Pre-pregnancy vitamin ranking - best pre-pregnancy vitamins 2024
Trying to have a baby is a time when a woman should take special care of her health, a balanced diet and, if necessary, appropriate supplementation. Supplying the body with adequate doses of vitamins and minerals already during the planning stage of pregnancy will not only make up for any dangerous deficiencies, but will also effectively support the normal development of the foetus. If you are wondering what to supplement before pregnancy, the list of the most important ingredients is not at all long. Vitamins before pregnancy recommended by the Polish Gynaecological Society should include folic acid, iodine, vitamin D3 and iron (only in case of deficiencies). Folic acid is an extremely important component both for the child in foetal life and after birth. It ensures the normal development of the nervous, cardiovascular and haematopoietic systems and also influences the safe course of pregnancy. In pre-pregnancy vitamins, the recommended dose of folic acid for healthy women without risk of foetal abnormalities is 400 μg/day. Interestingly, vitamins for women trying to become pregnant are recommended to be taken 12 weeks before the planned pregnancy. This is necessary in order to obtain adequate folate levels in the body. In the ranking below, we have prepared a summary of the best pre-pregnancy vitamins in our opinion. Take a look at it and choose a supplement that meets all your expectations.

Inofem Duo is a dietary supplement created for women trying to get pregnant. Our testers found that the composition of the supplement contains essential fertility support substances. These include folic acid, myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol, vitamin D, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12, although the doses of the latter two, as noted by the testers, could be higher. Regular use of Inofem Duo tablets helps the ovaries to function properly, supports ovulation and maintains hormonal balance. In addition, the formulation can be helpful in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some testers, however, complained about having to suck on the tablets, and most found the price of the supplement inadequate for its performance.

Editorial Text:
The dietary supplement Prenatal Gels + DHA from Now Foods is a real wealth of ingredients. It contains a truly robust number of minerals and vitamins to support the health of women during their reproductive years. Among the most important are folic acid, lycopene, selenium, vitamins: D3, B6, B12, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), inositol and iron. However, our testers were quick to point out that the doses of vitamin D3 and selenium are quite low. The intake is intended to support fertility and proper vision and brain development, improve vitality, wellbeing and overall body condition. Testers complained about the 3 capsules of daily intake, which additionally leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. Although the packaging contains a large number of capsules, given that the Now Foods supplement lasts for 60 days, the price is high.

MamaDHA is a supplement recommended primarily for women planning pregnancy. The supplement contains, among other things, folic acid to support normal blood production; DHA to support vision and brain development; iodine to ensure proper thyroid function; and vitamin D3 to support bone and dental health and improve immunity. Our testers were not satisfied with the composition of MamaDHA, as artificial colours and magnesium oxide (a poorly absorbed form of magnesium) are present. A pack lasts for 30 days of use, which makes the price affordable. Other drawbacks were the unpleasant fishy taste and smell and the size of the capsule.
