Planning For A Baby. Taking Nutrilite Folic Acid. Is This Normal To Consume?
Hello doctor,
I am recently engaged and my fiancé and I are trying to have a baby..I recently purchased
Nutrilite folic acid I read something on the label that said 3times the iron I was a bit curious about what that meant...could I conceive with it having 3 times more iron? I'm not sure on what it means...I have anemia and I'm 22yrs old 5"4
Please and thank you
Bea

Hi Bea,
Nutrilite folic acid is a supplement containing ferrous fumarate and ferrous gluconate 10 mg together with 0.133 mg of folic acid.
So, it contains 2 forms of iron which can be well absorbed by our body. Iron will improve anemia through increasing the production of red blood cells.
Folic acid is important in increasing chances for pregnancy together with inhibiting the malformation of neural tube in the on-coming baby.
All the best!
