Though the gummy vitamins sound so good :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58367 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 23:36:02 +0000 immabeetoo 58367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent one very long night trying to calculate and read reviews - and while I don't remember why, after much deliberation I ended up taking the Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal s. They're pretty easy to swallow (3 a day) and don't upset my stomach one bit. Just my 2 cents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58339 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:51:11 +0000 Clementine 58339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure of the differences but I liked Rainbow Light as well as New Chapter's Organics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58215 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:42:04 +0000 tequiero21 58215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take the prenatals (1 pill). i think it's "natural" or something and it's cheap.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58127 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 20:19:16 +0000 autumnlove 58127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the Rainbow Light One a Days and didn't get any side effects. But rhe pills were big so I used a pill cutter so I could swallow them easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58075 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:54:38 +0000 carrieknitscake 58075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Rainbow Light Once a Day and like it. One pill is plenty for me. They meet my nutritional needs. Even with the 800mg of folic acid, I still pee out the extra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58072 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:44:54 +0000 Bluebonnet 58072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Rainbow Light's prenatals (once a day), but haven't heard of the other pill you listed. I like the Rainbow Lights, they've worked well for me (TTC and pregnant). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58022 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:51:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 58022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know for sure (although I did look into it before purchasing the One a Day Rainbow Lights), but I *believe* there isn't much difference, besides that perhaps you can get a little bit better absorption of some vitamins by taking them over the period of the day, rather than all at once(?). </p> <p>A one a day should more than suffice, especially if you eat anything close to a balanced diet.</p> <p>Also, Rankbow Light makes "petites" pill, which are smaller than your average multi-vit horse pill. You have to take 3 instead of 1, but they are much easier to swallow (I usually do 2 at a time, then 1 by itself).</p> <p>The 6 pill system is also more $$$ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58021 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:51:15 +0000 mrsjazz 58021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken both the Complete Prenatal and am now on the Prenatal One Rainbow Light. I switched only because of the amount of horsepills you have to take! (By the way, they also have a petite line of pills). The difference is in the supplement facts--the complete system has more of all the supplements than the one a day pill (except for a few things like Iron, Iodine, and Zinc which have exactly the same amounts). So the one a day as 800 mcg of Folic Acid while the Complete has 1,000--but both provide you with the recommended or more amount of what you need.</p> <p>I've tried other vitamins, too--but I stick with Rainbow Light because it's food based, easy on the stomach, and because the digestive support helps keep me regular :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58017 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:46:45 +0000 chopsuey 58017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Hello and welcome!! :D I've never heard of Rainbow Light, but just checked the reviews out on Amazon. I ate gummy vitamins during pregnancy because swallowing horsepills made me SUPER nauseous. I'm currently taking Prefera OB. The pills are tiny, don't smell, and they work for me! (nursing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-58009 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:38:42 +0000 Alivoo01 58009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rainbow-light-prenatal-vitamins#post-57850 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:58:56 +0000 Alivoo01 57850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen quite a few recommendations for Rainbow Light prenatals and am interested in starting on some soon as we might start TTC in a few months. Does anyone know what the difference is between Rainbow Light's Prenatal One and the Complete Prenatal vitamins other than the Prenatal One is a once a day pill vs the 6 for the Complete? </p>
