In this video, we will be discussing what makes a good prenatal vitamin. We’ll cover why it’s important to take a prenatal vitamin, when you should start taking one, and what you should look for in a good prenatal vitamin.
We’ll delve into the essential nutrients that a prenatal vitamin should contain, such as folic acid, iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, iodine, choline, DHA, vitamin A, and vitamin C. We’ll also discuss how much of each nutrient you should be taking, and provide some extra tips for getting the most out of your prenatal vitamin.
By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of what to look for in a good prenatal vitamin, and I’ll also share my recommendations with you!

16:31 Outro
The numbers are incorrect, pay attention before blindingly following his video! Vitamin A should never be more than 3000mcg, and she says not more than 10000mcg but that would be IU, and not mcg, completely wrong
I would love a video on folic acid
Folic acid vs. Metilfolate. Specially in the context of autism.
What if we don’t know we’re pregnant in early pregnancy and missed taking it 😅
Thank you for explaining the why behind starting prenatals early and sticking to evidence based guidelines. It really cuts through all the noise. For anyone still deciding, I personally used Baby Blues Prenatal Vitamins and loved that they focus on things you mentioned like methylated folate, choline, and iron. I genuinely felt more stable with my energy and mood, which made it easier to stay consistent.
