Femibion
The complex is available in two forms: separately for the 1st trimester and for admission from the 13th week of pregnancy. Depending on the trimester, the composition is slightly different.

Mom's Health Alphabet
Contains 25 nutrients, which are divided into three tablets for better absorption. You need to take these pills at intervals of 3-6 hours, and there is no established sequence.

Centrum Materna
According to pharmacists, Centrum Materna is one of the most balanced multivitamin complexes today. It contains, in addition to vitamins B, C and E, beta-carotene, selenium and zinc. Like most multicomponent drugs, Materna can cause an allergic reaction. However, in most cases, the drug is well absorbed.
