Relevance: Pregnancy is a complex and multifaceted biological process associated with the beginning of the formation of a new organism. This period includes many physiological, hormonal, and metabolic changes that contribute to the maintenance and development of the fetus before birth. Pregnancy planning is a critical stage that requires a comprehensive approach to body preparation, including attention to diet and the intake of essential micronutrients. These vitamins and minerals are necessary for the body’s normal functioning and preparation for pregnancy and are critical to creating optimal conditions for gestation.
The study aimed to analyze data on the role of micronutrients in women’s pre-pregnancy preparation and their potential effectiveness in preventing pregnancy complications, underscoring the practical benefits of our research.
Materials and methods: The study used international reviews of the last 10 years, from 2015 to 2024, from PubMed, MedLine, and Cochrane databases, including case studies and registration data related to preventing major pregnancy complications.
Results: The article examines data on the effects of various vitamins and minerals on fertility and general health and their potential effectiveness in preventing pregnancy complications.
Conclusion: This review’s results can serve as a basis for developing more precise recommendations on successfully preparing for motherhood.
