Thorne has invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that enable us to conduct four rounds of testing, including raw material testing, in-process batch testing, finished product testing, and expiration date stability testing for each lot of product that we manufacture. |

Important information
Safety Information
If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. The use of this supplement is not recommended concurrent with the use of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin) and/or methotrexate cancer therapy. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. With the changes in hormones, and the sensitive stomach often experienced in early pregnancy, nausea, upset stomach, and aversion to the smell of prenatal vitamins is a very common and expected occurrence.
