The diet of modern man is not sufficiently enriched with vitamins and trace elements, which are necessary for the full work of his body. And during pregnancy, the body's need for vitamins and microelements increases, which are needed not only for women, but also for the full development of the fetus. For this purpose, special multivitamins for pregnant women have been developed and recommended for use in medicine. Elevit Pronatal is one of the most frequently recommended vitamins for pregnant women.
Elevit Pronatal in the planning of pregnancy
Vitamin and mineral complex "Elevit" is indicated for women who are preparing for conception, because planning of pregnancy against hypovitaminosis can result either in non-occurrence of pregnancy, or in miscarriage at an early age, or in the formation of defects in the fetus.

The calcium that is part of Elevit will allow it to saturate the woman's body before pregnancy and prevent the appearance of possible problems during pregnancy associated with its deficiency.
