Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal (30 Vegetarian Capsules), 1 Units

The reason I’m giving this a bad review is because of two major things that are wrong with this supplement . First of all it has a massive amount of vitamin A which is exquisitely harmful for pregnant women and can cause birth defects. It also has an overdose amount of folate which research shows can lead to autism. You should not take more than 400 mcg a day of folate because folate is very easy to naturally get through your everyday diet (even if you’re not extremely healthy, folate is in a lot of things) . Please do your research and remember some of these companies pay people to leave reviews . The ingredients should be changed and morally this shouldn’t be sold to pregnant women and at a high price disgusting it as great quality when really it’s a major overdose .I never leave bad reviews but this genuinely upset me because I’ve been taking this for the first 7 weeks of my pregnancy and I’m not so nervous that this has caused harm to my baby. Doctor has warned against it so I am throwing this out .

These supplements are great, they contain all the vitamins you need to help prepare and support a healthy vitamin. A lot of other reviews have commented that Drs are unsure of them, I think that is more to do with their lack of specialised nutrition training.Its import to take Folate, rather than Folic acid as its easier to absorb and if you you have the MTHFR your body cant make the enzyme to breakdown Folic acid in to Folate. This leaves you at a higher risk of miscarriage and other complications.The other Vitamin the worries health professionals is the Vitamin A. There are 2 different forms, the provitamin and preformed. Beta Carotene which is in this supplement, is safe.'Unlike preformed vitamin A, beta-carotene is not known to be teratogenic or lead to reproductive toxicity [1]. And even large supplemental doses (20–30 mg/day) of beta-carotene or diets with high levels of carotenoid-rich food for long periods are not associated with toxicity. The most significant effect of long-term, excess beta-carotene is carotenodermia, a harmless condition in which the skin becomes yellow-orange [1,25]. This condition can be reversed by discontinuing beta-carotene ingestion.' 1.1.Johnson EJ, Russell RM. Beta-Carotene. In: Coates PM, Betz JM, Blackman MR, et al., eds.

Love these, finishing my second bottle in the pregnancy. I am convinced of benefits over the conventional lab derived vitamins and this is sufficient for me to re purchase. Read the ingtidients list and you'll understand! Too bad UK does not produce anything like this! The taste or smell can be a bit displeasing especially in the 1st trimester, but I swallow with water and juice - imagine this is medicine that is good for you, in any case its not bad as some reviews here describe it!

I took 2 tablets a day in my second trimester and didn't feel any difference (but I felt good). I stopped taking it because I thought I don't need it and also my baby measured big (not sure, if there is any real connection). Now I am at the end of third trimester and I felt very tired last 3 weeks. I had some blood tests that showed I am iron deficcient. So I started to use 2 tablets again and after 3 days I felt incredible improvement in my energy level! So I am now 38weeks pregnant, but I am able to work all day around our house, go for long walks etc... So very happy with the result.I am giving 4 stars only because I think that there is too much of folic acid , vegans usually have a lot in their diet and having too much is not good.

Amazon delivery the most amazing compared to eBay or other services eBay sucks!!!! anyway they were very accurate with the notifications theyd provide me and the delivery was only 4 minutes walk from my house to pick up at the nearest local groceries which i find super usefull! I tried the product bit pricey dont know yet about the quality seems good I'll leave a review when I finish IT!

My wife took these throughout her pregnancy and we had a beautiful little healthy baby. The top most reason to purchase this is because of its wide range of vitamins and minerals coverage along with organic sources. Also it is important to take in folate and not a synthetic chemical like folic acid. So overall this was fantastic although a bit pricey. My wife is taking them even after birth as the baby is exclusively breast-fed. Also my wife didn't feel sick throughout her pregnancy possibly due to ginger blend that is included in this.

It's been good for me. Yes constipation issues with this prenatal but i just need to go hard on my greens and im good. Also easy on the tummy unlike pregnacare, you can have this on an empty stomach and not feel sick.

I had been feeling really out of balance in my third trimester, I was recommended these and within a week I could already feel the difference.Easy to take, no smell (as others have commented) and love the range of ingredients in them.
