Throughout different stages of your life, you require many different kinds of vitamin and minerals to support your body’s changing needs. Also as your child grows, you need to make sure that he is getting the right nutrients to support his proper growth and development.
Eating healthy foods in pregnancy will help the baby to grow and will also keep you well. However, sometimes diet alone may not be enough. Mums may need extra help to get the essential nutrients to support their and their children’s growth.
