Ritual Essential for Women Prenatal Multivitamin: Folate & Choline for Neural Tube Support, Omega-3 DHA for Fetal Brain Development, Iron, Calcium-Helper D3 & K2, Non-GMO, Vegan, Mint, 30 Days

I was on another prenatal for about a month before I tried this one. I was constantly sick and exhausted, but I just blamed it on first trimester hormones. When I was about to run out, I decided to switch. Holy cow. I feel like a new person! I honestly went & got an emergency ultrasound this morning b/c all my symptoms disappeared within about 3 days of me switching. (Baby's heart rate is strong & they're growing perfectly!) I spent almost a month feeling constantly nauseated, my stomach was my enemy, and I felt completely useless due to exhaustion. For a couple of days now, I haven't had nausea, my stomach is all back to normal, and I have all the energy.My only complaint is that the lemon smell is really strong. I'm the type that likes to take pills with food, so I really can't with these b/c the smell is overpowering and makes whatever I'm eating taste weird. So, plain ice water it is. I just hold my breath. I've seen some people post about "fishy burps." I personally haven't had that, though very shortly after taking them there's a very faint aftertaste in the back of my throat, if that makes sense. But honestly, I'll take a strong lemon smell over the gross pills I was taking before. Plus, it's the smallest price to pay to feel this good.

I got on these as when my husband and I were thinking of TTC (I am 40). We did not get pregnant but as a multi vitamin these are the best thing I’ve ever taken. They’ve completely changed the way I feel, my mental focus, I’m literally a whole different person. I tried getting on the other regular multi vitamins because we decided against TTC and I started forgetting things again, my mental focus was off. If I go a week without these, I can definitely tell. I highly recommend these!

I’ve been taking Ritual Essential for Women Prenatal for three months while trying to conceive, and so far, I’m very impressed. The capsules are easy to swallow and don’t cause any stomach discomfort, which I’ve struggled with in the past with other prenatals. The ingredients are high-quality, vegan, and the transparency about sourcing gives me confidence in what I’m taking.I particularly like that this prenatal contains key nutrients like folate, iron, and DHA, which are essential when preparing for pregnancy. The mild lemon flavor is a nice touch too – no unpleasant aftertaste like other supplements I’ve tried.Although I can't say for sure if this has helped me conceive, I feel reassured knowing I’m supporting my body with the right vitamins and minerals. I also appreciate that Ritual offers prenatal vitamins for different stages of pregnancy, so I can continue with the same trusted brand.Overall, I’m happy with my experience and will continue taking this prenatal vitamin as part of my routine. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, effective supplement!

Overall, I love these vitamins. I've been taking them for 7 years now. I started with the regular mint ones and then when I decided to try to get pregnant, I switched to the prenatal. The lemon essence that accompanies the prenatal is far more pleasant during pregnancy than the mint was. I feel as though they met most of vitamin needs, although I did have to take an extra iron pill because I'm chronically anemic. During pregnancy, because I deal with hyperemesis, I had a hard time swallowing the pills. My gag reflex was very sensitive and I feel that while they are a normal sized capsule, they would have been easier to take had they been smaller. Over the years the prices have fluctuated significantly, mostly heading up, which has made taking them a costly endeavor. The main cons of this product other than the price are that sometimes the bottle arrives and is missing some of the vitamins, and the other is that the pills eventually turn dark, even if they aren't expired. The customer service has always been great though and they've been quick to end replacements.

I’ve been on the search for a higher quality prenatal vitamin. The typical common prenatal vitamin/brands don’t have all the necessary ingredients imo. Ritual is a really good choice if you’re looking for the extra DHA, choline and omega 3’s. The flavor choices are also really nice to cover up the fishy taste and smell. I haven’t had any GI issues with either. I’ve taken the mint so far and it so much easier taking those vitamins than the others. Highly recommend.

These are definitely my favorite prenatal vitamins I have tried. However, if they go down funky you will be burping oily lemon flavor for hours. Also, I feel like they sometimes get “stuck” in my esophagus so I’m chugging water for 10 min so I can sleep! But the actual flavor is like lemon water.I have been struggling with infertility for 2.5 years now and these have been my go to the whole time.

I feel like I saw lots of marketing around these prenatal vitamins, and after using them for several weeks now, I don't think they're worth the hype. I can't speak to the vitamin quality or sourcing, but whenever I take them, I end up with a fishy aftertaste several hours later. They do include Choline, which some prenatals don't, but only 55mg (10% of the DV). They are relatively small pills and easy to swallow (especially important if you're having morning sickness). But I probably would have struggled even then - gummy vitamins were about all I could handle. Once I'm done with this bottle, I'll be switching back to my Olly gummy vitamins for a quarter of the price.
