Pink StorkTotal Prenatal Vitamins with DHA, Folate, Iron, Choline, and Vitamin B12 - Prenatals for Women to Support Fetal Development, Pregnancy Must Haves, Berry Essence, 60 Capsules, 1 Month Supply

My first pregnancy I took normal prenatals that my ob prescribed, but with this last pregnancy I had these everyday and I’m still taking them everyday pp because I’m breast feeding and I feel so much better this go around (mentally). These have methylated folate, which is important if you’re missing the mthfr gene, most people don’t know if they are or not and in order to know you have to request to be tested, but folate is very important while pregnant so if you are missing it or have a variant you might not be absorbing folate.If you’ve dealt with prenatal/postnatal depression or mental health issues with past pregnancies, these might be worth a shot! They helped me!

So far I am very happy with these prenatals. It has everything in it I was looking for and the pills are easy to swallow. I struggle with swallowing big pills so struggled to find a prenatal I could tolerate, but these go down really easy with juice. They also don’t stink or taste bad. I got the berry scented ones and they smell as advertised. I’m not pregnant yet and am just taking these in advance of trying, but after weeks of researching to find the perfect prenatal vitamin, I don’t think I could have found a better option. I recommend 10/10.

I chose this prenatal because of its clean ingredients, and I have been blown away by the quality of the product! The berry scent is very tasteful, not in any way artificial, and all of the ingredients are well-sourced. I also appreciate the woman-centered, Christian values of this brand—it’s an added bonus! On top of all of this, I am seeing improvements in my hair, skin, and nails, and I can tell that my body is being nourished by this product!

I recently switched to this prenatal because of the ingredients, and I will continue to take it, however it tastes/smells terrible. It is honestly the worst smelling supplement I have ever taken (and I take wild fish eggs for omegas). I honestly would not have been able to keep this down during my first trimester when I was dealing with nausea/evening sickness daily... so if you are currently very sensitive to smells like I was early on, that is important to consider! However, I am able to keep them down with no issues as long as I have a "chaser" (flavored electrolytes or a piece of fruit suffice). And overall, I do find the supplemental content worth it and feel glad to support a brand like this one.

Long overdue review. Purchased again! First thing I love is that it has methyl-folate, dha and iron, as well as 100% of the daily value for other great vitamins.These prenatals don’t make me feel nauseous at all! No weird aftertaste, no uncomfortable fishy burps either. So they’re easy to keep down.I agree that they can be a bit smelly, but scent is really not that bad. Honestly, what I really care about is that they don’t make me nauseous after taking them.Thank you pink stork for having such a great product priced reasonably! 5 stars!

I purchased and began taking this product preemptively because my husband and I plan to try to conceive in a few months (My doctor, like many doctors, recommends beginning to take prenatals before you try to conceive). However, taking this product caused me to have irregular menstrual cycles, as well as many other negative symptoms and side effects. I do NOT recommend this product for that reason. If you decide to try this product out before you try to conceive and begin to experience the same symptoms I did, I recommend stopping immediately - your symptoms are likely to get worse, not better, the longer you continue taking it. I've shared my story below in case it's helpful to anyone who may be experiencing similar symptoms and wondering if this product is the cause.As background information, my cycles always have been extremely regular. After I began taking this product, however, my cycles were instantly thrown off and I'm still trying to recover over six weeks later.Here's the timeline of events:Cycle 1-I received the product and began a half dose (one pill) once a day (I figured a half dose would be fine, and I could up the dose closer to conception/pregnancy). I began taking the product about a week into my cycle.-On day 2 of starting the product, I began to have odd symptoms - feeling hot, jittery, extremely hungry, and generally off; On day 4, I ovulated 2-3 days earlier than I usually do (confirmed by OPK strip); on Day 5, the above symptoms had increased, and I also had an itchy neck (presumably thyroid-related due to location).-I decided to switch to taking one pill every other day, but by that time I already ovulated early (confirmed by OPK strip); my period also came 2-3 days early that cycle as well. I also started to get massive acne breakouts towards the end of my cycle, which is unusual for me.Cycle 2-I continued to take the product every other day for about a week into my next cycle (still just one pill, so a half dose every other day). My symptoms, while not as bad as they were during the stretch when I took the product for five days straight, were still present and still negatively impacting my quality of life. I decided to discontinue use.-After discontinuing use, I ovulated 8 days later than I normally do (two weeks after discontinuing the product completely). My acne breakouts cleared up over the course of two weeks. My appetite issues and jitteriness went away within a few days of discontinuing the product.-As of now (Day 31 of my cycle when I normally have very regular 28 day cycles), I am still waiting for my period to come, and expect it to be (very) late as well, since I ovulated very late.As you can see, this product had a very negative affect on me, which is especially concerning given that I only took a half dose, and quickly switched to a half dose every other day for the month or so that I took it. Nothing else about my life or lifestyle changed during this period of time, so this product was 100% the cause of my symptoms.To be honest, I don't know for certain why my body reacted this way to this product. However, I have seen other reviewers comment that this caused irregular cycles for them as well, so I know I'm not the only one this happened to. I do have one theory, however, because I've taken all the vitamins contained in this product before with no issues except one: Iodine. I have not taken supplemental iodine prior to taking this product, so I have to assume that's the source of the issue. The fact that I had an itchy neck (since the thyroid is affected by iodine intake) further supports this theory, as does the fact that reproductive hormones are impacted by changes to thyroid hormones.I am not an expert in this area, but it appears there is a high dose of iodine in this product (290mcg); this meets or exceeds the RDA of iodine for pregnant women (220-250mcg) and lactating women (250mcg-290mcg), and given that we already get some iodine from food, would likely put anyone consuming it above the RDA. (All figures from the American Thyroid Association). I only ever took a half dose, which would be 145mcg; the RDA for non-pregnant adults is 150mcg a day. Lastly, I have seen conflicting evidence on the tolerable upper limit, but 1,100mcg of iodine seems to be a commonly quoted number.I don't have enough information to say definitively why taking in 145mcg of extra iodine affected me so much, but I do believe this was what caused my symptoms. I do not know how this extra iodine would affect me during pregnancy, so I plan to purchase different prenatals with lower amounts of iodine and playing it by ear.

I LOVED these with my first pregnancy in 2023. They have since changed them and they taste / smell disgusting. Bring back the old formula! The ingredients are clean and I want to take these for my next pregnancy

I'm a big fan of Pink Stork and have been consistently impressed with their products. After trying their Total Glow Gummies and loving the results, I decided to give their prenatal supplement a try, and it did not disappoint.The quality is top-notch, the ingredients are clean, and it’s been very easy on my system compared to other supplements I’ve tried. I appreciate how intentional and trustworthy this brand is when it comes to wellness and overall health support.Pink Stork has definitely earned a spot in my daily routine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable supplement from a brand that really cares.
