PreferaOB is a prescription multivitamin / multimineral nutritional supplement indicated for use in improving the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy and in the postnatal period for both lactating and non-lactating mothers. PreferaOB™ is also beneficial in improving the nutritional status of women prior to conception.
PreferaOB is rich in iron and smaller than most prenatal vitamins, making it easy-to-swallow. Plus, PreferaOB includes vitamin B6 which may reduce likelihood of pregnancy morning sickness2 and comes complete with 1 mg folic acid.
Ask your doctor if PreferaOB is right for you.
