Contemporary medical science gives importance to diet in terms of supplementation of essential macro and micro nutrients. In pregnant women’s diet the emphasize is given mainly in supplementation of iron, calcium, folic acid, DHA, iodine, and vitamin D.

The World Health Organization guides use of multiple micronutrient powders for point-of-use fortification of foods consumed by pregnant women. However, routine use of multiple micronutrient powders during pregnancy is not recommended as an alternative to standard iron and folic supplementation during pregnancy for improving maternal and infant health outcomes.

High food quality, together with adequate macro- and micronutrient intake in pregnancy, is crucial for the health status of the mother and child. Most conditions that occur in adulthood originate in fetal life. Moreover, some epigenetic events, modified by diet impact more than one generation.
