: It is recommended that you take prenatal vitamins when trying to get pregnant. It would be good for you to establish a relation with an obstetrician for advice about conception, antenatal and prenatal care.
Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Question 4

i'm not pregnant, and i'm not planning on being pregnant, but is it alright to take prenatal vitamins, for my hair, nails, and skin?

Accepted Answer

As long as you don't: have a problem tolerating the iron- that is fine. Take care.

Question 5

best prenatal vitamins to take?

Accepted Answer

Ideally with 5-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, & natural e, not synthetic.

Question 6

when should you start prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Immediately: You should start prenatal vitamins when you start being prenatal.

Question 7

when should you stop taking prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Not for a while: Continue to take your prenatal vitamins until you are done breast feeding, which will hopefully be at least a year after you've given birth.  As long as you continue to take your prenatals, your baby will get a good dose of most vitamins directly from you.  The exception is vitamin d, which doesn't come out in the milk.  Supplement your baby with at least 400iu of vitamin d daily.

Question 8

what happen if you take two prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: No significant issues if you take 2 vitamins by mistake.

Question 9

is it ok to give sr citizen prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Other option better: No harm in it, really, but a prenatal vitamin may not contain the amount of other vitamins and minerals (like calcium and vitamin d) recommended for this age. A multivitamin specifically formulated for older men or women would be a better option.

Question 10

what is the best way to take prenatal vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Any way: Chewables or tablet form, as long as you can tolerate taking the vitamins, that is what is important. Prenatal vitamins are SUPPLEMENTS to a healthy, well-balanced diet. In addition, if you are planning to conceive, best to start a prenatal or multivitamin supplement (extra folic acid) 2-3 months prior to conception and throughout the first trimester. I personally prefer DHA in the prenatals.
