For a few weeks I took nature made Prenatal Multi + DHA. They made me SO sick all the time. Not to mention the taste and size really triggered my gag reflex. I recently switched to Vitafusion prenatal gummies and have had no issues.
@deux how do you check if it's food based rather than synthetic?
If it doesn't specify, it's probably synthetic. If it's food-based, it will be on the label. New Chapter and (I think) Rainbow Light are food based. They're more expensive, but you probably aren't utilizing the synthetic vitamins well anyway. Most vitamins give you one thing - expensive pee!
I take a French one...Grosselle and my mom sent me some gummies from the US, but I haven't taken them yet. I have no problems with Grosselle, it's what my doctor recommended, but I'm sure it's not available in the US.
I also take an iron (I'm anemic) and folic acid supplement.
