Thorne prenatals and DHA are great
I use Smarty Pants prenatals. They have a clean label project purity award and are quite tasty. Plus you can buy them on Amazon and have them auto-ship every month!
Pro
I took Theranatal Complete, which was recommended by my fertility doctor.
I use Ritual but my doctor said they’re all the same (incl like Costco) so don’t stress!
Conversation Starter
I use nature valley
My wife took Needed and Thorne prenatals.
It took a few months to conceive our second, so I took a men's multivitamin from WeNatal. Can't say if it did anything, but we did conceive right at about 4 weeks of me taking them. Dudes can't do a ton, but our health and nutrition matters too.
Thanks I really need to do better too. Not at my healthiest
Pro
I take Fullwell, also Needed. I like Thorn brand too.
My fancy, holistically focused, try the natural remedy first OB said that prenatals are all the same as long as they have enough folic acid in them. Said don’t go for the fancy ones because they’re a scam.
I used the vitafusion gummies because they don’t have iron (iron made me nauseous).
I used Smarty Pants (they taste great and don’t have iron, which made me nauseous) was for my standard prenatal and Ritual for Choline.
Make sure you pick one that has folic acid not folate
I took Thorne Basic Prenatal. I could only tolerate that
I take a prenatal and DHA supplement. Early on when I couldn’t stomach eating eggs I also took an additional choline supplement from Ritual. See my recommendations below. I’m on my 2nd pregnancy and followed the same regime for my first and he is brilliant!
Megafood baby & me 2 prenatal (has choline, which MANY prenatals don’t have or only contain insignificant amounts of as a marketing tactic) + Nordic Naturals prenatal DHA
