20 Best Prenatal Vitamins For Acne Prone Skin (2023 Updated)

When I was pregnant with my first child, I researched and tried several different prenatal multi-vitamins. I ended up sticking with Garden of Life myKind Organics Prenatal Multi because it is one of the only ones I could find with the NATURAL form of folate.

So many prenatal vitamins out there are using folic acid, which is the synthetic form of folate. I see a couple reviewers below are a bit misinformed on this aspect so I would highly encourage everyone to do their own research on this.

The natural form is the easiest for us to absorb and transfer to baby. I’m so sorry to hear this parent has a baby with NTDs, but blaming a prenatal–or worse, yourself–is something I hope they can overcome as there are other factors that play into the unfortunate outcome.

Anyway, I recommend this prenatal to everyone that is looking for a really great quality product. Not only is the folate taken from a natural organic food source but so is every nutrient listed. I never feel nauseous after taking them, they have no taste or smell and are easy to swallow.

I don’t mind the three-pill dosage, I just think of it as baby’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I also love how it comes in a glass bottle (less plastic waste ending up in a landfill).

Totally think this vitamin is the best. Dr. Allowed me to take this supplement during chemo. I feel that by taking this supplement while taking chemo allowed me to feel some energy, which helped with a positive attitude.

I am still taking this supplement, and plan on doing so for the rest of my life! I would much rather take a whole food supplement than one that is “chemical” in nature. I have no negitive side effects with this supplement, where as with non whole food supplements, I frequently had digestive and tummy issues.

ALWAYS talk to your Dr. Before starting ANY supplement regime! Pricing on Garden of Life Supplements is reasonable for the average person’s income. Not the most expensive, but not the least expensive either.

For me they are now a staple item for my diet.

These vitamins are amazing!! Throughout most of my pregnancy, I could hardly stomach meat and chicken and stuck mostly to dairy products, but, surprisingly, my iron levels throughout pregnancy stayed at around 12 and at birth, I was at 13.

5!! I was told that I no longer need an iron supplement because my levels were so good. Since my diet was sorely lacking in iron, my vitamins must have worked well kudos to Freeda!!.

Good basic prenatal vitamin. Easy to swallow and provides necessary nutrients during pregnancy and nursing as well. This product is certified kosher, which is very important to me.

The only Kosher prenatal I take. I like that it is one pill, instead of 2 or 4 like other brands. Be aware though, it is quite large. I can swallow it so long as I take it with juice or something besides water.

One other point- I wish it was cheaper.

This is a really high quality prenatal pill at a very reasonable price. In my pregnancy group many other women were complaining that their pills smelled or tasted awful, and some were using more expensive brands that were less complete.

I do not find these pills to be unpleasant at all and like that they have DHA so I don’t have to take additional supplements. The pill capsules themselves are pretty large but the coating makes them go down easily (at least for me).

When I first started taking these (pre-pregnancy, when TTC) I noticed they made my stomach feel a little off, likely because of the iron in them. So I ended up rotating these with iron-free gummy pre-natals every other day until my body got more used to them.

Once I was actually pregnant I switched back to using only these because I wanted most complete vitamin option available. I have used these throughout my pregnancy so far, including the entirety of the first semester.

I did experience morning sickness and don’t know if it would have been worse or better if I used a different pre-natal vitamin. If you are sensitive to the iron in these I found the rotation method worked for me.

Additionally iron supplementation becomes more important later on in pregnancy when your baby has depleted your iron and calcium stores, so you might find you can use a different prenatal if iron worsens your morning sickness then switch back to an iron-containing supplement later on if needed.

Note that dietary/supplementation needs are individual and depend on your current state of health and other factors. Always consult a doc if you are pregnant and not sure what medications and supplements to take.

Listen ladies, it’s all true, people are not exaggerating. I saw the previous reviews too and thought maybe people were. These things are VERY fishy. I mean, your fingers, your burps, your tongue, they’re all going to smell and taste like fishy fish, like the fishiest fresh fish, not like a yummy fish fry.

And the pill is HUGE which was hard for me because, I prefer pills for their simplicity, but my gag reflexes are too sensitive, so I always have difficulty no matter the size. So for a pill this large, I literally have to cover my mouth with my hand while I swallow so that I don’t spit it out.

This is exasperated by preganacy nausea. Got it because the price was great for the quantity and quality. But now I feel like, how great is it really if you can’t take it? So I don’t know, if you decide to try this, maybe take it at night, with a sweet drink, right before you eat a meal.

I’m going to try and take them for as long as I can but I’m going to research another one in case I can’t make it because pregnancy is a long road.

