Prenatal Formula

Mom of 2 : Always great. If you have a hard time getting vitamins down or forgetting to take them at all, this is my recommendation. They recently came out with a sugar free version too but I have yet to try those. I've used these for both of my pregnancies and and when I go to get blood drawn, my vitamin levels are always good (had some iron, magnesium and vitamin D issues but I don't think that's the vitamins fault. Just had to take extra of those.) Super yummy and with the serving size being 4 gummies, it just feels like candy. Which is great cause I'm a sugar addict and that's what gets me to remember to take them. They are pricy and probably not the *absolute highest* quality vitamins on the market but they are a good basic methylated vitamin that gets the job done while tasting like a sweet treat. So for me, it's worth it. I recommend these wherever I go.

I was searching for a prenatal that had everything I wanted and it was extremely hard to find one, this one came the closest. I wanted a prenatal with real folate rather then folic acid and that was gluten free and didn’t have all the unnecessary crap and fillers you find in most others. Also I was looking for one that had 150 mcg of iodine or less as per my endocrinologist for my thyroid. I also wanted one that didn’t have too much vitamin A and contained epa and dha. This one DOES NOT contain calcium or iron, BUT you can get an iron supplement for $7 (which is what I did) which will last you six months. As for the calcium, you can add that too, but if you are getting enough in daily through your diet it’s ok to not have it. Don’t listen to negative reviews stating it’s missing key nutrients...it’s not. If you feel you are missing something or need more, add an extra supplement. If all prenatals were made the same it would be easier, but it’s not a one size fits all. They try to put in the best. Sure you can get a prescription of prenatals from your doctors, but do you know what extra un-needed ingredients are in them? Anyway, I personally think they are very good. I started taking them before I was pregnant and they literally taste like candy and they go down easily. Now that I’m 9 weeks in and at the height of my nausea, they are a bit sweet tasting to me, but they stay down! Do yourself a favor, if you’re considering these, put them on your top three of prenatals and make the decision that works best for you! :)

I did A LOT of research and comparing of products before purchasing these for the first time. I have been using these since I found out I was pregnant at around 6 weeks. I am now 30 weeks, and can attest to how amazing these vitamins are. I wanted a gummy vitamin at first because I was so nauseous and swallowing pills was too difficult. I was hesitant about the taste when ordering these since I saw other reviews say they are too sour. However, I actually enjoy the taste. They taste like a slightly less sweet version of fruit gushers (without the juice inside). The taste for me was just right and did not make my morning sickness worse. I was able to keep these down and didn’t dread taking them. When looking for prenatals, I also did not want anything with a bunch of artificial dyes and ingredients. This doesn’t have any, but does have a high sugar content (6g) that I think is worth the trade off to having a better taste. I will say these are on the pricier side of vitamins, but all vitamins tend to be expensive. It is annoying that I have to rebuy these each month, but you can always use the subscribe and save to save a little bit. Additionally, the SMELL IS BAD. Think plastic + fish. Do NOT stick your nose into the container to smell it, you’ll regret it. Overall, I do enjoy using these vitamins and will continue to do so for the remainder of my pregnancy.

I have Celiac Disease and the MTHFR mutation (double) and have been struggling to find prenatals with Methylated Folate that don’t make me sick, don’t entirely destroy my appetite, and don’t work against other medications I have to take. My two cents: •Smell: They’re definitely fruity and can be a little overwhelming if you have a sensitive sense of smell—I do. But they’re not terrible. Not as strong as the Flinstone’s gummies. •Taste/texture: I had read in reviews that it was chalky and hard to swallow and had a pungent taste—I’m not sure if that’s a different form or if they have changed their formulas since, but I received gummies with a decently pleasant taste. I’m not desperately waiting until the next day to be able to eat more, but they’re good enough. They have a slightly citric-fruity flavor that isn’t terrible and they go down pretty easily. My Issues: •I really only have one and it’s that I am EXHAUSTED after taking these. I have been taking them for about two weeks and have undergone some of the most intense, overwhelming exhaustion of my life. My personal life has been a bit emotional and mentally taxing and I am autistic, so it could just be coincidence and my stress levels rising, but I decided to take them overnight last night (after struggling to wake up every morning and struggling to remain awake on the drive to work—when I’m usually awake 20-30 minutes before my alarm and running around like crazy) to see how I would be this morning. I woke up a lot easier and was able to remain focused. I was able to actually complete my morning routine without struggling. The drive to work was still a little spacey, so I’m going to take them when I get home from work instead of right before bed. It should be noted, this isn’t an uncommon side effect after a lack of folate in the system. It can be a shock to your body, which I expected. I don’t have any comments regarding effects on skin, hair, nails, digestion, or anything else yet as it’s only been about two weeks.

