Composition: Contains a combination of vitamins (such as A, C, D, E, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folic acid, and B12) and essential minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper). Some formulations may also include DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in a separate softgel.
Administration: The usual dose is one tablet daily, or as prescribed by a doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but antacids, dairy products, tea, or coffee should be avoided two hours before or after taking the tablet, as these may decrease the effectiveness of the iron.
