Prenatal vitamins largely go unchecked before reaching store shelves.

Consumer Reports noted that prenatal vitamins are a routine part of prenatal care, yet the category remains largely unregulated. Brands are not required to verify their contents before products reach consumers, creating inconsistency in nutrient dosing across the market.
