Pre-Natal Vitamins - Favorite brand?
| Mon, 08-10-2009 - 4:05pm |
Hi everyone!
I've been taking pre-natal vitamins forever, but wanted to see what brands you use and if you like them. I think I want to change.
So, please share with us all:
Brand, Where you get them, Price, Quantity
Thanks!

Hey there!
I just saw your post. I've been taking a CVS brand that actually has a prenatal and another with DHA. I think the 30 day supply is $14.99.
Good luck to you!

I take One-A-Day Women's Prenatal. It comes in a two pack Multivitamin/multimineral and DHA supplement. each little bottle has 30 pills. Their prices vary from store to store but It's typically around $20 at walmart.
Thanks everyone for your responses! Wal Mart used to have this brand that I liked. They were small and pink, so you took two, but seemed to be easier on my stomach and much easier to swallow.
But I haven't been able to find them, so I switched to Trader Joes. They are bigger and harder to swallow. I have to cut them in half, but then you taste them more.
Thanks again!

I take Twinlab Dr Greene prenatals. I got mine at Walmart on clearance so I don't know if they still carry them. I think Target also carries them.
I don't remember the cost exactly, but I think it was around $13 or 14 for a 60 day supply.
Pros:
- No added sodium, artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives, tablet binders, or coatings.
- They come in a 60 day supply so I don't have to buy them as often (ie: REMEMBER to buy them as often...I have the WORST memory...LOL)
- They contain an easy to digest form of Iron that doesn't make you constipated
Cons:
- They're a little on the large side (but the capsule is easy to pull apart so I often add the powder to yummy milkshake or something...hey, it's an excuse to make a milkshake! LOL)
- You have to take 2 a day
- They don't contain DHA (but I don't find this to be a huge con, I just take 3-100 mg DHA tabs a day)
