A pregger co-worker told me that she is taking Materna vitamins. I was looking for a prenatal vitamins and I have no idea what to get. I am currently taking Vitamin E and this is for my skin. As they say, we have to take care our skin as gravitational pull ( aka wrinkles) comes with age. I found out Materna is by Centrum and it prevents Neural tube defects. Honestly I never heard of this birth defect so i consulted google and found out it occurs when tissues of the brain and spinal cord fail to develop properly. damn scary eh.
So here's what Materna got for me:

| Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) | 2.6 mcg |
| Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) | 400 IU |
| Biotin | 30 mcg |
| Pantothenic Acid (calcium pantothenate) | 6 mg |
