side effects of one a day prenatal with DHA and iron?

Question

I started taking these about two months ago, and have noticed that I've had horrible constipation and cramps between ovulation and AF. Normally, I'm pretty regular, but did tend to notice about a week before AF it was a little harder to go (prior to prenatal vitamin). Anyone else have this issue and have advice?

Answer

I take probiotics to avoid constipation and yeast infections ,pregprep and prenatal vitamins

Answer

It can sometimes be the iron in the multivitamin that causes this. You could swap to one with a plant based iron supplement or look for  Ferrous glycinate on the pack which is supposed to be easier on the digestive system than Ferrous gluconate.

Answer

They give me constipation too! So frustrating,  I even take two different brand (I alternate gummies & pills) I feel you, it's aweful but I have had some luck combatting it with Metamucil- it's thick and strange but tastes like tang soooo not too bad

Answer

I haven't take this specific brand but multi- vitamins with added iron can cause constipation. Make sure to drink enough water and eat enough fiber(take fiber supplements if needed). Also, calcium+magnesium supplements can help :)
