Balchem says new research into the benefits of iron supplements during and beyond pregnancy is opening growth avenues for women’s health brands. These findings, published by independent medical researcher Cochrane, show how prenatal iron supplementation reduces maternal anemia and its positive effects on infant birth weight. “This meta-analysis underscores the critical role of iron for women’s health, highlighting the need for iron supplements that are effective, safe and tolerable for pregnant women,” comments Eric Ciappio, PhD, RD, senior manager of Nutrition Science at Balchem.
