increase
1 people found this helpful
I achieved my goal - my hemoglobin is now normal! I initially sought vitamins to raise my hemoglobin due to chronic anemia. I was pleased with the high iron content (30 mg) and natural ingredients. After a month of taking one capsule daily, my hemoglobin rose from 102 to 120. My overall health improved, with less shortness of breath and hair loss. This product is effective and affordable, costing just 600 rubles per month rather than the 5,000 I paid previously.

Boosted hair growth
11 people found this helpful
I tried various vitamins for pregnant women, but none were effective until I switched to Prenatal One from Rainbow. Although it took 1.5-2 months to notice changes, my hair began to grow, and my hemoglobin levels improved, despite my ongoing anemia. Patience is essential, but these vitamins genuinely work.

Price-effective option
8 people found this helpful
I deliberated between giving four or five stars but ultimately chose five. After my first two trimesters on Megafood, I switched to these vitamins. They are reasonably priced and have improved my digestion. However, I did have to add iron due to my anemia, but overall, they have been beneficial.

Limited effect
These prenatal vitamins were excellent, although a bit pricey. I took them in my second trimester, and they caused no nausea or allergies. Unfortunately, they weren’t sufficient for addressing my iron deficiency, so I had to take additional medication after blood tests.

Symptoms improvement

These vitamins effectively supported my general well-being during pregnancy and breastfeeding, without causing digestive issues or allergies. However, as I have iron deficiency anemia, I found the iron amount slightly low for my needs.
