Abstract: The START 164 team reviewed the evidence supporting IOM and WHO recommendations on 19 micronutrients for pregnant and lactating women and girls. The team began with a high-level landscaping of nutritional omics, with particular focus on recent work in metabolomics and proteomics. After that review, we turned our focus to a comprehensive review of iron needs during pregnancy and lactation, paying particular attention to anemia diagnosis cut-points and other clinically significant gaps in the literature. Finally, we reviewed the evidence related to 18 other micronutrients: calcium, phosphorous, copper, iodine, selenium, zinc, choline, and vitamins A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), B12, D, and E. Per a late request request, we categorized the nutrients as high-, medium-, or low-priority for future research investment.
