Ready to unlock that muscle memory of all the shots you took in college?

This liquid multi is designed for pregnancy and postpartum and might be a little bit easier to take if you despise pills. It contains everything Kaidanian and Phelps identified as important for a postnatal vite — except DHA.

However, some reviewers say that it’s got a pretty thick consistency and the smell is a little off-putting. But nobody’s takin’ this stuff for the taste, right?

Pros
  • contains several key nutrients
  • liquid form
  • non-GMO, vegan, major allergen-free
  • manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility
Cons
  • thick consistency
  • no DHA
  • not third-party tested

Best low cost postnatal vitamin

NatureMade Postnatal Multivitamin + 200 mg DHA Softgels

  • Price: $
  • Key ingredients: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, DHA
  • Type: softgel
  • Dosage: 1 softgel daily
  • Certifications: USP-verified, GMP-certified

Need a solid postnatal without breaking the bank? These from NatureMade are USP-verified, contain DHA, and require only 1 pill per day.

However, some of the nutrient forms aren’t as optimal as they could be, so you may not absorb some of the nutrients as well as you would from other supplements, like the FullWell prenatal. Some reviewers also say that they taste really fishy, thanks to the fish oil in the capsule (which provides the DHA).

Pros
  • third-party tested and USP-verified
  • contains DHA
  • gluten-free
  • manufactured in a GMP-certified facility
Cons
  • no choline or selenium
  • contains sub-optimal vitamin forms
  • contains some additives
