Can someone look at this list and tell me if I need to add anything?
There are a bunch more ladies here that are more knowledgeable about the vits but here is what I take.
prenatal
400mcg of folic acid
500mcg b-12 sublingual
additional mulit-vitamin
D3 (my vit d is low)
1500 mg of calcium split into 500mg doses throughout the day
50mg of iron a day
I think that you need to check what kind of calcium you are taking. We can only absorbe calcium citrate and you really should be taking at least 1500mg a day of that. You should probably add in folic acid if you are not taking any. You should also have a complete lab drawn to see where your vit levels are to see if you need to add anything else (like I had to with the vit D). Also most of us (not all) take more than one mulit vitamin a day so you may need to add another one in.
