Garden Of Life, Raw Vitamin Code Prenatal, 180 Vegetarian Capsules

I came here to check one of the ingredients on this prenatal vitamin, which I have used for both of my pregnancies, and I noticed a small string of negative reviews. So, I wanted to add my two cents, even though I usually tend to shy away from reviews. So far as I can tell, these prenatal vitamins have worked really well for both of my pregnancies. Our son is happy, healthy, and bright, and we had an uneventful pregnancy and labor and delivery. Our baby-on-the-way is developing well and is active in the womb. I also want to note that with my first pregnancy, sometime in my first trimester, I ran out of these vitamins and switched to Garden of Life for about a week or so. During that week, I started having painful cramps that were like nothing I have experienced before in my life, and I was genuinely terrified that I might be miscarrying. I told my husband about my symptoms, and he asked if I had changed anything in my routine. I said no at first, but then I remembered the prenatal vitamins. I switched back to Vitamin Code immediately, and within a day I was back to my happy, cramp-free self; from there, I went on to have a healthy pregnancy. So, just a word of caution that it really can make a difference which prenatal vitamins you choose. A few other thoughts: I think the taste of these vitamins are mild, and they're not too difficult to swallow. They do tend to float a little in the water when I take them, so I just take my time and try to relax. For those who are worried about Nestle owning the company now (I haven't verified this, but I will take others' claims at face value), I can say that I notice no difference between when I took these in 2015/2016 and now in 2021/2022. They seem just as high quality as they always were. The only other thing I'll note is that it's good to take an additional calcium supplement with these, especially if you avoid dairy. I hope this review helps and reassures anyone who might be on the fence. These are really excellent prenatal vitamins, tried and true for me, and I am glad to recommend them.

I really like these Prenatals. The top reason being that I can take them on an empty stomach without getting nauseous, that’s huge! All the ingredients seem very clean and the price is amazing! I tried the more expensive brands but can’t tell the difference so will continue these and recommend!

I will give this company’s product more 5 stars because of their professional service. They are amazing in every sides of their great product and service. I appreciate their excellent service.

I can't sing enough praises for Garden of Life Prenatal Vitamins. These little gems have been my go-to companion throughout my pregnancy journey, and they've truly exceeded my expectations. One of the standout features of these vitamins is their gentleness on the stomach. Unlike some other prenatal vitamins I've tried, these never caused me any discomfort or stomach aches. It's such a relief to have a product that supports my health and my baby's development without causing any unnecessary discomfort. The comprehensive nutrient profile of these vitamins is another major win. Knowing that I'm providing my body with all the essential nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy gives me peace of mind. From folate to iron and beyond, Garden of Life has covered all the bases to support both me and my growing baby. Perhaps the cherry on top is the fact that these prenatal vitamins are certified non-GMO. In a world where quality matters, it's reassuring to know that I'm consuming a product that meets the highest standards of purity and sustainability. In conclusion, Garden of Life Prenatal Vitamins have been an integral part of my pregnancy wellness routine. They're gentle on the stomach, packed with vital nutrients, and proudly certified non-GMO. I wholeheartedly recommend these vitamins to any expectant mothers looking for a reliable and holistic way to support their pregnancy journey.

This is a high-quality vitamin. I came across Garden of Life products while researching supplements through ConsumerLab. What impressed me most was that every single Garden of Life product that ConsumerLab tested ALWAYS passed their standards. Have all Garden of Life's products been tested? No. But ConsumerLab is an independent testing lab that depends on membership costs & donations to fund lab testing on supplements. They test for varying factors including but not limited to: absorbability; percentage of ingredients v/s packaging labels; contaminants (such as arsenic & lead - YES that's right ARSENIC & LEAD have been found in supplements), etc. But I digress... the consistency of Garden of Life's positive test results on varied products gives me confidence in their quality & standards. I used to take the Raw Women's Multi and really liked it (One capsule & I was set!) With these, you must take 3 a day. I have been able to take these on an empty stomach consistently. It seems that my body absorbs the vitamins quite well since they don't cause gas, stomach aches, or nausea. Some reviews comment on the smell of the vitamins. I have not noticed the unpleasant smell; but, I try not to take a whiff of any vitamin since they all pretty much smell. If you are unfortunate enough to have one stick to your tongue, the flavor is not the best - yet not horrible. Still, it is hardly the taste -yack- that you get from conventional vitamins. (You all have surely been there!) The good news is, the taste does not linger at all. If you're that concerned, add a lot of lemon to your water; or take it with just enough juice to get them down and follow with the recommended 8 oz of water. I can't comment on the hair & nails as I really don't pay that much attention. Unless they can turn my gray hairs back to their original color, I don't notice. And I keep my nails short - so, there you have it! These really are superb vitamins. I always highly recommend this brand.

I absolutely loved this prenatal vitamin. It was easy on the stomach and I loved mixing it into my green smoothie in the morning. As a breastfeeding mama I also used it during postpartum and it is helping keep up my energy!

I would like a refund.

I take the raw with the prenatal DHA The raw do have a strong smell but I open the capsules and put them into my smoothie so I don’t taste them and I’m not taking the capsule part either!! I feel relatively good and other prenatal shave made me feel very nauseous and these don’t do that for me! I’m happy I purchased them

Have done a fair amount of research and this product consistently comes up as a recommended supplement for pregnant women. My wife has been taking this supplement throughout her entire pregnancy. The pills have been fairly easy to swallow and she hasn't reported any problems ingesting it.

This is the 2nd bottle i ave bought. A natural supplement for pregnancy with no synthetic ingredients. Fantastic product.
