Kin Fertility Babies & Kids

After getting through half a bottle of their prenatal vitamins I found a bunch of vitamins towards the bottom that were all warped. When I emailed… Read more

them I kept getting a reply that would say someone would respond within 24 hours, of course It took them a few days to finally reply to me, they did give me a refund which was good but what I find alarming is their lack of care, they did not ask for a batch number there was no explanation for how this could of happened, no assurance that they would investigate and look into this. I was also concerned since I had taken half the bottle if it was safe? But there was no reassurance or advice from them personally just a generic email with the number for a poison line which I found more alarming.

I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant and concerned for my baby as I have been taking Kin since before I conceived. I went to the doctor about this and got a blood test, found out that I already have anemia, which I didn’t just a few months ago. The doctor found it a bit odd that I’m already anemic and that my iron levels came back good, she said that it’s likely caused from low folate or b12, I am getting retested for this. I’m quite alarmed to find out I could have low folate after taking kin for months and worry that I haven’t given my baby a good source of folate. I also come to find out that methylated folate is much less shelf stable than folic acid, so it’s concerning that I received a bunch of defective tablets with a likely unstable formula.

Also be aware they only contain 27.5mg per tablet of choline, when I questioned them about this, they didn’t really give me an answer as to why they have such a low amount, when the recommended amount for a pregnant woman is 440-450mg.

I’ve since found another prenatal naternal, they are third party tested, Australian made and contain 275mg of choline per tablet.

I am now wondering if I should report this incident to the TGA due to their lack of responsibility. I’m concerned about the safety of these tablets.
