Zinc supplements in pregnancy?

[PregnantGrrrl]

There's nothing on the bottle (from Holland and Barrett) to suggest i can't take them, and i've heard Zinc is good for helping prevent stretchmarks.

Anyone know any reason why i can't have them?

How much do you need?
The recommended daily allowance for zinc is15 mg per day, but a long-term intake of up to 30 mg per day is not considered harmful.

Are you taking too much?
Zinc intake in excess of 300 mg per day may impair immune function.

Copied from the pregnancre website. Pregnacare contains 15 mg.

brilliant- thankyou!

the ones i have are 15mg, so should be fine.
