Natural supplements?

Question

What supplements/minerals/vitamins do you take? 
I'm only very newly pregnant (4 weeks) and love all my supplements. Just wanted to know if there's anything you would recommend (besides prenatal and folic acid)?

Answer

You can look into the benefits of taking folate rather than folic acid. 
Daily I take Garden of Life MyKind Organics prenatal one a day, Nordic Naturals Prenatal DHA - no fishy smell!, Country Life B6, and Doctor's Best methyl folate. Along with a topical magnesium spray to help vitamin b absorption and reduce nausea.

Answer

I take Garden Of Life Prenatals and Garden Of Life "Ocean Mom" DHA. Very happy with them both.

Answer

I take a natural prenatal and a folate- NOT folic acid, there is a big difference. I also take vit D3, a fish oil and a probiotic every day. I will be taking vit K closer to delivery so I can avoid the synthetic K shot at birth.

Answer

I use a nutritional line approved by my OB and my naturopath and the great thing is the entire family can use it

Answer

I don't take a prenatal. I could not find one I liked, and most have excess nutrients, particular if you are eating a healthy diet. I take folate, zinc, D3, cod liver oil, and raw, grass fed liver capsules then a calcium/magnesium/trace mineral supplement before bed. I also recommend K2, but you don't need it the whole pregnancy. I found a liquid D3 that contains it that I have been taking the last several months of pregnancy.

Answer

Nordic fish oil, 5,000iu vit D, vaginal specific probiotic from garden of life (which I am attributing my negative GBS test to, and kombucha 3x week), a B50 complex, natural food based prenatal with a gentle stomach/digestive veggie/fruit/probioactive blend, iron, food based vit C...I think that's it..?

Answer

I do not take a prenatal. All I take is Juice Plus. I'm 30 weeks and my doctor is thrilled with my bloodwork and pregnancy

Answer

Along with my prenatal and vegetarian DHA, I take B6 for energy and nausea, D3 for flu prevention, and an additional folic acid.
