Increasing Demand for Prenatal Vitamin Supplements
Vitamins are one of the crucial nutrients for women, especially vitamin B12, vitamin B9, and vitamin D, which are particularly important to support the development of the baby's nervous system (B12) and skeleton (D) since proper nutrition and diet are essential in pregnancy to help them deliver healthy babies. This factor boosts the folic acid market due to the major usage of folic acid in prenatal supplements. Almost all obstetricians in the United States recommend prenatal vitamins to pregnant women to support healthy growth and minimize birth defects. A study by the UC Davis MIND Institute claimed that women who reported not taking daily prenatal immediately before and during the first month of pregnancy were likely to have a child with an autism spectrum disorder, twice the rate of women who consumed the supplements.
