Vitamins

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm just curious what vitamins everyone is taking. I've been on VitaFusion gummy prenatal vitamins since we started trying about 11 months ago, so I'm hoping I can continue with this - are there certain things I should verify that it includes?

Which ones do you guys take?

TIA!

  • I take the gummies too! And I have no intention to switch. Eventually may have to take some iron though.
  • I don't know that the brand matters as much as the content.  Make sure what ever you are using has both Folic Acid and DHA.  Not all prenatals have DHA in them.  If yours doesn't you may want to pick up a bottle to supplement with. I personally use the One-A-Day prenatal combo...I like it but it's a little pricey, about $15 for a month supply.

  • I take Naturemade with DHA. They sell it at Costco for super cheap in a large bottle (of course!).

  • I take Rainbow Light and cod liver oil. I like the Rainbow Light ones because they don't upset my stomach, and have good forms of the vitamins, like Vitamin A from beta carotene instead of retynil (sp?). The cod liver oil is a non-synthetic source of DHA and EPA.

    Amazon is a great place to get vitamins for less money. Vitacost.com too.
