Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, which means you need it in sufficient quantities in your diet daily because it can't be stored in the body.

Can I take Centrum while I'm breast feeding?

Centrum products are not suitable for pregnant or breast feeding women.

Centrum is not specifically formulated to meet the needs of breast feeding women. It is essential to ensure that breast feeding women eat a healthy, balanced diet to meet the needs of both themselves and the baby.

There are specific supplements available to meet the needs of mother and baby when breast feeding. We suggest you discuss this point with your GP, Midwife or Health Visitor (or Public Health Nurse in the Republic of Ireland).

Ginseng

Ginkgo biloba

Centrum Performance contains Ginkgo biloba, a natural herb extract. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of Ginkgo biloba use in breast feeding.

Therefore women who are breast feeding should not take Centrum Performance.
