Nikita:

This vitamin mix should be fine. Nothing is too high in doseage.

Then could I take the recommend two capsules per day? Or is it safer for my 4 year old nursing toddler for me to only take one capsule per day? Thank you!!

[admin]

Nikita:

I would not recommend two capsules of this daily. That is running up the daily dose of each of the vitamins into a risky area and both these pass into milk, particularly Vitamin A.
Vitamin A and Vitamin D both have risks at high doses.

Tom Hale Ph.D., R.Ph.

[Nikita Munro]

Ok. So just to confirm, one capsule per day is safe then for me to take whist nursing a 4 year old?

[admin]

Yes. One a day is OK. I hope you're not spending too much on this. It's just a typical multi vitamin.
