Provides care for those trying to conceive and during pregnancy Prenatal Denk contains 800 micrograms of folic acid, all B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and iodine. Folic acid (vitamin B9) plays an important role in cell division and blood formation, as well as in the growth of maternal tissue (e.g., the placenta) during pregnancy. Pregnant women often fail to obtain the recommended amount of folic acid through their diet. A folic acid deficiency during pregnancy can increase the risk of neural tube defects, also known as spina bifida, in the fetus. Therefore, early folic acid supplementation is recommended, starting as soon as family planning begins. Prenatal Denk quickly builds up folate levels, thereby promoting healthy development of the baby.
