Are pre natal vitamins ok to take if you're not pregnant? any harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron: Prenatal vitamins usually contain iron which is ok for pregnant or young(menstruating) woman, but taking iron regularly for a male or nonmenstruating women isn't advisable unless they're shown to be iron deficient. Too much iron intake can be harmful in this group.
