Are Prenatal Vitamins Good for Women who Aren Pregnant?
A prenatal vitamin contains many of the same vitamins and minerals found in a regular daily multivitamin, but also contains high levels of iron and folic acid. Most prenatal vitamins contain 27mg of iron–the amount recommended for pregnant women, as compared to the 18mg recommended for non-pregnant women, explain Drs. Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz in their book “You: Having A Baby.” Prenatals also contain 800 to 1,000mg of folic acid.
