Gregory Chandler, Attorney at Law, on Prenatal Supplements

By Gregory Chandler
Researchers in a study wanted to determine if prenatal supplements in mothers could improve the mental and physical health of children. Researchers followed for two years 676 Nepalese children, aged 7 to 9, whose mothers had taken vitamin A with iron and folic acid, or a placebo of vitamin A, before and during pregnancy. Compared to children whose mothers took only vitamin A, children whose mothers had taken iron and folic acid had greater intellectual ability and better control of fine muscle movements.
