Hum Nutrition is debuting a brand-new supplement that has been formulated to help expecting mothers meet the nutrition needs of every stage of the pregnancy journey.

Featuring a two-step formula that includes a prenatal multivitamin capsule and vegan DHA softgel that does not have a fishy aftertaste, the supplements provide 23 nutrients such as choline and folate at OB-GYN recommended levels.
“Two of the most important supplements to look for in your prenatal vitamins are folic acid and iron,” said Manuela Vasquez, a board-certified OB-GYN and founder of LaMaria feminine wellness. “Folic acid helps to prevent birth defects associated with the neural tube. The physiological changes that occur in pregnancy can make pregnant women more prone to anemia, therefore having iron in your prenatal vitamin can help maintain the appropriate blood levels.”