To begin, I’ll state that this box comprises two pill containers. One is a prenatal vitamin, while the other is a choline supplement. To receive the advantages listed, you must take one tablet of each.

The prenatal vitamins come in the form of softgel capsules. I prefer them to some of the other prenatals I’ve tried, which come in a pill or compacted form. The softgel is flavorless, and unlike other multivitamin pills, it does not leave a strange aftertaste in my mouth.

Choline comes in the form of a tablet that is somewhat smaller than the prenatal softgel. It’s also flavorless. When it comes to pills, both are rather large, although the prenatal’s size is standard for prenatals.

I’m not sure if they operate the way they do now. This is an excellent collection. They’re supposed to be prenatal vitamins, but they’re also beneficial if you’re breastfeeding or if you’re a woman who needs more nutrients.

Because the bigger, red vitamin is a soft gel capsule and the white vitamin is tiny enough to not create issues, they are simple to swallow.

I have been searching for good prenatal vitamins with all the vitamins and nutrients needed, but each time I’ve had to stop within 2-4 days because they have some kind of underlying allergen I react to.

I have recently been allergy tested a variety of different ways, and the doctors still can’t find what it is I’m allergic to in the vitamins at this time. Natalist are the first vitamins I have taken where I have NOT had a reaction of any kind.

They also use folate and choline which most prenatal vitamins either miss or use folic acid. They also do not use any additives or dyes of any kind – just pure natural! They really do have a great amount of each of the areas Moms and Moms-to-be are looking for in their prenatal vitamins.

It has also been helpful to have the choice to take the pills throughout the day or all at once depending on what works best for me. This is also helpful for the dreaded “morning sickness” so you don’t feel like you miss out on getting the vitamins necessary.

Natalist is also very transparent with their advertisement and customer service. They are true to their word and give you exactly what you see. No false advertisement at all! I would highly recommend these to anyone with allergies looking for a prenatal vitamin, but of course always check with your doctor first.

I am so happy to see that Natalist upgraded the Prenatals again. I started in the beginning with The Duo, which I loved. Sadly when it changed to the Prenatal for Her I couldn’t tolerate the smell of them and gagged every time I took them.

I wrote an email to let Natalist know about my situation. I paused my subscription to try other brands, Pink Stork, Perelel, Zahler; but I came back to Natalist for the ingredients. They have the best ingredients out there compared to the other brands.

Then I got the email about the reformulation: they were improving the formula. This is what I will say- Natalist has done it again! I’m so happy: no smell, no taste, and goes down easy. No sticking in my throat.

I’m halfway through my pregnancy and feel confident that I’m giving my baby all the minerals and nutrients too. Natalist is awesome- they listen to their customers and are always trying to improve their products.

I’m really happy with the Prenatal Daily Packets and will keep on being a customer. I also love the Lube and Fiber pills. Try these Prenatal Daily Packets!.

I am SO happy that I found these prenatals! Natalist is my fourth brand to try, and are the absolute BEST! The ingredients are amazing, the shipping was so quick, they are Vegan, the individual packets are so convenient, and my favorite part about these (that have been the most important aspect to me) is there is NO taste or smell when consuming.

I cannot tell you how sensitive to smells and tastes I have been, and these have been the only pills that have absolutely no taste or smell and bc of that I don’t have to hold my nose while taking them like I did with every other prenatal.

The capsule on these are very nice as well, not like the cheap capsules I have with other supplements. These are very high quality and don’t get stuck in my throat when swallowing like other capsules do.

Overall, I am beyond happy with Natalist, and would recommend them to anyone! :).

I love pink stork, I think it tastes great in juice. I look forward to it everyday. I feel good after and energized, not nauseated like most vitamins. I love the story, the values, the fact that is has been prayed over.

I can’t digest pills so this and Mary Ruth’s liquid vitamins are my only option. After reading research for months trying to pick optimal nutrition, I have concerns that the vitamin A is not BetaCarotene (no toxicity build up but sometimes does not fully convert to Vitamin A) and has been contraindicated in pregnancy in high does in this preformed vitamin A source.

It’s also a little high in the dosage. Should be around 700 mcg if going to give in preformed A so you don’t get too much Vitamin A with it combined with your diet. But because I don’t eat dairy, I think well it’s good to get preformed vitamin but the dose makes me nervous.

Now I’m going to have to watch my Vitamin A intake to make sure it’s not too high. A burden. I’m also wishing the plastic bottle was glass like Mary Ruth’s. I also am wishing it had Methyldated folate (as opposed to folate, but hey at least it’s not folic acid) but in a slightly lower dose (600 would be optimal) as higher folate is also advised against along with high b12, sighting autism concerns links.

