Multivitamins - which brand to choose
on 1/31/18 2:22 pm - Courtice, Canada
After I am through the chewable stage of vitamins I can't decide which brand to choose. I see many are prenatal. I have to take 2 per day as per my centre. I like the price of the Costco prenatal multi but I'm concerned about the iron in them. When I was pregnant I found the iron repeated on me all day, I think I used Maternal. I'm not looking forward to that for the rest of my life. So, does anybody find the vitamins bother them or could it have just been because I was pregnant??
I'd love to hear people's experiences on different brands.
Thanks
I have taken them for around 8 months with no issues. I find them easier to swallow than other brands suggested by TWH, some of which had a really off-putting odour. Plus the Costco prenatal Multis are pretty cheap and a bottle lasts forever.

Yes, I definitely like the price. It's what drew me to them originally!!
I had issues with the prenatals, so I switched to a Walmart brand that is specifically formulated to assist weight loss. I took the bottle in with me at my 1 month follow-up and the NP said it was great.
I couldn't find it on their website, but its the Equate version of this:

decently priced too, I think it's $9.97
