Re: Vitamins
yeah be careful when taking vitamins...i usde to take 'one a day' but then noticed it had gelatin, and so does centrum, and many others..now i had to take the life brand one. does anyone know of any others that don't have haram ingredients? i know sahar pointed out viactiv, but any others..?
Re: Vitamins
Thats why I stopped taking centrum too. Solo Day from GNC doesn't contain any gelatin.
Re: Vitamins
If and when you are trying to conceive, you can take any store brand pre natal viatmins, these contain extra floic acid plus other viatmins. These will not harm you if you don't get pregnant soon enough while taking them. Regarding gelatin, try Whole Foods, they have a range of vegetarian based vitamins including pre natal ones.
Re: Vitamins
Unless you have specific problems, one a day multi vit & mineral supplement is good. For women of all ages EPO(Evening Primrose Oil) is an excellent supplement which you would have to take separately. For conceiving, you would be advised to take folic acid. Also once you pregnant you should avoid Vitamin A....strange though I heard this not advised in US.
Re: Vitamins
The only Vit a woman should take is B, others like C and Zinc waghera are enough in the food we eat.
Folic Acid should be taken when pregnant. There are certain cereals that have Folic Acid.
Dont fill up your body with all unnecessary Vitamins unless your doctor prescribes 'em to you.
