Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically for women after childbirth can improve their nutrition and health in women who are pregnant or have recently given birth (within 6 weeks). The main question it aims to answer is: Can a postpartum-specific vitamin and mineral supplement help improve nutritional status and health outcomes in women after giving birth? Researchers will compare women who take the new postpartum vitamin and mineral supplement to women who take a placebo (fake pills without active ingredients) to see if the supplement improves their nutritional health. Participants will: Attend 2 visits at University of Georgia (1-1.5 hours each) over 12 weeks Participate in 2 phone calls between visits Stop taking other vitamin/mineral supplements during the study Have blood drawn to test vitamin and mineral levels Provide urine samples and breastmilk samples if breastfeeding (optional) Have height, weight, and skin color measured Complete questionnaires about health, pregnancy, and mental wellness Answer questions about daily food and drink intake Take either the study supplement or placebo daily
