Vitamin Code - Raw prenatal Whole food Vitamin

Question

Hi ladies. Would you recommend the above product. I feel the amount of follic acid is a bit too high 800mg. My GP said the recommended daily amount is 400mg. Higher amount of follic acid is only recommended if there was a previous concern for a justified reason. I am confused and a bit scared to take the vitamin as recommended on the label. Do you have any experience or more knowledge on this?

Answer

I used them throughout my pregnancy, my baby is perfectly healthy. I’m not sure what you would notice if they weren’t good? They didn’t make me sick or anything either.

Answer

Yes these are my favorite prenatals. I also like the garden of life organic prenatal multivitamin. Both have 800mcg of folate, which is the optimal amount according to my RE. The thing with folate is that it’s more easily absorbed than folic acid so your body takes what it needs and expels the rest. If you get too much folic acid it can be dangerous because it will sit in your system unused and can cause risks to you and your baby if taken for too long and allowed to build up. This is why I only take folate, and  avoid folic acid. Usually 400mcg is the minimal amount suggested, but 800mcg-1000mcg is the maximum amount suggested, with 800mcg as the optimal amount. If you’re under 35 then 600mcg is okay, but my RE still recommends 800 for everyone. These vitamins are also my favorite because they’re whole food vitamins so they’re easy on your stomach.

Answer

I used that for my last pregnancy! (Vitamin code) and it was great! Tried something different for this pregnancy and I love it!
