Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "It really surprises me when I come to know that I have to take it once a day. These have 2 extra enzymes for the baby breast milk, so you can take it during pregnancy and the postnatal lactating period. Thirdly, it doesn't leave any bad taste in the mouth, nor does it upset your stomach. I am happy with it, and the most important thing is that it is FDA tested and their VCAPS are of plant origin. Vcaps shells are manufactured KOsher, HALAL certified, and Vegetarian Society approved. But you can only get them through prescription, not over the counter."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I know everyone is different, but this vitamin is by far the best one out there. I've taken many prenatal vitamins, and they've always made my stomach very upset and made me very constipated. Thanks to this vitamin, I don't even have to take it with food. The only complaint I have about it is the taste. You have to swallow it very quickly so the taste doesn't stay on your tongue."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "I wanted to like this pill a lot as it was easy to swallow, but after taking it for more than a month, I missed a dosage, and the side effects started: upset stomach, nausea, and stool discoloration. It lasted for days..."

For Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "When I started to take the vitamins, I eat a little more on the side. In the first few days, I had an upset stomach, nausea, and even vomiting (I could hardly vomit generally, but the drug made me). Then I started to take them every other day, but still, I was having stomach problems. Finally, I stopped taking them for 2 weeks, and I feel I am exhausted as the baby got all my body nutrients. I started to feel tired, sleepy, and overall not well. Now I eat little by little and take the vitamin again every other day. Still, I feel constipation, but I try to drink lots of water to absorb the vitamin, and I feel better. Also, try to bite it and then swallow (I know it is disgusting), it may help to absorb it easier."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "Been taking for a week now. Yes, the pills are easy to swallow and don't taste bad at all, but they did give me a major headache. After reading reviews, I thought every person had different side effects, but they did give me an upset stomach and a major headache. I am not sure about taking them anymore."

Multivitamin, prenatal for Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation "This was a horrible experience after taking only one. I got a bad headache, stomachache, gas, nauseous, and just all around not feeling well. Just took it today, so I will be glad when it goes out of my system. Horrible vitamin!"
