They are stored in fat. The others are basically water soluble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1962649 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 11:36:44 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1962649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: for some vitamins &amp; minerals it is possible to take too much, but I don't know which ones off the top of my head. And this is likely more of an issue if done chronically, not just for a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1962496 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 02:46:13 +0000 LindsayInNY 1962496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: That was kinda my thought... I'm not eating "off limits" foods or drinking so if extra vitamins is the worst I'm taking??</p> <p>@GoGoSnoGirl: Just a bunch of vitamins and minerals really! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1962050 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 19:10:15 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1962050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure what else is in emergenC but I don't think it is advisable to take Airborne or echinacea (my typical go to) during pregnancy. Vit C is water soluble &amp; so you pee it out quickly. If you could just take small-med doses of vit c or even juices/fruits/veggies high in C several times a day &amp; stay hydrated, that'd help quite a bit. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961974 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 17:19:36 +0000 snowjewelz 1961974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it for a few days in 3rd trimester when I was super sick and couldn't take any meds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961917 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:40:53 +0000 78h2o 1961917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken it once or twice. Personally, I think its okay, though I haven't asked a doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961883 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:14:25 +0000 wheres_c 1961883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about just c?<br /> I'm coming down with something and bought chewable c </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961812 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:26:50 +0000 LindsayInNY 1961812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: I take a combo of vitamins in lieu of a prenatal which my doctor said is the same thing (it was her suggestion). Just sucks because extra rest isn't an option right now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961809 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:25:21 +0000 Mama Bird 1961809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emergen-c has a lot of vitamins that are already in prenatals, so I suspect it's not good to take because you could get too much. If you can just rest and drink lots of warm fluids, that's safer. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961804 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:22:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 1961804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: There is zinc in Emergen-C, I believe. I'm trying to hydrate. Were in Europe though so extra rest isn't really an option. Just trying to survive the rest of the without getting worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961796 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:17:12 +0000 blackbird 1961796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think either was really proven to prevent a cold, but zinc has! I don't think its a big deal to take a few Zinc lozenges and its on the safe list. And then the standard rest and hydration to boost my immune system as much as I can </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961788 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:13:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 1961788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MelisMc: Hmm interesting. I would think it has all the same vitamins as a regular vitamin? I'm borderline desperate at this point though! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961787 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:13:22 +0000 Boopers 1961787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The package of airborne I looked at said do not take if pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961772 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:09:01 +0000 MelisMc 1961772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just asked my doctor this today. Well, I specifically asked about Airborne. She said not to take it while pregnant because in addition to Vitamin C, it has a lot of other stuff in in that hasn't been specifically tested. She advised me to take Vitamin C instead- that you can't take too much because you will just pee out the excess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961760 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:03:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1961760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken half a pack of emergen-c. I didn't want to overdose on vitamins since I'm on Prenatal as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergen-cairborne-while-pregnant#post-1961748 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 14:55:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 1961748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone take either of these while pregnant? The label just says check with your doctor. I'm on vacation and seem to be coming down with something :/ </p>
