Reply To: Prenatals – Are there any out there that meet almost all DV%?

Hey! Unfortunately, there isn’t a prenatal vitamin with only pros for everyone, this is why I preach heavily on individualization because what has majority “pros” for one person may have more limited pros for someone else. This is based on your past + current intake, bloodwork, past health history, existing health conditions, lifestyle, and more. The prenatal vitamins listed in the prenatal vitamin note are there because I believe overall, they are the best on the market to date. So, without an individualized supplement prescription, these are your best options. I also want you to remember the food you are eating is much more important than your supplement. The prenatal vitamin is only meant to fill in gaps and ensure you are getting an extra push of certain nutrients you probably aren’t getting enough of in your diet. I do believe Smarty Pants is more well-rounded than Ritual even though it has less of certain nutrients (this is entirely because it is a gummy, and they can’t “fit” as many of each nutrient in each gummy). I hope that helps!
