What are prenatal supplements?

Prenatal supplements are specially formulated multivitamins designed to support health during pregnancy. They contain vitamins and minerals that are important during pregnancy, including folic acid, iodine, iron, calcium, DHA and vitamins D, B12, and B6, among others. 

These nutrients may help support nutritional needs during pregnancy and healthy foetal growth. While it’s best to obtain your dietary requirements through eating a balanced daily diet, prenatal supplements may provide extra support as the demand for specific nutrients increases during pregnancy to support fetal growth and changes in the body. Requirements will vary depending on your unique needs, health status and other factors so it’s best to discuss with your healthcare professional.

Can prenatal supplements help you conceive?

Prenatal supplements are primarily designed to support a healthy pregnancy and fetal development. Some preconception supplements may be specifically formulated to support conception efforts. Folic acid is particularly important prior to and during pregnancy. If you’re facing challenges with conception, it’s advisable to consult your healthcare professional for tailored advice.

Is it necessary to take prenatal supplements? 

It is generally recommended to take prenatal supplements before and during pregnancy to support normal fetal development and prevent nutritional deficiencies. 

Is it safe to take prenatal supplements if you are not pregnant?

Prenatal supplements are formulated to provide nutrients that support a healthy pregnancy. Taking prenatal vitamins before conception may help ensure adequate levels of essential nutrients like folic acid, which the body needs to have sufficient amounts of before pregnancy. 

However, because prenatal vitamins are tailored specifically for pregnancy, they contain higher doses of certain nutrients compared to regular multivitamins, such as iron and folic acid, which might not be necessary outside of pregnancy. Your healthcare professional can advise you on whether it’s safe to take prenatal supplements if you are not pregnant.
