Thank you! Glad to hear I'm taking a decent prenatal. It's called PureNatal by Pure Synergy and it's a whole food multivitamin made with organic fruits and veggies. It has Iron & Copper, folate as L-5-MTHF but a small amount of folic acid as well. It also has vitamin A as beta carotene, but overall seems like I have a good one. Gotta be better than the Dr. prescribed prenatal I took with my first pregnancy. Idk why I ever took it, I was young and dumb and I'm sure it was completely synthetic ingredients. My son is 6 now and has severe ADHD. I'm praying this one will not be.
Congrats on the second baby; hope everything is going well! We had a second baby since making this video; kids are just the best! At some point, you may want to go through the GAPS protocol for your son to help with the ADHD. Often ADHD can be mitigated or healed when gut health is restored. www.gapsdiet.com We’ll be praying for a healthy delivery!
Loved loved loved this!! I've been using garden of life until I did research on heavy metals. I would love to be able to find mykinds reports instead of their other products. Right now im focusing on just eating all the right foods and not taking anything... as you just mentioned it! Lol
How do you not have more subscribers???! Anyways , this was very informative information. Made my anxiety of searching the right prenatal cease . I ended buying the garden of life just because it was Whole Foods and organic
Iron is a common culprit of nausea. If your prenatal has a dosage greater than 20 mg of Iron daily, you may want to look for one that has a lower dosage.
Thank you so much for the information , I chose garden of life prenatal ( the one you talked about it in the video ) but now that you’ve mentioned sugar I’m quite worried , im only taking natural sugars aka honey or fruits etc but now that I’ve realized I’ve been taking another type of sugar quite worries me 😭also I’m a vitamin d deficient person, should I get more vitamin d or just stick with this multivitamin ?
What do you think about doTerra supplements ? I am also pregnant and trying to find more i go and compare it with .. honestly I have stopped to take anything for now because I am quite uncertain 🤨 of all these labs ..
For anyone who’s nervous about getting "too much" vitamin A or eating liver while pregnant… I highly recommend you read the article below. It explains how this myth started and the great benefits of consuming active vitamin A from liver. www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/vitamin-a-the-scarlet-nutrient/
Food. I’m actually serious. If you want to take a capsulated multi-vitamin supplement to make you feel better, there are some that won’t hurt you; but nothing can replace good quality food for health. So I strongly recommend relying on nutritious food to supply your nutrition. I talk more about this idea in this video: czcams.com/video/zqQpEAmYXmU/video.html Hope that helps!
Hey! I answered this question in one of my Q&A episodes! Here is the link to check it out! 😁 Avoiding MSG, Cod Liver Oil, Food as Nutrition || The DennisFromScratch Q&A Show (Ep. 3) czcams.com/video/ZS0OC3nvSR4/video.html
In our opinion there is no real good prenatal vitamin. This is exactly why we suggest not taking the "easy way out" by taking pills but instead get the nutrients needed through good quality healthy foods.
The whole food vitamin still contains synthetic vitamins, it's just marketing. They take the synthetic vitamins and put them in a whole food powder base, that's it.
After reading the nutrition facts, it looks like it might be alright. It does have a few additives that could cause irritation, but no extremely harsh chemicals. Also, my wife found that high B12 and magnesium were helpful, and this product is a little low on those. I also see that the Vitamin A levels are a little low and might be difficult to absorb in that form. Vitamin A is particularly important to get in the animal form, which is easiest to get as a supplement like desiccated liver: radiantlifecatalog.com/desiccated-liver/
I watched your video on diet during pregnancy, I think that’s the one where you mentioned a liver pill/supplement if you couldn’t handle the taste while pregnant…would this be a sufficient source for vitamin A too?
As long as the liver supplement is not defatted, it should be about the same as consuming fresh liver. The brands that we mentioned in the other video are not defatted so those are good!
I didn’t know she sold a prenatal. But overall, I like the work she does. So I would be inclined to trust her prenatal over just about any other pill-form nutrition.
I think it sounds great. That’s pretty much what Abbi (my wife) has been doing. We made a video a couple years ago about it: czcams.com/video/0hx2f5G4WJU/video.html
I have a few issues with this prenatal. To start it has a lot of processed sugars hidden as "vegetable glycerin", it has chemical preservatives that when combined with the vitamin C can become toxic and harmful, the vitamin levels are extremely low and for the most part not in forms that can be absorbed easily. Overall I definitely would not recommend this product.
Yes, both of those brands are pretty good. Ideally you’ll get most of your nutrition from good quality fresh foods, but I recommend those brands if you do take a supplement.
I wouldn’t recommend it. Many of the nutrients are in the wrong form for your body to absorb. And it doesn’t contain any magnesium or copper (making it unbalanced). But it is good that it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or artificial dyes.
Too much Vitamin A in retinol form can cause birth defects thats why you rarely see it in prenatals. Vitamin A in the form of Betacarotene is better because your body will convert it to Vitamin A that your body needs and eliminate the excess.
Thankfully, that’s inaccurate. I touched upon this briefly in the video, but for more information I highly recommend this article: www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/vitamin-a-the-scarlet-nutrient/ It’s a long article, but the most important sections are the ones titled “Liver for Vitamin A” and subsequently “The Rothman Study”
@@DennisfromScratch actually she is correct! This is why medications that are derivatives of vitamin A (ie. Accutane) are STRICTLY against being taken during pregancies, high volumes of vit A can cause birth defects.
Accutane does not contain retinol in its natural form. Accutane and other drugs contain retinoid and other synthetics forms of true vitamin A. It is these lab-created, synthetic forms that have been shown to cause birth defects.
Hey, sorry to keep you waiting on an answer! I just released a new Q&A video where I answer your question and address vitamin percentages in supplements. Hope it helps! czcams.com/video/M6_2yPvKNPI/video.html
“Plant based” is different from “plants”. Many things that say “plant based” are highly refined and undigestible/toxic. I love eating plants as part of my diet, but “plant based” does not always mean it’s healthy.

