Key Nutrients for You and Your Baby

Each Materna tablet provides 23 essential nutrients, including folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin D, and iodine. Folic acid contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function and growth. The comprehensive blend also includes B vitamins for energy metabolism, plus vitamin C and zinc to maintain a healthy immune system.

When and How to Take Your Prenatal Vitamin

For best results, begin taking Materna at least one month before you plan to conceive, and continue throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The recommended dose is one tablet daily with food and a full glass of water. Taking it with a meal, especially one containing fat, enhances absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Establish a daily routine to ensure consistency.
