Question: Can you take prenatal vitamins if you aren't pregnant!?
I heard that prenatal vitamins are good for your hair, nails, & overall health, even when you're not pregnant!. Has anyone taken them, and what's in them!?

Answers:
Yes prenatal vitamins are very good, I work at a hospital and one of our hospitalists prescribes prenate for most of his patients that are admitted to help them get better quicker!. It won't hurt you to take them :) Just dont take another multivitamin with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

genrally its when you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant that people start saying ''dont eat this or dont drink that' !.!. so whats safe when you are pregnant or trying to become pregannt is problaby perfectly saft wehn you are not pregnant but to be honest as far as im aware the preganncy vitamins you can buy are highly expensive and would problaby only differ from normal ones because they contain more folic acid [somthing which naturally occours in food !.!. cereals contain it somtimes and as i remember brocolli also] and these vits probalby also contain less or no vitamin 'a' as i think that this is not good in pregnancy!.

yr best bet is to just buy a normal all round vitamin and eat a healthy well balanced diet !. pack in or reduce alcohol intake , stop smoking as this makes your skin look rubbish and also causes cancer and other nasties, take regular excersise and limit the junk food to days when every thing seems rubbish and you need cheering up!!

maybe next time your in the shop jsut get a packet of normal every day vitamin pills and a prego pack of vit pills and put them side by side!.!. i bet that teh difference will be tiny but that the finacial saving might be huge!

hope that this helps
