 Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair, reducing the risk of neural tube defects during early fetal development. It also supports cellular health and reproduction. The recommended daily dosage is 400 to 800 micrograms (mcg).

Iron is vital for mums-to-be, as it supports increased blood volume, preventing anemia and ensuring sufficient oxygen supply to both mother and baby, which is crucial for a healthy pregnancy. It also strengthens the immune system. The recommended dosage is 18mg daily.

Vitamin D is essential for mums-to-be as it aids in calcium absorption, crucial for bone health, and supports immune function. It enhances fetal development, particularly bones and teeth, and helps prevent mood disorders such as depression, improving mood and energy levels. The suggested dosage varies, so consulting a doctor is recommended.