I absolutely love SmartyPants Prenatal Vitamins! As an expecting mom, I wanted a prenatal vitamin that was not only packed with essential nutrients but also easy and enjoyable to take—and these gummies tick all the boxes. First of all, the taste is fantastic! Unlike other vitamins that can be hard to swallow or have a strange aftertaste, these gummies have a pleasant flavor that I actually look forward to every day. It’s a great way to ensure I’m getting the nutrients I need without feeling like it’s a chore. These gummies are loaded with everything I was looking for in a prenatal vitamin: Omega 3 fish oil (EPA/DHA), biotin, methylfolate, and vitamins D3, C, B12, B6, A, K, and zinc. I love knowing that I’m getting all these important nutrients in one delicious gummy, and the fact that they use high-quality, easily absorbable forms like methylfolate and B12 is a huge plus. Another thing I appreciate is that these vitamins are free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. They’re also non-GMO and allergen-friendly, which gives me peace of mind about what I’m putting into my body during pregnancy. The 120-count bottle is perfect for a 30-day supply, and the packaging is sturdy and easy to open. I’ve noticed a positive difference in my energy levels and overall well-being since starting these gummies, and I’m confident that they’re supporting both my health and my baby’s development. Overall, I highly recommend SmartyPants Prenatal Vitamins to any expecting mom. They make it easy to stay on top of your prenatal nutrition, and they taste great too! Definitely a must-have in your daily routine.

Old formula and taste was excellent. New formula does not taste as good and less omega 3s. No idea why they decided to change it. After trying the new formula, I went ahead and bought enough old formula to last the rest of my pregnancy.

I have been trying to successfully conceive for two years, and in that time, I have tried out many kinds of prenatal vitamins. After discovering the horse pill capsules don't work well with my sensitive stomach, I have had to switch to gummies. This is maybe the fourth kind that I have tried, and despite some caveats, I don't think I will ever use another kind again! Pros: -Hands down, the number one pro is my skin! Ever since going off of birth control, my skin has exploded in adult acne. This was quite distressing for someone who has always had pretty good skin. I have tried various soaps, scrubs, exfoliants, etc., for TWO YEARS, and it was still a red, bumpy mess. This month, I stopped everything but a mild bar soap twice a day, coupled with these vitamins, and my skin AMAZING. Soft, even-toned, and nary a zit to be seen, which is especially amazing considering where I am in my cycle. This alone is the reason why I will take this prenatal as long as possible! -Methylfolate. This contains a natural kind of folate, which not all prenatals do. I cannot say for sure that synthetic folate had anything to do with my recent loss, but I certainly am no longer taking any chances! -Natural ingredients from good sources. -Great price for what you get, especially with the frequent 30% off coupon. -Take with a meal, on an empty stomach, at 3am because you forgot to take them last night...it doesn't matter. I am a notoriously weak-stomached person, and I can take these whenever, without issue. Not sure if that will be the same when HG rocks my world again, but I am doing great on them for now. Cons: -Okay, not going to lie...the taste and texture could be better. I have taken far worse for far longer though, so I am not fussing too much. These vitamins taste sort of like the old Flinstone vitamins from when we were kids. It's not overly offensive, but not quite as yummy as, say, the Vitafusion prenatals. The texture is also less traditional gummy vitamin, and more reminiscent of a Gusher or Fruit by the Foot (those garbage snacks from the 90s). Again, not great, but not too off-putting. -You need 6 of these a day. I chew 3 at a time and move on. That's a lot of vitamin chewing for me too, but I promise it's bearable. -Yes, these lack iron. Most gummies don't bond well with iron, so you will be hard-pressed to find a gummy prenatal with much of it in there, if any at all. I supplement it in my diet, but I also am no longer seemingly prone to anemia. You may want to take an additional iron supplement though. -Yes, these also don't have the full daily value of everything, such as DHA. Again, it will need to be supplemented in your diet, or you will need to take an additional pill. Fish, eggs, certain dairy products, etc. are great sources of this. Finally, I thoroughly examined these for the black spots and weirdness other consumers have reported. I did not have any of that. I of course am skeptical and will continue to examine each batch for awhile, but they seemed okay for me for now. And considering they were half the price that Walmart charges, I will continue to take my chances unless Smarty Pants gives me a reason not to!

It's OK , but wouldn't recommend to anyone which has morning sickness, I am currently expecting and I have morning sick (which got better) but still have it through out my pregnancy, I am currently 7 month, but keeps vomiting every 3 to 4 days while taking this prenatals, without the this prenatals ,i would puke every week or 2 , so i started taking it at nights since it makes me vomit, and as a result I would vomit in the morning when i arise. Upon researching nausea/vomiting is a side effect. Overall it works wells I can't really eat since I vomit constantly with it and baby is healthy as a horse so i would think it works. I do fancy the taste ,I just thought the nausea would subside but it did not,so that's my only reason for switching prenatal, but if u don't have a problem vomiting it works . (Speaking from my personal experience.)

I ordered thinking that this doesn't contain gelatin. However, there are two variants. One is a vegetarian one which does not contain any gelatin. So to my fellow Muslim women, be careful while you order. To The Smarty pants company: Please make halal gummies.
