Can I use these tablets during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or alongside other vitamin C supplements?

Vitamin C needs do rise modestly during pregnancy and lactation, but the requirement is usually met through a varied diet plus any prenatal supplement already prescribed. Adding a separate chewable product on top can push total intake above the recommended upper limit, which for adults is 1000 mg/day from supplements in the EU. Excess vitamin C is excreted, but very high doses may cause gastrointestinal upset (diarrhoea, cramps) and, in susceptible individuals, increase oxalate stone risk. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to any ingredient, or already taking a multivitamin, effervescent tablet, or fortified food that supplies vitamin C, speak with your midwife, GP, or pharmacist before starting this product. They can confirm whether the extra amount is appropriate for your situation and help you avoid unintentional double-dosing.
