What is in CitraNatal Bloom?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 prenatal tablet. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ironas Carbonyl Iron, Ferrous Gluconate | 90 mg | 500%* | Higher than 99% of 6,910 products listing iron (median 5 mg). 2 times the adult UL a day. |

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- At 1 serving a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 90 mg of iron, 2 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
- Its 1,000 mcg of folic acid (filed by NIH under folate) is higher than 93% of the 7,022 folate products that print an amount; 183 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for pregnant and lactating. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.

- Directions
- Dosage and Administration: One tablet daily or as directed by a physician.
- Warnings
- Contraindications: This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
- Warning: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
- Warning: Folic acid alone is improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B12 is deficient. Precautions: Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.
- Adverse Reactions: Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.
- Storage
- Storage: Store at 20(0)C to 25(0)C (68(0)F to 77(0)F), excursions permitted between 15(0)C and 30(0)C (between 59(0)F and 86(0)F). Brief exposure to temperatures up to 40(0)C (104(0)F) may be tolerated provided the mean kinetic temperature does not exceed 25(0)C (77(0)F); however, such exposure should be minimized.
