US Preventive Services Task Force
Iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia during pregnancy, with a significant prevalence that increases throughout the trimesters.

The findings indicate that the current evidence is insufficient to determine the balance of benefits and harms of these interventions on maternal and infant health outcomes.
