WHO estimates that more than half of pregnant women in the World have a haemoglobin level indicative of anaemia (< 11.0gldl). Women often become anaemic during pregnancy because the demand for iron and other vitamins is increased due to physiological burden of pregnancy. The inability to meet the required level for these substances either as a result of dietary deficiencies or infection give rise to anaemia. Supplements do not replace a healthy diet but rather ensure that a woman is receiving enough daily nutrients. Vitamin supplements work best when taken as part of a healthy diet and not as a substitute for a healthy diet.Too much overdose prenatal vitamins can be toxic in a synthetic form, so it is best obtained from a healthy diet rather than supplements.Synthetic vitamins alone are not an insurance plan for healthy conception, pregnancy, birth, or baby.
