Vitamins / supplements while breastfeeding

I was buying some multivitamins, cod liver oil and evening primrose oil in boots today and had my 10mo ds with me. I paid at the pharmacy counter and the pharmacist asked me if I was breastfeeding and whether I'd checked with my doctor that it was OK to take the supplements. I hadn't really even considered that there might be a problem. Too late now if there is as I've been taking this combo for 10 months!

I think the evening primrose is fine as it seems to help with the raynauds vasospasm in my nipples and Wendy from the bfn sent me a document about this.
I'm assuming lots of breastfeeding women take multivitamins and cod liver oil??
I hope I don't have a reason to be worried...
