While prenatal vitamins are designed to support the nutritional needs of pregnant women, they can be harmful to young children if taken inappropriately. Prenatal vitamins often contain higher levels of certain nutrients, like iron, which can be toxic in excessive amounts for toddlers. It's essential to consult a pediatrician before giving any supplements to a child to ensure they receive the appropriate nutrients for their age and development.

Can a 65 year old woman with high blood pressure take a prenatal vitamin?

Prenatal, as the word implies, is best for pregnant women. With the expense of prenatal vitamins and since they are designed to support pregnancy, it makes no sense for a 65-year old woman to buy a product she really doesn't need. A good multi-vitamin will supply your daily dietary vitamin needs. Your doctor can suggest other supplements IF you need them.