Most companies know they should lower the standard folate now, but don’t want to for fear of losing customers and money. If you take this you will need to take supplements or food intake of Calcium, Magnesium, choline, Selinium, DHA just to name the top important things that are missing.

I’m glad they are missing a except selenium as Mag and calcium are bulky and need to be taken separately for better absorption. Choline and DHA you 100% should get a supplement and likely magnesium. Well hopes this helps someone.

I drove myself crazy with research but I ultimately settled on this because there is no perfect and modern prenatal and this is close. How Naive of me to think I can buy one supplement with no concerns for pregnancy.

I bought Pink Stork Mag spray with this as well. Cheers.

DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!! I am so mad at myself for not realizing this earlier. I initially I thought this product was a godsend as I really struggle with swallowing pills. I took it the majority of my first trimester and halfway into my second and I don’t know how I missed this but NO PREGNANT WOMAN SHOULD BE TAKING THIS HIGH OF AN AMOUNT OF VITAMIN A!!! Vitamin A is a teratogen (causes birth defects) and RDA is 700-900mcg if pregnant.

This company has 1300mcg per serving. I am in absolute disbelief this woman owned company is selling this formulation with that high of an amount. It’s honestly shocking. They should know better. I am beyond upset with myself for missing this.

DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!.

I want to like this product but PLEASE PLEASE switch the source of Vitamin A to Beta Carotene and not Retinyl! Studies have shown that any forms of Retinyl or Retinols have been linked to major fetus issues;Vitamin A is found in two primary forms: plant-based carotenes (beta-carotene) and animal-based retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl palmitate, and retinyl acetate).

Look for vitamin A that is from beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is less likely to build up toxic levels in the body than with retinoids. In addition, high levels of retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl palmitate, and retinyl acetate) have been linked to an increased chance for birth defects and Autism.

I feel these vitamins are an acceptable price for a clean product. I like that it’s a 50-day supply if you take two a day rather than single month so you don’t need to repurchase as often. I haven’t noticed any side effects from these which is great because they contain iron which can sometimes upset my stomach.

I wouldn’t say I feel any different but wouldn’t necessarily expect to as I am generally in good health and have always taken multivitamins. I am glad to have prenatal vitamins that are free from fillers and other chemical excipients.

Well sourced vitamin complex. I’m so glad I’ve found this! I’ve been taking this multivitamins since beginning of my pregnancy, I’m 30 weeks now and all bloods tests came perfect (no need of adjustments on food/vitamins intake) and I feel very well (no constipation or nausea).

Also, shipping with Landys is always great, they provide shipping updates from Royal Mail and products arrive within 5 working days. I highly recommend Terranova prenatal multivitamin.

As with every nutritional supplement, one cannot be completely sure, but I am almost certain this vitamin is the best I have ever tried, after using it for months. Well-rounded, it is the most comprehensive, in terms of the ingredients list, out of all the Terranova vitamins I have ever tried, and, like all the vitamins from this brand, it contains no bad ingredients that I know of, and I do not recall having any stomach ache, headache ore other disturbance after using it.

Would definitely recommend.

I decided to start taking prenatal vitamins and make healthier lifestyle changes a few months prior to trying to conceive. This is the second prenatal vitamin I purchased after two months of being on a different brand.

I love everything about these prenatal. These are easy to swallow, do not make me sick, changed my skin and hair drastically (for the better), and give me energy (once I consistently was on them for 2+ weeks).

Additionally, they contain folate (rather than folic acid was recommended to me) and iron.

Nature’s Plus Source of Life Prenatal is the best prenatal I have found! I was looking for a food based/ all natural vitamin – these are derived from vegetables and they are easy on my stomach! I have noticed my hair and nails growing faster and healthier and more energy.

I truly feel I am fueling my body with the purest nutrients when I take these vitamins. Another pro to this product is that it has folate vs. folic acid. Folic acid is synthetic. Use prenatal with folate!!.

I purchased these prenatal vitamins after reading the reviews of them and I am so glad that I did. They are wonderful. Here are my favorite things about them: 1. They do not contain soy. 2. The daily dose is only 2 pills, instead of 4 or 6! 3.

While they are a larger pill, they do not have that funny taste to them that makes you want to gag. 4. They cost far less than some other prenatal vitamins that charge $30-$40 per bottle! The only drawback I’ve noticed is that they do turn my urine that neon yellow color.

But I take both of my pills together. If I took one in the morning and then one in the evening the vitamin c might be absorbed better, instead of coming out in the toilet. Overall, I am so pleased with these vitamins and would recommend them to my expecting friends.
