Can Nutrilite Protein Powder Be Given Along With Tri-Iron Folic Supplement During Pregnancy?

Hello Sir. My wife is in her second month of pregnency(tested at home and yet to consult a doctor). I am planning to give her 1. Neutralite Protien Powder (1 Serving a day), 2. Cal Mg D (1 Tab a day, taking since a month), 3. Iron Folic (1 Tab a day, taking since a month) & 4. Salmon Omega 3 (1 tab a day). Do I need to give her the Iron-Folic and Calcium tablets prescribed by the yet to see doctor along with these suppliments? If I continue with both, will it cause any excessive supply of minerals and other things, if Nutrilite+Doctor s medicines are taken both.

Hi,

Mitra liye protein & iron-folic acid, Calmag D & Omega 3 fatty acid are good drugs &can be safely given during pregnancy.

Only thing is to keep on checking pregnancy profile investigations your obstetrician advises /confirm that the supplements you are giving are optimum.

Fetal growth & mothers health is. normal; so you don't need to take medicines prescribed by the doctor.

Also, inform the doctor you choose about the supplements you are already giving her.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
