Objective. To analyze the role of specialized vitamin and mineral supplements (VMSs) in supporting pregnancy women on the basis of published meta-analyses and clinical trials.
Material and methods. Relevant publications over the last decade were selected in the Science Citation Database PubMed and additionally in Google Scholar.
Results. There is a positive trend in giving up less digestible and, in some cases, more toxic inorganic forms of micronutrients for more highly bioavailable ones. The equally important features are the use of biologically active forms of micronutrients and the increasing intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the composition of VMSs for pregnant women.
Conclusion. The use of highly bioavailable VMSs by pregnant women allows primary prevention of fetal malformations. The presence of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in VMSs reduces the risk of visual dysfunctions and perinatal encephalopathy in the fetus.
