my pre-natal care vitamin

Introducting Ethex NatalCarePlus, my current pre-natal care vitamin. This contains the recommended 1mg of Folic Acid and contains no artifical colors or dyes or sweeteners. Thumbs up to that! Also, the Vitamin A is input as Beta Carotene (dervied from plants and converted to Vitamin A by your body) rather than retinol. Retinol is derived from fish oils and animal livers which, when taken in high doses, can actually lead to birth defects. Large amounts of beta carotene, on the other hand, will only result in you turning a little yellow or orange. Clearly the plant form is superior and I'm glad this is the form I'm taking, not only because I'm vegan, but because it's a zero-risk form of Vitamin A.
