/*Preeclampsia*/ is a sudden increase in the mother's blood pressure after the 20th week of pregnancy.

The vitamins did not make a significant difference in lowering the preeclampsia risk.

Still, doctors say preeclampsia can have many causes so any single intervention is unlikely to be effective.
