There are a lot of choices when it comes to selecting the right prenatal vitamin. How do you know which ones are high-quality? What should you look for on the ingredient label? What ingredients should you avoid? All of these questions, and more, are answered in this episode.   This episode features Kenn Israel, who is a formulator and an expert resource on prenatal vitamins.
