Question 1

i have started to take vita pearl as a prenatal vitamin. i haven't seen many reviews on it, fairly new. can anyone give their opinion on this?

thanks

Accepted Answer

It's a vitamin : It's one of the many brands of prenatal vitamins available. If you look at the ingredients you will notice all of them are almost exactly the same. Any prenatal vitamin that you enjoy taking will be fine. One is not better than another.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Many good choices: There are many high-quality prenatal vitamins available but the 2 brands i most often recommend are perfect prenatal by new chapter and prenatal one by rainbow light.

Question 3

is it bad if a teenage guy took a prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

No: It would not cause any problems.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Folic acid: Prenatal vitamins have most of the constituents of a regualr multivitamin but a higher dose of folci acid (at least 800 mcg). Folic acid is important to the fetus to make sure the neural tube develops normally.

Best of luck!

Question 5

what is a good over-the-counter prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

There are many: There are many good brands. Nature made is one. Just eating right is a good start, but  you are right that prenatal vitamins are probably a good idea, because pregnant and lactating women need more of some nutrients, like calcium, vitamin b12, folate (folic acid) and iron. And getting enough folate (folic acid) (400-800 mcg daily) is important before you get pregnant, to reduce the risk of spinal cord defects in the baby.

Question 6

can i take fenugreek and a prenatal vitamin together?

Accepted Answer

Yes unless pregnant: It is safe to take fenugreek and a prenatal vitamin. Fenugreek has many benefits. Due to estrogen-like properties it can enhance lactation, reduce menstrual cramps and reduce menopausal symptoms but it is advised to not use fenugreek while pregnant as it might increase risk of miscarriage.

Question 7

is it safe to take more than one prenatal vitamin per day?

Accepted Answer

Why?: You should stick to your doctor's advice; i generally recommend avoiding more than 1 pnv pill daily mainly due to concerns about hypervitaminosis a - possible teratogen.  You can take additional Folic Acid and calcium/iron as needed though, on top of the regular pnv dose.
