Honest Company Prenatel Vitamins

in 2nd Trimester

I've searched the boards and can't quite find an answer to my question.  Honest Company sells a whole-food prenatal that has over 100% Vit A, Vit D, and K.  These are all Fat soluble vitamins and I know overdose on VIt A can have major effects on the baby! 

I asked my doctor about the difference in consuming Vit A in my diet vs. in pill form and he said to treat them separate.  As long as I don't go over 100% with the pill form then all is good.  Does anyone have any advice and know why they would put over 100% of RDA in these prenatal vitamins and most importantly if it is safe?

    I don't know but I assume it's because our bodies don't actually absorb 100% of what's in the pills. That said, I've been taking these for over a year. My baby is perfectly healthy

    Welcome! As a total aside, one thing I love about them is that they are coated in vanilla, and taste great instead of super gross like others. :)
