Gestcare is specially formulated to enhance the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy. It serves as a micronutrient supplement, not a substitute for a balanced diet, and supports the optimal growth and development of the fetus while maintaining the mother’s health.
Gestcare is based on the UNIMAP formulation endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and tailored to meet the increased nutritional demands of pregnancy. It provides 15 essential micronutrients, including Iron and Folic Acid, which align with the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for pregnant women.
Gestcare helps prevent anemia, supports fetal growth, and lowers the risks of:
Low birth weight (LBW)
Small-for-gestational-age (SGA)
Preterm birth
Scientific Evidence (Lancet 2017):
Daily MMS supplementation in pregnancy reduces:
LBW by 12%
SGA births by 8%
Preterm births and neonatal mortality significantly
Objective:
To replace traditional IFA (Iron + Folic Acid) with Gestcare MMS and reduce the prevalence of LBW in Bangladesh.
