I just got my blood test results back, and am anemic at 30 weeks pregnant. I have been taking my prenatal vitamins religiously so was confused, and this revelation led me to further scrutinize the ingredients in my vitamins.

I was very surprised to see that these do not contain ANY iron at all - which is ironic (ha!) since iron is pretty darn important when you're pregnant.

Also, today I happened upon an article describing the ill-effects of Retinyl Palmitate, which is a synthetic form of vitamin A. I was horrified to find that this is one of the main ingredients in these gummy vitamins. The best type of vitamin A for pregnant women is derived from plant-sources such as beta carotene. There is insufficient research available out there proving that Retinyl Palmitate is safe for pregnant women, and in fact most information out there recommends against ingesting it, as this form of vitamin A is present in most facial moisturizers, sunscreens etc. and getting too...

First off: I LOVE these gummies, and will continue to use them. It supplies the basics, including folic acid, in a way that works for me (tasty gummies!). I give them a four star based on nutritional value/flavor. Minus one star for minor issues below - don't double up! (They taste good enough to do so.

Many other reviewers have noted some concerns about vitamin A source, lack of iron, etc. This is a "vitamin" supplement only, vs. mineral. It's just a *supplement* to your diet, which is probably already stellar. I'm sure most pregnant/TTC women are VERY aware of their diets, and trying to eat healthy. If you're really concerned, check with your doctor. I was really just looking for extra folic acid and basic anti-oxidants.

There's no calcium or other minerals that you might find in a complete multi-vitamin/mineral source. Most of us won't need those supplemented. Regarding the iron, if you're eating well, again you may not need an iron supplement, which for... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes like candy!, May 6, 2010

This review is from: Vitafusion Prenatal, Gummy Vitamins, 90-Count (Health and Beauty)
I was very discouraged with regular prenatal vitamins that are the size of horse pills OR with the omega supplement that has a fishy aftertaste. These gummies taste great, I was surprised at how much they taste like candy, and there is no bad aftertaste! I actually look forward to taking my vitamins each day. Great product, would recommend to my friends and family who are looking for an alternative to regular prenatal vitamins.
