TheraNatal Complete Supplement

taking three pills a day felt like a lot at first, it’s absolutely worth it for how complete the formula is. TheraNatal is designed based on current research and what OBs actually recommend, which gives me a lot of confidence in what I’m putting into my body. One thing I really appreciate is that it includes active folate (Quatrefolic) instead of synthetic folic acid, which is better absorbed especially for women with MTHFR gene variants. It also has the full recommended daily dose of DHA and EPA omega-3s, which are super important for baby’s brain and eye development. I’ll be honest, you might get a little bit of that fishy burp, but it’s not too bad and kind of expected with fish oil supplements. I’ve recommended this to several of my pregnant friends and they all really like it too. It just feels good knowing you're getting everything you need in one go without having to buy a bunch of separate vitamins.

I use these prenatals for my entire pregnancy. I had to buy them three separate times and even use them postpartum. They have almost all the recommended vitamins you will need for your pregnancy. They do have a strong taste taste to them and what works best for me is to take them at night that way any nausea I had was subside due to having to sleep at night. I will recommend you that if you have a hard time with swallowing pills you should most definitely buy a pill crusher because they are a little bit thick.

This was highly recommended when I did a search for "the best" prenatal vitamins to take, and have just about finished up with the third month of taking them and ready to order again. In comparison with other vitamins, the amount is way lower, they aren't too big and contain all of the essentials needed for my pregnancy so I won't have to go searching for other vitamins to take in addition to these. Can't complain there! There's no taste, however I get the fishy burps about 15 min after taking them. I guess it can't be helped. I do experience very slight nausea 30 min to an hour after taking them too but it's tolerable. I read people have complained about mold on their pills... I keep mine in a plastic baggy sealed up WITH the dry packet that it comes with so I haven't experienced that. All in all, they're pills. Not thrilled to take them but no one usually is. Therefore, I'll give a thumbs up!

This was recommended from my best friend! No side affects and when I told my doctor I was using it, she said “that’s a great product” I feel great about my decision.

I think this is a great prenatal vitamin pack. After taking them for 3 months, I got a full blood work and all the components of these vitamins had good results. I try to take them after eating a meal, and so far they have not caused or increased any nausea symptoms. I saw some comments mentioning that one of the pills might change their color or start showing some black dots, but I did not encounter that issue, and after reassuring comments and the further details given by the brand, I think I would not have mind either. I am up to my last batch and as you can see in the picture, there's nothing odd about them. I have asked my OBGYN and the nurses I have seen during my pregnancy about these vitamins (I literally cut the component table on the box and brought it with me to my check-ups) and they all have given the all-clear. Which is reassuring because after hearing about prenatals that don't work, or that have class actions against, I just wanted to make sure I am making the right call.

These tablets are MASSIVE. I don’t have a sensitive gag reflex, but every time I take these, even between bites while eating to try to trick my reflex into not gagging, I still gag and choke on them. They are the epitome of the proverbial “horse pill.” If they were half the size they are, they would be much easier to swallow. Also the packaging is incredibly difficult and frustrating to open; when trying to peel off the paper and foil cover, it gets stuck firmly at the second pill and WILL NOT peel the rest of the way off, so I have to use a knife to puncture the foil and accidentally punctured the fish oil supplement once while trying to do this. These supplements contributed to my nausea in general. For anyone struggling with morning sickness, these will make it worse. If the company could improve these 2 things (size of the tablets and packaging difficulties) it’s a quality prenatal. Just extremely difficult to open and swallow so I stopped using it and switched to another brand.

I took these 3 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child and I was looking for a vitamin that had everything I needed. My daughter was born healthy and I was healthy during my pregnancy as well. I also used these postpartum and I breastfed my daughter for a full year and a few months. I do believe these played a role in helping me stay healthy postpartum as well. My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because, I had two incidents where I ordered these prenatals and it appeared that I received an old product. Once from Amazon and the other time from the manufacturer directly. Having taken these for 2 years - I knew what they should taste like and the older pills usually had a very strong and unpleasant odor and taste. So I’m taking a point off for consistency. I expect my vitamins to be consistently fresh, especially at this price point.

I don't know if less stars is really fair because I may just be sensitive, but these were a waste of money for me because they gave me headaches and I just generally did not feel well after taking them. I subconsciously put off taking my pills so much that it reflected in my next routine bloodwork. I had to give in and buy something else to get my levels back up, even though I have almost all of these left. So may be fine for some people but if have issues like this with vitamins, I'd stay away from these.
