A member asked:

Iam 28 weeks pregnant should i take zinc 15mg a day and iron as well.is it safe if i take zinc and iron together .also iam taking folic acid,d,c?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnant vitamin ?'s: Taking "folic acid, D and C" is certainly advised in pregnancy, and the addition of zinc and iron may also be indicated under certain conditions. In general , a basic prenatal vitamin contains all essential mineral/vitamin supplements. If you are anemic, iron is sometimes added.
