Question 1

what is a good prenatal vitamin?

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 2

which prenatal vitamin should i take?

Accepted Answer

Many options: Over the counter prenatal vitamins, an adult multivitamin, or even two flintstones chewables are all good options for most healthy pregnant women.

Question 3

how do i decide which prenatal vitamin to take?

Accepted Answer

All the same: The extra vitamins, minerals and iron that are required during pregnancy are all available in the appropriate amounts in any over the counter adult multivitamin.  There is nothing extra special or better about a prenatal.  A higher price does not mean it is better for you.

Question 4

is it possible to take too many prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Prenatal vitamins contain a few vitamins that you can take too much off. Vitamin a is the biggest concern.  In addition, most vitamins contain iron which can make you constipated.

Question 5

prenatal vitamin question. is there a small pill?

Accepted Answer

Prenatal vitamins: There are many types of prenatal vitamins. Some of them are smaller pills or capsules than others. There are also chewable vitamins. And a multivitamin plus a tablet of Folic Acid can be substituted for a prenatal vitamin.

Question 6

can you please recommend a good prenatal vitamin?

Accepted Answer

Ideally with L5-MTHF: Most prenatals are fairly similar but there's a subtle yet important difference. About 30% of people can't convert Folic Acid to its active form, L-5-MTHF, so to be on the safe side it's best to take one with that form like Prenatal Nutrients (Pure Encapsulations) , Basic Prenatal (Thorne) or Prenatal Pro (Designs For Health). These also have biotin, which is important, &amp; natural E, not synthetic.

Question 7

what is the best prenatal vitamin you'd recommend?

Accepted Answer

Any w/enough Folate (folic acid): The main thing that distinguishes prenatal vitamins from regular multivitamins is the presence of additional Folate (folic acid) or Folic Acid, consumption of which has been shown to decrease risk of neural tube defects. But because this part of the body develops even before missing one's period, it's imperative to start taking prenatal vitamins as soon as one stops using contraception.

Question 8

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

Accepted Answer

No: It would not cause any problems.

Question 9

should i be taking another prenatal vitamin with b-nexa?

Accepted Answer

It contains : Only b6 and a very high dose of folate (folic acid). This is a poor balance and you would do better with prenatal vitamins ordered by your ob/gyn.

Question 10
