Vitamins Gluten-Free Prenatal Complete Daily Gummy Vitamins (30 Day Supply)- 180 Count

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.

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 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.

So, I am not pregnant, and neither are my two school aged daughters, but I buy this multivitamin. I give my kids a half dose of these. Here are the reasons I like this multi: 1.) K2 is the type of K that is needed to properly use D3 and calcium, hard to find a multi with this best form of K 2.) Methylfolate is the bioavailable form of folate, upwards of half of the population has a genetic anomaly that keeps them from turning the manmade form called folic acid into the usable form of methylfolate. Inability to properly use folate can lead to a huge list of health issues. 3.) MethylB12 is the is the bioavailable form of B12, upwards of half of the population has a genetic anomaly that keeps them from turning the manmade form called cyanocobalamin into the usable form of methylcobalamin. Inability to properly use B12 can lead to a huge list of health issues. (if you are reading this and have never heard of MTHFR please google it now and read up on it) 4.) NO chromium. Chromium is a toxin, studies on chromium were done in rats which do not always translate into humans. It is theorized now that the way that chromium works in balancing blood sugar is most likely a reaction of the body to the toxin, the body uses energy (glucose) to deal with detoxing the chromium and the use of energy is what brings blood sugars into balance. 5.) NO manganese. Manganese is a toxin and there is no real proof that manganese is a necessary micronutrient for the human body. 6.) All natural colors and flavors etc. 7.) NO iron. Iron is necessary and it is estimated that iron deficiency is actually quite high among the population. However, iron blocks the absorption of so many micronutrients that it needs to be taken separately of many micronutrients. 8.) NO calcium. Yes, calcium is necessary, but like iron, calcium blocks the absorption of so many micronutrients that it needs to be taken separately of many micronutrients. 9.) Omega 3. Just handy to have it all in one place. 10.) Stearate free. Here is my only problem with my using this as a multi for my kids, I feel the B12 is too low. Here is my problem with this as a multi and why I cannot take ANY of the SmartyPants products. I have Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis and though it may sound counterintuitive I have found out the hard way after three attempts at taking different multi's with iodine in them that iodine causes my TSH and TPOab numbers to go up and it gives me a goiter. Humans really need only a small mount of iodine and it is easy to get enough iodine from food. The USDA recommends an iodine intake of 150mcg daily, 3oz of shrimp has 35mcg, a cup of milk has 56mcg, 3oz of cod has a whopping 99mcg! Even one egg has 12mcg of iodine. To take 150mcg of idone in a multi is just excessive for anyone. Here are my wishes (I hope SmartyPants reads this!): 1.) I wish that Smartypants would reformulate all of their products so that ALL of them have methylfolate. Right now ONLY the prenatal has methylfolate, all of SmartyPants' other products have folic acid. People with the MTHFR genetic mutation should not take folic acid. 2.) I wish that SmartyPants would reformulate to be iodine free or at least offer one iodine free version.

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.

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.
