Study Reveals Prenatal Vitamins May Pose Autism and Toxicity Risks

Researchers tested 47 prenatal vitamins and discovered discrepancies between label claims and actual contents, highlighting the need for stronger regulatory oversight. Despite these concerns, prenatal vitamins remain important, and women are advised to consult healthcare professionals to choose safe options.
