Should be fine: I was surprised Vitex is in this. Vitex is a herb that is often used to balance female hormones.It treats PMS and can improve fertility. It's probably safe in pregnancy though more research is needed.BUT the form in this prenatal is 4 mg of the seed as a source of mixed tocopherols. The dose used to affect hormones is about 500 times higher so as a source of tocopherols I'd expect this to be safe.
