Prenatal Vitamin PSA

[PepperPottsJ]

MTHFR Ladies - listen up...

the Honest Company Whole Food Prenatal was reformulated with folate (their Once a day already had it).  Happy Day!

I also don't think we have had this is a little while,  what is your favorite PNV and why?

I loved loved loved CitraNata Assure, because it managed to deal with mall off sensitivities and allergies,  until I needed folate as opposed to folic acid.  After an exhaustive search,  the only one that truly suited me turned out to be Honest Once Daily - available on target and honest,  both with Ebates and FSA eligible.

Thanks for the PSA. I take whatever brand is from Costco (in what feels like a bottle that lasts a while pregnancy!) and my dr Rx a folate pill. That looks easier though, so if I do run out, maybe I'll look into it!

I buy whichever one happens to be on sale when I run out.

Although, I did recently sign up for Subscribe and Save on Amazon for the Nature's Made Prenatal with DHEA.

I take the vegan Rainbow Light Prenatal because it's said to be easy on stomachs (I've been using it for about 2 years now and can attest to that mostly). It has folic acid, but I take a separate folate pill too.

I have an MTHFR mutation and I took the New Chapter prenatal (with folate) along with a Solgar folate supplement daily through 1st and early 2nd tri. I dropped the supplement after that, though, as there have been some studies linking autism risk to high folate levels in the mother in late pregnancy. Getting enough folate during the neural tube development stage (1st tri) is the most important thing.

That would be Nature Made prenatal+DHA. I know because I use the same ones and also get them from Costco


It is a huge bottle, although sadly I've been trying to conceive long enough that I've had to buy more than one now.

Trader Joe's all the way.

I liked the One A Day pnv & separate dha.

I like the Rainbow Light Prenatals too. I take mine at night, and haven't ever had stomach issues with them.
