What owners like

- Short label without extra herbs or fillers
Common complaints

What it does
A two capsule a day prenatal multivitamin and mineral from Pure Encapsulations, in vegetarian capsules, sold in 60 and 120 counts.
- Maker describes it as a multivitamin and mineral complex for pregnancy and lactation
- Also contains B12 as methylcobalamin, vitamin K1, zinc, selenium and mixed carotenoids
- Free of gluten, GMOs, wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame and magnesium stearate, per the maker

Suited to people whose healthcare practitioner is fine with a capsule prenatal and who want a short, allergen free label. The trade-offs are that it has no DHA and only 100 mg of choline, so a practitioner reviewer notes those usually come from food or a second product, and it costs more than store brand prenatals.
