The 8 Best Prenatal Vitamins




Best prenatal vitamin with DHA

NatureMade Prenatal Multi+DHA

  • Price: $
  • Type: softgel
  • Count: 90
  • Dose: 1 softgel
  • Certifications: USP-verified, GMP-certified
  • Nutrients: vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (biotin), B12 (cyanocobalamin), C, D, E, K, calcium, folate (folic acid), iodine, iron, magnesium, omega-3 (DHA and EPA), zinc

USP, short for United States Pharmacopeia, is a third-party certification org that grants its seal of approval to brands that meet its strict quality standards. These prenatals are USP-verified, AND they’re extremely inexpensive — one of the least expensive options on this list. Double-win!

This softgel also contains DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), another important omega-3 fatty acid. That’s right — 1 capsule and you can cross off tons of essential nutrients.

One thing to note, though, is that this supplement doesn’t include the most bioavailable version of certain nutrients, like vitamin B12. It also contains a form of iron (ferrous fumarate) that is more likely to cause GI issues like constipation. But still, if you’re pinching pennies, this is an amazing option.

Pros
  • contains DHA and EPA omega-3 fatty acids
  • third-party tested, USP verified, and manufactured in a GMP-certified facility
  • inexpensive
  • gluten-free
Cons
  • some nutrient forms aren’t as bioavailable
  • no choline

 

Best gummy prenatal vitamin (and organic!)

Garden of Life mykind Organics Prenatal Multi Organic Fruit + Vitamin Chews

  • Price: $$
  • Type: gummy
  • Count: 120
  • Dose: 4 gummies
  • Certifications: GMP-compliant, certified organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher
  • Nutrients: vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (biotin), B12 (methylcobalamin), C, D, E, K, chromium, folate, manganese, selenium, zinc

Prefer gummies? These gummies are immaculately sourced with organic whole-food ingredients and the equivalent of nine whole fruits in each bottle. However, a full dose is 4 gummies — which may get old after 9 months, but could be more than worth it if you have a difficult time with giant prenatal pills.

It also contains folate, which isn’t as bioavailable as folic acid or L-5-MTHF. But folate is the form found in whole foods like vegetables, so it makes sense that this whole-food gummy features it.

Reviewers love these gummies too, and say that the taste is great. But be careful with shipping: Like any gummy, they may melt if shipped in hot weather.

Pros
  • sourced from whole foods
  • tasty and convenient gummy
  • third-party tested and manufactured a GMP-compliant facility
  • certified organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, kosher
  • dairy-free, soy-free
Cons
  • no choline or DHA
  • contains folate, which isn’t as bioavailable as folic acid or L-5-MTHF