Baby and Me 2 or Garden of Life? Which is the best? I couldnt believe my prenatals had red dyes, sucrose,etc.
Just found your channel! I’m so excited to binge watch everything! 🤩
Have you finished binging yet?
Thanks for your vidoe on Anthony William as well, his diet ruined my eye sight.
Intelligent commentary. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the info.. I have to take a prenatal because this pregnancy I am having a hard time with nausea and I can only keep down certain foods
Happy to help. You got this!
Iron is a common culprit of nausea. If your prenatal has a dosage greater than 20 mg of Iron daily, you may want to look for one that has a lower dosage.
Thank you soo much. Thanks to your video I was able to make the right decision for me.
That’s awesome to hear! Good luck to you!

What do you think of Garden of Life raw code prenatals?
What about the synthetic vitamin e (alpha tocopherol) it is a synthetic vitamin and linked to cancer
In our opinion there is no real good prenatal vitamin. This is exactly why we suggest not taking the "easy way out" by taking pills but instead get the nutrients needed through good quality healthy foods.
Doctor are u recommending country life ?
Thank you 🙏 for sharing!
My pleasure!
The whole food vitamin still contains synthetic vitamins, it's just marketing. They take the synthetic vitamins and put them in a whole food powder base, that's it.
Great video ❤🎉
I appreciate this video
What about Thorne Basic Prenatal? Would you recommend?
Just bought those for my wife, they added choline to the mix! Also got her Thorne Prenatal DHA.
Supposedly the B12 is way too high and is linked to autism
What is your opinion on Designs for Health Prenatal Pro?
After reading the nutrition facts, it looks like it might be alright. It does have a few additives that could cause irritation, but no extremely harsh chemicals. Also, my wife found that high B12 and magnesium were helpful, and this product is a little low on those.

Wow I read all those vampire books in the top left of your bookshelf in middle school.
Yep. Those would be my wife’s books. 😁
I watched your video on diet during pregnancy, I think that’s the one where you mentioned a liver pill/supplement if you couldn’t handle the taste while pregnant…would this be a sufficient source for vitamin A too?

I think it sounds great. That’s pretty much what Abbi (my wife) has been doing. We made a video a couple years ago about it: czcams.com/video/0hx2f5G4WJU/video.html
@@DennisfromScratchwhat are benefits about it ?
What do you think about Mary Ruths liquid Prenatal?
I have a few issues with this prenatal. To start it has a lot of processed sugars hidden as "vegetable glycerin", it has chemical preservatives that when combined with the vitamin C can become toxic and harmful, the vitamin levels are extremely low and for the most part not in forms that can be absorbed easily.
Overall I definitely would not recommend this product.
Very accurate
Garden of Life comes in pill form and gummy form
I’m lost though because the pill doesn’t have copper AND it has the bad form of Vitamin A… so I’m confused why he recommended it!
@@MollyMA13 yes same
Nutrigold prenatal?
What do you think of one a day prenatal??
What about Naturelo prenatal?
I addressed your question in the Q&A video I just released. Here’s a link to it. Hope it helps! czcams.com/video/LeslPrO0wmY/video.html
So you recommend baby and me 2 or my kind ?
Yes, both of those brands are pretty good. Ideally you’ll get most of your nutrition from good quality fresh foods, but I recommend those brands if you do take a supplement.
Wasn't garden of life bought by nestle
Is the nature's truth prenatal good??
I wouldn’t recommend it. Many of the nutrients are in the wrong form for your body to absorb. And it doesn’t contain any magnesium or copper (making it unbalanced). But it is good that it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or artificial dyes.
