What vitamins should an older teen take through pregnancy?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Scenario:

18 year old girl, I’m gonna say 4 to 5 weeks pregnant.

My best friend told me she found out she is pregnant. She is excited about it but I am worried about the health of her and her baby. She is planning to keep it, please no lectures on ideals and philosophy.

My questions is what sort of vitamins should she take, if any? Pre-natal vitamins? Any specific brands?

Thank you for your time.

She needs to buy any prenatal vitamin that contains folic acid until she sees a doctor. At her first appointment, they will give her a prescription for stronger vitamins with her specific needs in mind, but until her first appointment she can take any over the counter prenatal vitamin, but make sure it contains folic acid, which decreases the risks for neural tube defects.

What vitamins should I take to make my hair grow faster?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I’ve heard that prenatal vitamins make hair grow much faster, but is that safe if you’re not pregnant/planning to be? Should I take specific vitamins or just a daily multivitamin? Please help; I just got a horrible haircut. :(

biotin and prenatal pills work the best.

What vitamins should a 27 year old female be taking?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I am in good health but need to know what vitamins I should be taking to better myself. I know I should take a multi-vitamin daily but is there anything else I should take? My goal here is to be as healthy as I possibly can, not to lose weight or anything like that. I appreciate your answers.

B Complex can be very helpful to our health as well as taking calcium and magnesium. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

I dropped liquid vitamins on my carpet. Does anyone know how to remove the spot/smell?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

While giving my son a dose of liquid infant vitamins I dropped the bottle on the floor. If you have never used this type of supplement, let me tell you…They have a hue similar to iodine and smell very strongly of iron (also an igredient). I have been able to get the majority of the stain out of our rose colored carpet, but, my son’s room smells very bad now. The entire room is permeated with the smell of iron. I don’t know how to remove the smell. The vitamins are regular over the counter enfamil liquid vitamins with iron.

Blot with Alcohol until totally removed. Blot with a solution of 1/4 of a cup of liquid HAND dish washing detergent per cup of lukewarm water. Blot with lukewarm water with a white towel. Blot dry with a dry WHITE absorbent towel. Apply a one-half inch layer of WHITE (no printing) paper towels to the affected area and weight down with a flat heavy object and remove the next day.

After you remove the stain, the smell should start to go away also. Keep the room well ventilated, and use baking soda on the area to absorb any left over residue from the vitamins. I used to use this with my son, so I know exactly what you mean!
If this doesn’t work, you may have to call in a professional. Good luck!
