Zahler Prenatal DHA, Premium Prenatal Multivitamin supplement for Mother and Child, Prenatal with DHA supports brain development in babies, Certified Kosher (60 Count)

I was looking for this product in India for my wife and finally found a genuine product. Excellent product which is recently imported. Product arrived in good packaging and thanks to Amazon for fast delivery.

Good product

Everything about this product is perfect.It's so perfect, I'm confused how it is possible. All of the ingredients are in therapeutic doses and was picked with a purpose. Not only are some of them effective on their own but some are even more effective in conjunction with eachother. I looked sevral other prenatal supplements but there was always at least one thing missing for what I needed. How did they put it all in one?When I take it with food it's suspiciously pleasant on my stomach and even though it has iron and other metals in it I haven't had constipation or any change in color in stool. Like, it feels satisfying on my stomach to have eaten this. It is very weird.The foil packaging makes it easy to tell when you've taken one and when you've forgotten. When it arrived one of the capsules had burst open though. The capsules are kinda smelly but they're easy to swallow. I like that they aren't translucent and you can't see the oil. I think the minerals and vitamins are in the capsule lining?Additionally this is a premium multivitamin but it's super affordable- Perhaps too affordable? I've seen brands with less ingredients charging double, and as much as I love saving money I question where are the corners being cut.I don't know what to think about this product because it is so weird, but I'm gonna give it a try for 3 months and see how it affects my labs. I am iron deficient, D deficient, B deficient, anemic, low in HDL, and diabetic and this single multivitamin addresses all of that.It would be a lot better if I had some peace of mind in credibility.

This is my first pregnancy, so I am still learning. I recently decided to switch from Nature Made Prenatal with DHA to Zahler Prenatal +DHA a few weeks ago after a blood test revealed mild anemia during my second trimester. I learned about Zahler from the Pregnancy Podcast and heard that the type of iron used is more bioavailable and easier on the tummy. Also, I thought Nature Made had folic acid vs. folate, but that turned out to not be the case (oops)— another reason to switch to Zahler. I’ve only been taking them for a couple of weeks and while my energy is back, it’s hard to say if it’s from the switch or from the iron supplements that my midwife also recommended I take.My biggest complaint about the switch is the fishy taste and smell of the pills, but I’ve learned to avoid it by putting juice in my mouth before the pill rather than pill first then water. Also, I kind of wish they were in a bottle rather than a pill pack to reduce waste, but maybe due to the 30 or 60 day amount it’s more eco-friendly to use the pill packs. It does keep them fresh, I suppose. Although, I put my vitamins in a day-of-the-week pill container to avoid overdosing and have to cut up the pill packs so that they’ll fit. Sure, I could pop the pills out, but I’d rather keep that fishy smell/taste separated from my other supplements. Oh, and some of the capsules were broken upon arrival, which is a bit of a bummer because of the cost. The pill packs kept the liquid from getting all over the other pills, so a plus for pill packs.Otherwise, I haven’t experienced any weird side effects and I’m glad the formula that included sorbitol from previous amazon reviews has been removed. I appreciate the higher quality of vitamin and mineral sources as well as the vegetarian-friendly effort. All in all, I intend to continue using through my third trimester and so on, and will likely use again if we have a second child.UPDATE: This is my third (or fourth— pregnancy brain ugh) box and there are at least five broken capsules. My previous boxes also had several broken capsules. I was hoping to continue taking these while breast feeding, etc, but the gross taste combined with the wasted capsules is making me rethink continuing to buy this brand unless the company changes the outside coating to something stronger. Very disappointing because I enjoy the quality ingredients.SECOND UPDATE 5/4/2020They went back to their previous formula a few months ago, so I went from three stars to five because: The pills no longer leak. They no longer taste super fishy. The company listened to their customers issues and fixed the problem. I’d feel good about recommending these to others.

When my husband and I found out that we were expecting twins, we were floored to say the least! With my first pregnancy, I took prenatal pills from another brand that worked fine.. but having multiples is an ENTIRELY different ball game. I knew I had to find premium prenatal pills that were not only high quality, but had enough folate/folic acid in them to support the growth of two babies (recommended 1,000 mcg). Also, it was extremely important to me that the pills also contained DHA which is crucial in the development of both babies' brain, eyes, and nervous system. I scoured the web for prenatal pills that fit the bill but didn't find anything until I stumbled upon Zahler Prenatal + DHA. This was the only brand that had enough folate/folic acid in it where I didn't need to take another pill specifically for that purpose.One additional thing that stood out about these pills was that they contained Chromium Picolinate, which helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels within the body. I don't think I've seen this with other pills before. This is extremely helpful for some women who're more prone to developing gestational diabetes during their pregnancy as this can lead to further complications during development and after birth for both baby and mother: excessive birth weight (complications with delivery), early/preterm birth, respiratory issues, hypoglycemia, Type 2 diabetes later in life (baby), and pre-eclampsia and diabetes later in life (mother). All of this sounds so scary and having some Chromium Picolinate in the pills offers us some peace of mind.Also, these pills don't make me feel sick after taking them which is a major plus! I know of several people who've taken other brands and have complained about feeling sick. Not with these!Lastly, I've noticed that my skin has cleared up as I tend to suffer from adult hormonal acne breakouts every month or so. Since taking these pills, I haven't had a large one and I've noticed that my skin just looks much better!If you're on the market for prenatal pills - whether or not you need as much folate as I do - these pills are working wonderfully for me and I've been taking them for almost three months now. I just bought a 3 month pack to take advantage of the small discount when buying in bulk since I plan to take these for my entire twin pregnancy. They're that great!

LOVE THESE! The best part about them is they are KOSHER!! I have tried so many prenatal vitamins and they’ve all given me horrible side effects (e.g. insomnia, headaches, stomach aches, vomiting, etc). These vitamins are the only ones that give me no adverse reactions. I was never able to keep any prenatal vitamins down so it was always so stressful that I was not able to give my baby the essential nutrients. I have been taking these for a few months and all I can say is AMAZING PRODUCT! I will continue to use this product throughout my entire pregnancy. Easy to swallow, NO after-taste, and no side-effects. Thank you ZAHLER company!!

Update Sept. 2020:-the formula changed and is no longer vegan (contains beeswax). I’m not vegan, so I didn’t mind this switch. Not sure if this was the cause, but the quality of the pills is MUCH higher. I used to receive several leaking pills per box and this box was 100% fine. Also MUCH less smelly. Huge improvement! The only con is that I’ve had a few boxes ship late despite being subscribed. Seems they may have some production consistency issues, but I’d much rather take the good ingredients and quality over something cheaper.—————I’ve taken these for over a year now and they’re my favorite in terms of ingredients and pill size. Tons of nutrients, great quality and quantity folate, and DHA all in two pills per day. I take them at bedtime and have never experienced any nausea.Cons:-they’re smelly. Most good prenatals I’ve tried have been. I used to take Rainbow Lite prenatal minis, which smelled much better, but they don’t contain DHA and you need to take three per day. I’ll put up with the smell if it means only taking two pills total.-packaging: over the past year packaging quality seems to have decreased. Several pills per box arrive leaking a little fluid, making the package smell even worse and taking those specific pills messy. Once you touch any leaking liquid, that smell is on your hands for good. For the high price compared to many other prenatals, I’d expect a leak-free delivery. They’re too expensive to just toss leaking pills.
