The Posts with the Most: The 8 Best Postnatal Vitamins of 2022

Best postnatal vitamin if you’re not breastfeeding

New Chapter Perfect Postnatal

Price: $$
Key ingredients: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, selenium
Type: tablet
Dosage: 3 tablets per day
Certifications: GMP-compliant; certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and kosher

It’s actually kinda hard to find a 100 percent organic prenatal/postnatal vitamin, especially one that’s more moderately priced. But this one from New Chapter is made from organic veggies and herbs, and contains fermented nutrients that are easy on the stomach. The added herbs — like lavender, turmeric, and lemon balm — may be mood-supportive and may help you with recovering from the stress of birth.

Reviewers rave about these vitamins, too, and you can pair them with New Chapter’s Wholemega for Moms fish oil to get your daily dose of DHA. Unfortunately, though, this postnatal doesn’t contain any choline.

Pros

moderately priced
fermented nutrients
certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher
vegetarian
third-party tested
manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility

Cons

no choline, no DHA

Best gummy postnatal vitamin

Hello Bello Prenatal + DHA

Price: $
Key ingredients: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, choline, DHA
Type: gummy

Certifications: third-party tested, GMP-compliant

Not a pill person? We feel you. Hello Bello (yes, the diaper subscription people) now offer a prenatal gummy vitamin that’s perfect for postpartum — and you can add it right to your diaper order! Talk about one-stop shopping.

Note, though, that a serving of these gummies contains 5 grams of sugar — so if you’re doing keto or other lower sugar diets, it might not work for you. These gummies also don’t contain very much choline — just 2 percent of the Daily Value (DV).
