Prenatal supplements compared for pregnant women
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares three types of prenatal supplements to see which works best for pregnant women. Researchers want to find out if taking a special mix of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) with or without iron helps pregnant women more than regular iron and folic acid alone. If you are early in pregnancy and generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
