Rainbow Light Women’s Answer Multivitamin is safe to take by pregnant or lactating women, though if you are pregnant a prenatal vitamin is recommended. It is also compatible with HRT (hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills).

Rainbow Light Women’s Answer contains an advanced antioxidant formula including 400 IU of natural vitamin E, 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 200 mcg of selenium -- plus mixed carotenoids including lutein and lycopene. And it’s iron-free, since iron is a potential pro-oxidant, especially in post-menopausal women. Also contained are important bone-supporting minerals including 1,000 mg of calcium, 500 mg of magnesium and 20 mg of zinc, plus a heart-health complex featuring hawthorn, vitamin E and mixed tocopherols.

In addition, Rainbow Light Women’s Answer contains 800 micrograms of Folic Acid a very important component to woman’s health. Folic acid is almost never found in foods we eat and therefore must be supplemented in some other way. Folic acid plays an integral role in the way cells metabolize. The vitamin complex is especially important for those women considering becoming pregnant. One stuffy by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicated that Folic Acid reduced the rate or neural tube defects by as much as 70%. These defects affect approximately 3000 pregnancies per year and can be fatal. The US Government recommends that ALL (not just those planning on becoming pregnant) women of childbearing age consume 400 micrograms of folic acid on a daily basis. For those on one of the popular reduced carbohydrate diets opine, supplementation with Folic Acid is extremely important because many of the sources of grains that are enriched with Folic Acid are limited on such diets.
