We know good nutrition could be challenging to come by in most LMICs 💔 For pregnant mothers, we can fill in the gap with Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS). Prenatal MMS provides 1️⃣5️⃣ vitamins and minerals critical for a #HealthyPregnancy and fills the gap between the higher nutrient requirements imposed by pregnancy and the typical low micronutrient intakes often found in LMICs. For pregnant women, MMS has been shown to improve #MaternalNutrition status in comparison to IFA, and plays an important role in reducing maternal micronutrient deficiencies (such as in vitamins A, B2 , B6 , B12, D, folate and zinc). Specific to adolescent pregnant women (<20 years of age), a recent meta-analysis of existing data pertaining to this population shows that adolescents who received MMS had a significantly reduced risk of low birth weight (LBW), preterm births, and small-for-gestational-age births (SGA).
