Summary:

For this report, GAO contracted with an accredited laboratory to test 12 prenatal supplements for the amounts of certain nutrients and heavy metal contaminants. The purpose is to provide the detailed laboratory testing results for the 12 prenatal supplements. The supplemental material includes graphical representations of the measured amount of each tested nutrient relative to the amount of that nutrient stated on the label—called the "percent of the label amount." The graphs show these values for each tested nutrient across all tested samples of the selected prenatal supplements described GAO's full report. This supplemental material also includes a table of laboratory testing results for all samples in which heavy metal contaminants were found.
