A member asked:
Anyone know what is a safe amount of iron and vitamin b12 to take when pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
B12 is safe: Any amount of b 12 is safe since excess is eliminated-but more than contained in a prenatal vitamin is wasted some iron is advisable and again any amount is safe since only a small portion is absorbed. A practical dose for most patients is the usual prenatal vitamin once daily and one additional iron pill after a later meal.
