Ascorbic Acid crosses the placenta. With the ingestion of high doses of Ascorbic Acid during pregnancy, the fetus can adapt and then develop a scorbutic illness after birth as a withdrawal reaction. Therefore, higher doses should not be used in pregnant women or those likely to become pregnant, unless the expected benefits outweigh any potential risk.

Use In lactation:
A maternal diet containing adequate Ascorbic Acid is sufficient 10 prevent deficiency in breast-fed infants, who therefore require no supplementation. It is not known whether maternal intake grossly in excess of the usual recommendation leads to harmful effects In the Infant, but theoretically this could occur. Therefore it is recommended that nursing mo1hers do not exceed the maximum daily requirement unless the expected benefits outweigh any potential risk.
