Provida OB
US Pharmaceutical Corporation
Overview
Provida OB is a prenatal multivitamin and mineral supplement designed to improve the nutritional status of women during pregnancy and lactation. It contains a range of essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin D3. While the formulation addresses key nutritional needs during pregnancy, some of the vitamins, such as Vitamin C, D3, B3, Magnesium, and Zinc are at relatively low doses and the benefits of Lactobacillus Casei Ke-99 require further research, the inclusion of dual forms of iron (Ferrous Fumarate and Polysaccharide Iron Complex) may enhance tolerability. The high does of B6 (25mg), Folic Acid (1.25mg) and Iron (40mg) are above the RDA, but within safe limits.
The Good
Provides high doses of B vitamins to support energy production
Contains iron to prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia
Offers folic acid to reduce the risk of neural tube defects
The Bad
Potential for gastrointestinal discomfort due to iron content
Risk of masking vitamin B12 deficiency with folic acid
Contraindicated in patients with certain iron-related disorders
Is it for you?
