Garden of Life Prenatal Vitamin
Whole Food Goodness Without the Fillers
Posted February 6th, 2011 by noelle | View Comments
On my journey to have a child, I found that my body’s ability to absorb the full potential of the nutrients I was eating in my food was not as robust as it should be. So I chose to supplement my diet with a good prenatal supplement and a probiotic (to boost my nutrient absorption) from Dr. Ohhira’s. Learn more about probiotics here. I started taking this prenatal vitamin prior to being pregnant and have continued throughout my pregnancy.
Why take a prenatal vitamin?
Many detox divas argue against taking a prenatal vitamin, if you are eating a diet rich in fruit, veggies, leafy greens, whole grains and quality proteins. But if your body is not fully able to absorb all the nutrients in your food, then I have found they are worth considering. I am taking a probiotic to help strengthen my digestion and absorption ability along with a quality, whole-foods (meaning it contains no artificial fillers) pre-natal vitamin.
My prenatal vitamin of choice: Garden of Life’s Vitamin Code brand
I like the raw prenatal vitamins from Garden of Life for the following reasons:
- no binders or fillers
- vitamin doesn’t need to be taken with food
- easy to digest, no upset stomach
Where to buy: Garden of Life’s Vitamin Code brand
I buy my Garden of LIfe brand prenatal vitamins on iherb.com. The price is good and iherb often offers free shipping.
