What is Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS)?

Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) is an advanced prenatal supplement containing 15 essential vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy pregnancy. It provides a more comprehensive nutritional profile compared to traditional iron and folic acid (IFA) supplements, helping both mother and baby thrive. 

The Importance of Prenatal Nutrition 

The first 1,000 days—from conception to a child’s second birthday—are crucial for growth and development. Proper nutrition during pregnancy: 
✔ Supports fetal brain, spine, and organ formation 
✔ Reduces the risk of birth defects and complications 
✔ Helps prevent anemia and malnutrition in mothers
