Iron

Prevents diseases like Anemia

Shortage of Iron will increase the risk of abnormalities in pregnancy outcomes

Vitamin A

Increases the body’s resistance to disease

Deficiency will likely cause blindness

Iodine

Deprivation is the main cause of impaired cognitive development

Lack of Iodine causes poor results in pregnancy for the mother and child
