Prenate Elite Prenatal Vitamins
Healthcare providers often prescribe a prenatal vitamin called Prenate Elite® to supplement any nutritional gaps in a pregnant woman's diet. However, pregnant women aren't the only people who can take this product. For example, Prenate Elite may be recommended for certain women who are breastfeeding or trying to get pregnant.
Prenate Elite contains a large dose of iron, which may be beneficial for women who are prone to anemia. It also contains folic acid, which can help prevent birth defects.
There is only one standard dosage of this product: one tablet per day. Common side effects include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Constipation
- Diarrhea.
