What would happen if you used prenatal vitamins if you're not pregnant?

on another question i heard that using PRENATAL vitamins..helps ur hair and nails grow..and i was thinking about picking some up..but i want to know if something bad is going to happen because i am NOT pregnant?

Answer:
The object of taking pre natal vitamins is to avoid any deficiency if you are eating a "borderline diet". In particular it is important to take Folic acid.This helps to prevent a condition called Spina Bifida in the baby which can be a severe disability.

Now in specifically answering your Q they will NOT cause you any harm if you take them-however if you eat a good diet of meat/fish/fruit/vegetables and avoid rubbish foods it is not really necessary. Pregnancy is a specific condition where supplementary vitamins especially Folic acid are of value
They're just vitamins. Perfectly safe to use if you're not pregnant.
i use them all the time because my body needs them , i don't think that i get enough vitamines . so the anwer is they are perfectly fine to use.
Nothing bad can happen-they are for prenatal uses because they have more iron and folic acid in them than normal vitamins-that's all. I am taking them now because i am trying to get pregnant per my docs advice-they will not hurt you
