Abstract

Current nutritional support of a gestation period is one of the most important obstetric problems since adequate provision with essential nutrients during pregnancy can prevent fetal malformations and guarantee a healthy baby. To prevent and treat folate deficiency-associated abnormalities during pregnancy, it is advisable to use vitamin/ mineral complexes containing metafolin, an active form of folates with high bioavailability.
