If I powder the prenatal vitamin for ingestion, does it affect the absorption of the elements?

Hello Ma'am,

Crushing it and mixing it with yogurt decreases the absorption of some components of the vitamin. I recommend you do not do this.

In its place, replace the multivitamin with taking a simple folic acid tablet (0.4mg per day). Indeed, this will help reduce your nausea probably and provide you with the only essential vitamin for your baby's growth (if you eat a varied, non-vegetarian diet and eat 3 meals a day).

Happy day,
