Folic Acid
It is well known that the consumption of 600 micrograms of folic acid may actually reduce the incidence of neural tube defects (spina bifida) in newborn infants.

Iron
Women have a high iron requirement during pregnancy because it is used to form hemoglobin in red blood cells and fetal growth.

Zinc
Adequate levels of Zinc during pregnancy may help women resist infectious diseases and support fetal growth. This mineral is essential for more than 100 enzymes involved in digestion, metabolism, reproduction, and wound healing.

Calcium
During pregnancy, if the calcium intake is low, the mother’s bones are used as a source of calcium to meet the fetal needs. Therefore it is critical to consume sufficient amounts of calcium during pregnancy. Calcium assists in blood clotting, muscle contraction and nerve transmission.

Vitamin C
Promotes healthy cell development, wound healing, improves resistance to infections. It is also known to improve collagen formation. Women who smoke need more vitamin C.
