Overview
•Folic acid at 500mcg is well within safe limits (UL 1000mcg/day) and supports pregnancy without excess risk for healthy adults.
•Iodine from potassium iodide (150mcg) aligns with pregnancy RDA (220mcg/day) and poses low risk unless thyroid conditions exist; consult physician.
•Suitable for pregnancy when dietary intake is inadequate, but advise doctor of any medications, especially in first trimester.
•No added allergens like gluten, yeast, or milk derivatives reduce sensitivity risks; ideal for those with common intolerances.
•Store below 30°C to maintain stability; no known contamination issues with Blackmores manufacturing standards.
•Long-term use safe at one tablet daily, but monitor for hypervitaminosis if combining with multivitamins.
