prenatal vitamins From: Erin (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 13 Nov 1998 15:37:41 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Andrea: "artificial coloring in food usage during pregnancy" Previous message: Nicola: "GBS, PID & Pregnancy" Next in thread: Dr.: "Re: prenatal vitamins" Reply: Dr.: "Re: prenatal vitamins" Reply: R.: "Re: prenatal vitamins" I am currently trying to get pregnant, and have been taking a prescription prenatal vitamin daily. However, I have noticed that some OTC prenatals seemed to have higher amounts of certain vitamins and minerals. I figure that if this were a good thing, my doctor would have directed me to take one of those, but she only offered me a choice of three prescription vitamins. Which leads me to my first question: Are the vitamin and mineral levels in most OTC prenatals safe, or can they cause some sort of toxicity? If they are generally safe, are there any standards for supplementation? I have found tremendous variability between vitamins made by different manufacturers. I would like to know the minimum requirements for a good prenatal supplement. Maximums would be helpful, too. Also, do you have any opinion on selenium, chromium, and other minerals that do not yet have any established RDA? Should a prenatal include these as well? Thank you.
