SUPPORTComparison of Perelel Trimester-Specific Supplements to Generic Prenatal Vitamins for Maternal and Fetal Health

This clinical trial explores whether using Perelel-brand prenatal supplements can lead to better health outcomes for both mothers and their unborn babies compared to generic prenatal supplements. The study focuses on pregnant women, examining how these specific vitamins and minerals might influence important nutritional markers found in blood samples. This research is significant as it could reveal if tailored supplements provide better nutrition during pregnancy, potentially improving maternal and fetal health. Participants in the study will be taking either Perelel or generic prenatal supplements every day throughout their pregnancy. They will visit UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital once during each trimester for blood tests and to answer questions about their health and nutrition. The study will measure changes in nutritional markers from these blood samples to determine the effectiveness of the supplements. Additionally, an observational part of the study will compare blood samples from women experiencing food insecurity to those who are not, providing insights into nutritional differences based on access to food.
