A member asked:

Is it good to take a prenatal multivitamin each day when you are not pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes, it is recommended that every woman of child-bearing age, who is capable of conceiving, take a daily prenatal vitamin. This way, if one becomes pregnant unexpectedly, the prenatal vitamins are already on-board and ready to go to work helping to keep the baby healthy.
