Was at the chemist warehouse today and noticed Swisse did have a multivit with no iron or iodine

Cheers

Just a note, my friend who is a natropath has said that iron combined into a multi-vitamin is no good as it binds with the other ingredients and essentially renders them useless... something to do with the difference between them and their purpose, i'm not sure cos she started to get all technical about it... but just a thought

Sorry to hijack your thread a bit Kate, but I was hoping someone could remind me about the recommended intake for folate? Everywhere I've googled is telling me something different and my fuzzy brain isn't coping LOL.

MR - you mentioned you just took folate too? I'm taking elevit at the moment, but the iron is messing with my system really badly. I think its probably making me feel worse on top of morning sickness already. Blerk.

I took .5mg tabs from the chemist - thats what my GP recomended.

I used to take a swisse multi vit for heamachomatosis sufferers but when preg ob suggested I stop due to various herbs etc that are not properly tested for pregnancy so in the end I just took folate.
