Vitamins! Help!

[GemmaTse]

Im taking folic acid and after reading on the forum about vitamin b6 i asked my boyfriend to get me some, he came back with pregnancy care tablets that have vitamin b6 in them and lots of other things, whats concerning me is i believe folic acid has iron in it and the pregnany care tablets do to, is it bad to take to much iron or are these ok together? or should i just take my folic acid and buy just the vitamin b6?? xx

Hi

I am sure its ok. My consultant told me that it doesnt matter if you take too much folic acid as its water soluble and so you just wee out the excess and it does you no damage. Based on that i assume it should be ok?

If your folic acid tablets are just folic acid they don't contain iron. With the pregnancy vits you shouldn't need to take separate folic acid tabs as they contain that too.
