Objective:
To study sexual activity related to preconceptional multivitamin supplementation.
Design:

Setting:
The Hungarian randomised double blind controlled trial of periconceptional multivitamin supplementation.
Participants:
Six hundred and eighty-seven women with multivitamin and 655 women with trace element supplementation in the preconceptional period.
Results:
There was no difference in the rate of sexual activity between the multivitamin and the trace element groups.
Conclusion:
Multivitamins do not increase sexual activity.
