PreCare Chewable Prenatals Question
| Tue, 08-12-2003 - 4:19pm |
Anyone taking precare chewable prenatal vitamins? I've been taking them about 3 weeks now. I asked for a script from my ob because I did research. My ob (who I am never going back to) had nothing to say to my questions. Here they are:
1. I've read you should consume little vitamin A during pregnancy.
2. Precare doesn't have b-12 so I've been supplementing (I'm an ova/lacto vegetarian).
3. Is 1mg of folic acid too much?
Any advice is appreciated.

3) I don't believe that's too much folic acid. While I think that sounds like more than a RDA, I know prenatal vits commonly contain MORE than 100% of the RDA of folic acid, because folic acid prevents birth defects.
I do know that Vitamin A has been found to counteract the absorption of calcium, so a lot of women's vitamins (like One-a-Day Women's Formula) have cut back the Vit A in each pill from a 100% value to 50%.
Good luck!

I think it's time to do a little more research.
