SUMMARY:
A new research study has determined a link between administration of multivitamins to pregnant women and decreased rates of ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder).

Autistic Spectrum Disorder is as the name implies, a wide spectrum of conditions which effect social interaction, interests, behavior and communication in individuals. Previous studies have determined that it most likely develops during gestation and could be influenced by the mother’s dietary choices throughout her pregnancy along with her general state of health and lifestyle.

Multivitamins could prevent the likelihood of your child developing Autism.

Bearing this in mind, an international group of researchers sought to shed light on the potential link between Autism prevention and nutrient supplementation by way of multivitamin. Applying three distinct analysis methods to a group of nearly 300,000 mother and child pairs from Sweden, the study asked mothers to report whether or not they used folic acid, multivitamins and/or iron supplements during their pregnancies. National register entries helped to identify cases of children living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. 

Although folic acid and iron supplementation did not seem to contribute either way to the likelihood of developing Autism, the multivitamin supplements seemed to offer a considerable reduction in risk factor.  

More studies are still necessary, however, based on these initial findings together with the well-supported benefits of multivitamins for expectant mothers, it would stand to reason that multivitamins should play an important daily role in managing your prenatal health, along with that of your baby’s. There are a variety available ranging from pills, tablets and capsules to fruit-flavored gummies, so you should have no trouble finding a product that suits your tastes.
