Supplies essential vitamins and minerals necessary for maternal and fetal health. Supports enzymatic reactions, DNA synthesis, blood formation, immunity, bone development, and antioxidant protection.

• Absorption:
Most water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, Vitamin C) and minerals (like iron, magnesium, and zinc) are absorbed primarily in the small intestine. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, Beta Carotene) are absorbed along with dietary fats through lymphatic circulation. Absorption improves when taken with meals.

• Distribution:
After absorption, water-soluble vitamins are distributed via plasma to body tissues and are stored in limited quantities. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in body fat and the liver. Minerals like iron bind to transport proteins (e.g., transferrin for iron) for systemic distribution.

• Metabolism:
Water-soluble vitamins are metabolized minimally, with excess amounts excreted in urine. Fat-soluble vitamins undergo hepatic metabolism. Minerals have varied metabolism pathways — for example, iron is incorporated into hemoglobin and stored as ferritin.

• Excretion:
Water-soluble vitamins and excess minerals are primarily excreted via urine. Fat-soluble vitamins are eliminated slowly, mostly via bile in feces. Iron is conserved in the body, with minimal daily loss through the shedding of intestinal mucosal cells.
