It is logical to assume that any means for pregnant women is better than for the average person. And it would seem, a vitamin complex for pregnant women will have a better composition with a high concentration of vitamins. This opinion is guided by a lot of people before buying a multivitamin.
But in fact, in the prenatal preparation contains a high concentration of vitamins is not all. For example, folic acid (vitamin B9), magnesium and iodine. Their content in multivitamins for pregnant women is less than usual. They are not the most essential elements for the development of the fetus. The concentration of the other trace elements and vitamins, a little more than ordinary multivitamins.
And now the most important point: in the prenatal vitamin complexes A is replaced by the pro-vitamin A. The fact that an excess of vitamin A has a detrimental effect on fetal development: the excess retinol in the body has a toxic effect and causes congenital malformation of the fetus, the child may be born with a serious violation of sexual and nervous system, heart and limbs.
Therefore, vitamin A vitamin complexes for pregnant excluded. He was replaced by beta-carotene, which is synthesized from the necessary dose of vitamin A for pregnant women. For ordinary people, this pro-vitamin A, frankly, about anything, many of a very bad himself synthesized vitamin A. So if people replace conventional multivitamin at a multivitamin for pregnant women, the serious deficiency of vitamin A (if, of course, it will not be his fill of food) can be formed.
Summing up the results. Vitamins for pregnant women are no better than usual. They are just a different concentration of vitamins and minerals. And this concentration from prenatal complexes has no meaning and benefits for non-pregnant women and men.
