Lightbulb no harm

Prenatal vitamins have more folic acid than OTC ones. 1mg

They typically have less Vit A, and sometimes a bit more B6 (10mg-25mg).

They have Iron which post menopausal women do not need. (unless anemic).

Typically they are low in Vit D, Vit A, and other bcomplex. Very low in Thiamine
which helps PN alot.

There are designed for PREGNANCY...
Here is a common one...
