Announcement and Critical Findings from Tamara Rubin:

In our ongoing commitment to consumer safety and informed choices, we have recently tested a variety of prenatal vitamins. Unfortunately, nearly all of these products, including this particular one, revealed concerning levels of heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic. This is especially alarming considering their use as prenatal supplements, which are intended to support both maternal and fetal health. The risk becomes even more significant for women aged 35 and above, classified as high-risk pregnancies, due to the potential for increased vulnerability.
