Really Expensive Pee For Pregnant Women

Actually, these supplements are worse than just being no more than expensive pee. In this case, it makes the problem even worse!!


What Happened
Pregnant women were coached to take high doses of vitamins C and E to lower their risk of developing a pregnancy complication marked by high blood pressure. 


What They Found
After reviewing nine studies including nearly 20,000 women, researchers found that women taking 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin E – much higher doses than in most prenatal multivitamins – were no less likely to develop the potentially deadly pregnancy complication known as preeclampsia.


It’s Even Worse Than That
Instead, they saw that women given extra doses of C and E had a higher risk of certain other pregnancy complications.


Last year, a 4-1/2-year study of nearly 5,000 women found those taking very high doses of vitamins C and E were 10 percent more likely to develop high blood pressure during pregnancy than volunteers taking placebo pills.
