Question from Csöbi-Szabó Orsolya

Hi Debra,

I couldn’t find anything about prenatal vitamins on your website. Could you recommend me a good brand?

What do you think about these?

Realfood Organics Prenatal

Rainbow Light

Vitamin Code

Debra’s Answer

Let’s look at all three.

Realfood Organics is “primarily made from real fruits and vegetables…We source only USDA organic ingredients to share with you” But it also contains maltodextrin (an industrial sweetener) and soy (plus some other ingredients I’m not concerned about.

Rainbow Light has a number of prenatals to choose from. Their Certified Organics Prenatal Multivitamin is made with a “Organic Fruit & Veggie Blend” but also contains nutrients not from whole food sources.

Vitamin Code is basically raw whole foods supplemented with their own

  • RAW Food-Created Nutrients that are individually created through microorganism cultivation which typically allows for the natural creation of known and yet to be discovered Code Factors such as live Probiotics, Bioactive Glycoproteins, Bioactive Lipoproteins, Bioactive Enzymes, Glucomannan, SOD, Glutathione, Beta-glucans, Lipoic Acid, Essential Trace Minerals, Glutamine, Polysaccharides and CoQ10
  • RAW Food-Chelated Minerals
  • AlgaeCal RAW- a raw, certified organic whole food marine algae complex containing 73 naturally occurring minerals and trace elements.

Contains fermented soy.

From my viewpoint, each contains something I wouldn’t take, but may be fine for you. I stay away from maltodextrin, nutrients that are not whole foods, and soy.

Be sure to look at the Supplement Facts to see what it in the supplements.

If I had to choose one of these, I would choose Vitamin Code.

Readers, any suggestions? What prenatal vitamins have you taken?
