   These vitamins have extra supplements included that are herbal extracts, and such to make these vitamins better for you. Unfortunately you have to take 3 pills a day. It may be a little hard to remember and cumbersome to have the pills with you all day.

   These pills are rather expensive and are not covered by insurance whereas a prescripton prenatal would be. They’re large pills and taste horrible going down. The ingredients do not list how much of the herbs are included so you have no idea how much lemon grass, sprouts, cloves, probiotics, etc. you’re getting. I think they’re too risky to take without further information.

   I had one of my female friends try these out for me. The recommended dosage is 3 tablets a day, one at each meal. After a month my friend reported no ill effects, but could not attest to any health benefits either. It is very hard to evaluate vitamins and I can’t personally recommend them although you may find they have some heath benefits. The ingredients all seem to be there on the label but I have no idea if they are what they say they are. The only things I can really attest to are they are well packaged and the pills themselves have a strong odor.

   Since I had gastric bypass surgery I will be taking pre-natal vitamins the rest of my life and going natural is great.

   You know it’s important to take your vitamins but you don’t want to take just any old multi-vitamin when you are expecting or trying to become pregnant. I chose this brand because it is made out of organic ingredients and it has added herbs in its formula which are supposed to support your energy levels and emotional well-being. I did feel more energized after I started taking these vitamins. I also noticed that I could take them on an empty stomach without getting nauseous or having a weird aftertaste an hour later. The only complaint that I have is that these tablets are kind of large which makes them hard to swallow, and unfortunately you have to take 3 a day to get your complete vitamins. Other than that they are great and I would recommend them.
