Vitamins B9, B12, zinc and homocysteine are involved in the establishment of the methylation capital: the formation of tissues and organs.

This can lead to alterations in the genetic programming of the child, which can provide a breeding ground for the absence of neural tube closure, obesity and type II diabetes.

vitamin B9 (or folic acid): closure of the neural tube (the spinal cord).

Homocysteine : excess due to a vitamin B deficiency or excessive alcohol consumption, is associated with a risk of repeated miscarriages during the 1st or 2nd trimester, congenital heart defects, pre-eclampsia.

excess of iron increased risk of diabetes and pregnancy-related hypertension.

Iodine and thyroid hormones affect neuronal migration and psychomotor development of the child.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids neuronal functionality and thus in brain development.

Post partum depression.
