Has anyone here tried Needed Brand prenatals before? I’m on the lookout for a gentle-on-the-stomach prenatal that doesn’t contain iron. Iron tends to upset my stomach, so I’m hoping to find a good alternative. Any insights or experiences with Needed Brand prenatals would be greatly appreciated!
I tried taking these supplements for a month but couldn’t continue. The serving size of 8 pills was too much for me and the taste was unbearable. I switched to Theralogix and haven’t experienced any stomach issues!
The taste and smell of these pills are just terrible. I’ve been taking them for a few months, but the most recent bottles have been especially bad.
Nature Made is my favorite brand. They offer a package that includes a choline bottle as well.
I’ve had good results with Best Nest Wellness iodine & iron free without any stomach issues. They offer a women’s version and a prenatal one as well. I prefer the women’s version and add a separate folic acid supplement since they are similar.
I tried taking these for a month but I couldn’t continue. The recommended serving size is 8 pills and it was too overwhelming for me, not to mention the terrible taste. I switched to Theralogix and have had no stomach problems at all.
These taste awful, I used to prefer ritual but can’t recall if they contain iron.
The taste and smell of them were absolutely terrible. I used them for a few months but the last few bottles I received were just awful.
I haven’t tested Needed yet, but among drugstore brands in the US, I enjoy both Vitafusion and Olly prenatal gummies. Iron is not present in either of these brands.
I have to take a separate iron supplement since most gummies don’t contain iron. But personally, I find gummies gentler on my stomach.
Nature Made is great, I really enjoy their products. They offer a box with a bottle of choline included.
Best Nest Wellness iodine & iron free has been working well for me. I use the women’s version and add a separate folic acid supplement.
I had to take the necessary powder for a while and found it challenging - the taste was awful.
I incorporate ritual into my routine and there is no unpleasant aftertaste.
I have been taking Olly gummies and then incorporating iron separately. I have found that taking half a pill daily instead of a whole one works well for me, with no negative side effects.
