Is it okay to take prenatal vitamins even if i'm not trying to get pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Prenatal vitamins are designed to contain lower levels of some ingredients, eg- vitamin a which can be toxic to the fetus. It makes them more expensive.. There is no benefit in taking them when not pregnant, but ther is definitely no harm.
