Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal - Supplement with Vitamin B12, L-Methylfolate, & Choline - Vegetarian Supplement to Support Optimal Prenatal Health - 240 Capsules

Update: I have continued to take these prenatals postpartum and for another healthy pregnancy! Now I see the label has been modified to state that it is for "healthy fertility, conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding." I have to agree that these seem to be overall great for women during their fertile years. I love these prenatals and I likely won't use any other prenatal for the rest of this season in my life. Not all prenatals are created equal. Personally I believe that quality supplements like this and others are essential. I have been using these for 3 (healthy) pregnancies and initially purchased them because they were recommended by the author of the book of "Real Food for Pregnancy". I appreciate that they contain Methylfolate and are high potency. They are pricey but when comparing them to other prenatal vitamins, they seem to contain much more. I tried other prenatal vitamins for a little while but stuck with these because I felt that I was getting what I was paying for. There are several (8) to take in a day but I noticed that spacing them out during the day (2 - 3 at a time) actually helped me with morning sickness (combined with eating adequate protein). I think that this is because of the Vitamin B6, which I have also seen in other morning sickness products. I didn't notice an increase in energy. Also of note is the fact that they do not contain iron. Personally I do not need iron in a prenatal but I did take other supplements; magnesium/calcium, probiotics and fish oil, etc., in addition to this prenatal. This remains a very solid base prenatal/post-natal supplement for me. If God blesses us with more children I will definitely use these again, as babies and I are all healthy. Granted health is much more than just supplements, but I wouldn't want to use another prenatal if it's working for me. One tip would be to not store these in another pill case for very long. They may develop discoloration (that could possibly be mold?) without the moisture absorber that is included in the bottle. Just a note also that it is not an expiry date on the bottom of the bottle, but rather the date that they were manufactured. These have always seemed very fresh to me.

These were the only prenatal vitamins I could stomach when pregnant. I tried other brands but this one seemed the best. I was able to keep them down and felt great on them. I’m also using them postpartum and feel great with them!

This is the best prenatal! It’s sucks eating 8 pills but the nutrients are optimal and bioavailable. I’ve used with the all of my pregnancies. I have 2 beautiful small kids and one on the way. I don’t always eat the best because of nausea/cravings/aversions so this is a good supplement for those moments. I’ve had 3 pregnancies and my nausea with these is rare. I was never one of those people who got sick all the time and clutched the toilet all day. I believe these were the reason. I noticed on days I didn’t take them that I was more tired and nauseous. Your pee will look neon and I wouldn’t take these within 5-6 hours of sleeping. I feel like when I take them too close to sleep they will keep me up all night. Will buy all through my breastfeeding journey again.

No digestive discomfort and I've been taking them for about 2 years now. I set them on the table, so I don't forget to take them at each meal. The mental insurance that I can eat sub-par some days and still give my baby everything he needs is priceless. This methylated prenatal is definitely more than others but I think, for the quality, it's worth it!

I started taking these because I've been having trouble getting pregnant again (I'm 36). And while it's only been a month on these and no pregnancy yet, the positive impact these have had on my body is night and day! I had been exhausted for the past year: I was low energy, had frequent brain fog and forgetfulness, and I struggled in the evenings to have energy for my kids. I was already on Vitamin D, CoQ10, and fish oil. But when I started taking these, all that changed. I now feel energetic again, able to take on home projects and be active with my kids. My brain fog is nearly gone. I didn't realize I was so nutrient deficient! I've been on other prenatals that did not impact me so positively. My one reservation is that you have to take 8 of these daily. Even not pregnant, that's a lot to swallow. I take them all at once an hour or two before bedtime because otherwise I'll forget throughout the day. It doesn't impact my sleep negatively at all - it's just mildly annoying to swallow. However, a friend of mine who recommended these said to get the amount of nutrients we need while also using real ingredients, we're going to have to take a higher volume of pills than if they were synthetic since the real ingredients just have more mass than the synthetic. Overall, taking 8 pills daily is worth it considering the huge impact it has had on my energy levels and likely other areas of my health.

The quantity that needs to be taken is overwhelming. I take this for the MTHFR mutation. On the bottle it says take in separate doses more of an indicator to take it in eight doses which 1 pill at a time. Though on the amazon page it states take three in the morning, two in afternoon and three in evening but not five hours before bed. The taste of these is absolutely wretched. I don't think I can even continue to take these anymore that is how bad the smell and combined taste is. For the high price tag this product is not something I can recommend nor continue to buy. Bad taste, bad smell, large quantity. I had to update that I tried to continue taking these as they are absolutely perfect for mthfr and the bioconverted vitamins. I just cant stomach them. Just the smell makes me want to be sick. I'm not sure how anyone can ignore the smell or taste. I wanted to love these and what I feel is far from it. Sadly for close to $60 a bottle I have so many left. I decided that the batch I took would be the last ones I have to take as I ordered Emerald Labs which is good for MTHFR. IF LESS THAN A STAR WAS AVAILABLE I WOULD RATE THIS A ZERO. this is truly how much I despise these vitamins.
