Are prenatal vitamins better then regular vitamins for women?

Prenatal vitamins do provide higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals than your everyday multi-vitamins. They're formulated that way because a woman's body needs those higher levels during pregnancy to provide adequate nutrition for both her and her child. The excess of certain nutrients, like iron, can actually be bad for you. In addition to the multi-vitamin, you should be getting these things in your diet. Just stick with a regular multi-vitamin. It's not worth the extra stress you'll put on your system.
