Can i take emergen c during pregnancy?

I'm feeling a bit run down and want to boost my immunity, especially since it's cold season. I usually take Emergen-C, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's safe for me.

Actually my cousin asked her doctor about Emergen-C when she was expecting, and the doc told her to avoid it because of the mega-doses of certain vitamins. Better to check first!

Ghar pe nimbu paani piyo behan, woh sabse badhiya aur surakshit hai. Bahar ke yeh powder bina doctor saheb se pooche mat lena abhi, bache ka sawal hai.

Stay positive and take care of your beautiful health during this blessed time. It is always wiser to consult your doctor before taking high-dose supplements, to keep things simple and safe.

I had some unexpected complications during my second pregnancy, so I became extremely cautious. Please don't take any high-dose vitamin packets without your obstetrician's direct approval.

My doctor told me to avoid Emergen-C because it contains extremely high amounts of Vitamin C and other minerals that exceed the daily recommended allowance for pregnant women. Regular fruits are much safer.
