Prenatal Multivitamin with Gentle Chelated Iron, Methyl Folate, Plant Calcium & Choline - Vegan, Vegetarian - Non-GMO - Gluten Free - 180 Capsules - 2 Month Supply

I was worried about the smell after reading all the reviews. The pills do smell somewhat but if you really smell them, you’ll understand they smell like seaweed or algae which is the source of one of the vitamins. This is a NATURAL source of the vitamin and means that you aren’t getting something that is synthetic. For those that are also worried, they don’t actually taste like they smell. There is no flavor to them. I think the issue of the smell could be resolved if the company did these in a gel pill instead of a capsule. I like that these have natural sources of vitamins and minerals. In the synthetic form, some of these vitamins can actually be dangerous once you reach a certain level but your body needs more during pregnancy. It’s a win/win. I also like that these contain a wider array of vitamins and minerals compared to other prenatal out there. I do use the NOW brand with DHA however, those are on back order and needed a replacement prenatal. This one fit the bill for most of the same array as well as being made with the natural sources. I already take Baby and Me 2 Choline/DHA to stack my Choline intake so I don’t have an issue with the DHA being removed in this prenatal. My dogs take fish oil pills and I just added one of those to replace what the Now brand has in it. I also take Inositol and Berberine as supplements with this. For reference, I have PCOS and have had pretty crazy menstrual cycles after a miscarriage 9 months ago but also was getting extra long cycles since post pregnancy 3 years ago. Between pairing a great prenatal with the Inositol/Berberine, my body is back to a normal schedule like before I had my son. I’m now ovulating with upwards of 12-15 eggs a month (at 38 y/o) and my Reproductive Endocrinologist stated everything looks great with my ovaries and reproductive system now. I attribute this to a high quality prenatal which goes a long way to help prep the body to be ready to get pregnant. I’ll update if I do end up getting pregnant again and how long that takes me so you have a reference on these pills. I will be trying for the first time post miscarriage next month. Until then, happy healthy pregnancies and baby dust to all those trying.

I had a hard time determining if this prenatal would be good, but I am pleasantly surprised with it. People complained about the smell, and though it has an odor, I understand that the ingredients which make up the prenatal cause this “fishy” smell. I am pleased with it truly. It doesn’t make me sick and doesn’t cause other gastrointestinal issues.

Update: My wife was contacted by the company who recommended putting the pills in the refrigerator or freezer to minimize the fishy/ ocean smell. This helped. However receiving another bottle from a different batch made all the difference. She keeps these in the freezer and says they have no smell or taste like before. Success! Thank you customer service! I understand the company was on a mission to ever improve their product by using natural ingredients, which initially resulted in the fish smell. I'm glad they have figured it out and all is well. My wife has always enjoyed the quality of the product (in that she feels good on it) and will continue to buy and take this prenatal pill. Old post: Wife says....Not sure what happened but this latest bottle (now with a lady in a purple dress) smells and tastes like rancid fish. Very yucky! However, since I've had such great success with this product (NOT the postnatal version) I'm still taking them. Naturelo - please return your product to its original, flavor-free state.

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing a prenatal vitamin and have been using this (I've re-purchased multiple times now) for almost an entire year. I wanted to start taking them before I got pregnant to prep my body and now I'm six months along! I trust the ingredients and know that I'm putting healthy things in my body to also support my pregnancy and baby. My one complaint is that three pills is a lot to remember and take...it was especially hard during my first trimester when I was sick. But other than that I have been recommending these to other women in search of a good prenatal. UPDATE: I have been taking these prenatals for nearly three years. I switched to the postnatals right after my daughter was born and then back again before we started trying for baby #2. I have long loved these and the ingredients, recommending them to every woman who asks what I take. HOWEVER, as many have stated the new bottle I received, changed to feature a pregnant woman in a pink dress, is pretty dang terrible. I've always smelled a very *slight* fish smell when I opened the bottle, especially with pregnancy nose, but this is pretty dang rancid. The capsules are extremely pungent both to smell and to taste. And then I immediately start getting those lovely fish burps within 20-30 minutes that last for probably an hour. It would be one thing if I could take one right before bed, but taking these three times daily has become downright miserable. I was embarrassed when a friend I had recommended them to (in her first trimester and experiencing morning sickness) told me she couldn't take them because they were so bad. I thought maybe she got a bad bottle, but mine was bad too and the other reviews from recent months seem to confirm it. Now I'm in the market for another prenatal.

Has amazing side effect - my hair is growing more these days thanks to this supplement :) the vegan recipe is good for overall health, and no weird taste at all. Thumbs up for creating a great product for women !

I'm updating my review from the one below because once again Naturelo proved to be a solid company. They listened to their buyers, removed the fishy DHA (you can supplement with your own DHA, Nordic Naturals has a great prenatal DHA) and upped the Choline which means I don't need to consume 300 eggs a week - hooray! This is truly the best prenatal on the market and I will continue to repurchase. Thank you Naturelo for always striving to have the best quality multivitamins and listening to your buyers when something isn't quite right! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve been a loyal customer of Naturelo and have been taking these prenatals for almost a year now. I’ve been really happy with this prenatal until the recent change in formula. I can appreciate them trying to source a better DHA in the new formulation - the reason I like their brand is because I can trust the quality of their ingredients, but there’s just no way someone in their first trimester will be able to keep these down with the strong smell of algae. If they aren’t able to source a good quality DHA that doesn’t smell, I rather they remove DHA completely and I will supplement outside of the prenatal. I’m also disappointed they reduced the amount of Choline as it is so difficult for me to get enough Choline with food. There’s only so many eggs I can eat! I will continue to take these until I get pregnant and hopefully they will modify the formulation by then.

Before deciding on a multivitamin to take during pregnancy I did my research, spent hours and hours comparing ingredients and the provenience of them. This was by far in my opinion the best supplement I could find at a reasonable price. These are not cheap but i would buy this product over and over again as throughout my pregnancy I felt great, had lots of energy whilst other friends suffered from iron deficiency etc. I gave birth to a strong a healthy baby boy and i'm sure these vitamins played their role. Post pregnancy I didn't suffer from hair loss as most women do, which again, I think must have had something to do with these vitamins. I am still taking one a day as I had one bottle left and as soon as the little one is ready to take vitamins i will be looking at the range Naturelo offer. I wholeheartedly recommend these.

I love this product

Leaving my previous review below as I really loved this before. But updating to 1 star and honestly 0 if I could. I loved this my last pregnancy. Then I read reviews about a fishy smell and thought ah maybe a bad batch. So it’s not fishy. But it’s WEIRD. Like a weird almost vinegary acidic smell now? And every pill is coated in powder. Almost wondering if I got a bad bottle and one of the pills exploded inside it scattering powder? Like should I just not even take it? So gross. Honestly. Too bad. But I’ll be buying something else now. I did a lot of research before buying prenantal vitamins - and this one checked every box. All natural sources, easily digested, etc. I don't find they taste like anything (they smell a little I suppose, but honestly I don't even notice unless I am intentionally sniffing the bottle). Easy to swallow. Yes, you have to take them 3 times a day... but any good prenatal does not have enough of the "good stuff" if you only need one pill. Never had any issues with digestion or nausea. Just love these. Have been using them for 6 months now, and I will continue with the post natal ones after baby.
