Vitamin Talk!

I just wanted to let you all know how much I love my prenatal vitamin and why...

I'm taking a perscription vitamin because I'm too much of a baby to swallow those big suckers.  My vitamin is a two-pack that I take every morning and the best part is it has a stool softener!  I know some of you are suffering from constipation and I haven't had an issue at all... so I totally recommend it: Citra Natal.

What vitamin are you taking?  Do you like it or no?

Re: Vitamin Talk!

  • I was taking an OTC prenatal. At my appointment yesterday though, I received a sample of Nexa Select. I don't really know much about it but I am trying it out and then I'm going by the drugstore to see how much it will cost.

    The box says:

    A once daily, single capsule Rx prenatal vitamin available with the most plant-based DHA with folic acid. 

    Includes key vitamins and minerals- with 1.25 mg folic acid

    Plant based DHA for baby's brain and eye development

    No fish oil, no mercury

    Gentle stool softener for added comfort.

  • I take the Whole Foods brand prenatal.  My chiropractor said WF vitamins are a great balance of what you need.  I also take a flax seed oil pill for omegas and DHA.

  • I take ones from Whole Foods too... Rainbow Lite brand that are gentle on the stomach.  They were gentle until last week, and I've moved them back to bedtime instead of taking them with lunch.  Seems to help a bit.

  • I'm taking the One a Day with DHA. We'll see what my Dr. will say next week.

    ETA: I haven't had any problem with them. I usually take them around dinner time.
