Prenatal vitamin and DHA supplement
What combination (specific brands, please) of prenatal vitamin and DHA supplement are you using?
After my first prenatal exam last week, I went in search of a more complete prenatal vitamin since the gummy prenatal I have been using does not contain iron (but does have small amounts of DHA).
My endless Internet search pointed me toward Rainbow Light prenatal (red raspberry leaf notwithstanding), but when I went to add Rainbow Light DHA supplement, I found it would result in a serving of Vitamin E at twice the daily recommended value. I have read this is dangerous for me and could cause heart defects in a child.
From there, I went down the Internet rabbit hole looking for a DHA supplement that did not contain vitamin E but that doesn't also get trashed with negative reviews about its other contents, like ethyl alcohol.
It's made my head spin and overwhelmed me that trying to do the healthiest thing for me and my child is impossible because of all the conflicting information. Wouldn't the manufacturers of prenatals be wise to making sure all the ingredients are safe and do not exceed daily limits when taken together as intended?
Save me some more agony and tell me the secret combination that works!!
