Taron-C DHA
Trigen Laboratories
Overview
Taron-C DHA is a comprehensive prenatal supplement that provides many essential vitamins and minerals crucial for both maternal health and fetal development. Its core ingredients like Folic Acid, Iron, DHA, and key B vitamins are present in amounts generally recognized to be beneficial for pregnant women. However, certain ingredients like Vitamin B6 and Biotin are at very high dosages, which may lead to some downsides like potential nerve damage and interference with lab tests.
The Good
Comprehensive formulation specifically designed for prenatal and postnatal nutritional support.
Contains a highly effective dose of Folic Acid (1000mcg) crucial for neural tube defect prevention.
Provides ample Iron (35mg) to support increased maternal blood volume and prevent anemia during pregnancy.
The Bad
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) at 25mg is well above the RDA for pregnant women (1.9mg) and poses a risk of peripheral neuropathy with long-term high-dose use.
Biotin at 300mcg (857% DV) is significantly higher than the adequate intake for pregnant women (35mcg) and can interfere with a wide range of laboratory tests, leading to misdiagnosis.
High dose of Iron (35mg, 130% DV) may cause gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, constipation, dark stool) and could be problematic for individuals not deficient in iron.
