Great Vitamin for MTHFR Deficiency
I was told that with this pregnancy that I have the MTHFR and protein S deficiency and that I had to take a special kind of prenatal, which stunk because I had just purchased a bunch of high quality prenatals off amazon that I can’t use. I was told by my OB to look for a prenatal with methyltetrahydrafolate. This ended up being a difficult task. I could hardly find anything but did eventually find the ritual brand. I was impressed with the clear capsules with the liquid contents where you could see the ingredients. The pill size was also tolerable as I was taking a prenatal previously that was like a horse pill. I also liked the idea of the pill flavoring as supplements can taste awful. I bought the citrus flavor and it didn’t leave any sort of an aftertaste. One thing I wasn’t crazy about was the price as $43 is pretty steep for once a month. I ended up getting the subscription and saving 15% and then I bought a bunch of bottles during cyber week for about $23 to hold me over for the duration of my pregnancy. They also make a postnatal, which from my understanding with the MTHFR gene I will need to take this form of folate for the rest of my life. I don’t recognize if I have any changes as to energy but I am in my last trimester so everything for me is low energy and I’m always tired. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. This is great for pregnant women/new moms like me that can’t process folic acid normally and need this other form.***UPDATE***I just wanted to update that I am still on this prenatal. It’s been almost 6 months that I’ve been on it and I continue to like taking it. Two capsules a day at night and nothing ever comes back up with an after taste. There’s nothing negative to report. I still recommend this brand and have bottles of the post natal lined up to take after the baby is born.****Final Update****I had the baby and switched over to the postnatal. At the moment the postnatal only comes in a mint flavor as the citrus is unavailable. I can’t say it’s my favorite flavor for a pill but the taste is pretty brief. I suggest this as a post step after birth for any ladies that need a good, comprehensive postnatal, which I have heard we all need for ourselves and for the babies (if you’re breast feeding).

Clean ingredients and easy to tolerate, according to my wife’s experience
My wife has been taking Ritual Essential for Women for several weeks now, and overall her experience has been positive. One of the main reasons she chose this multivitamin was the clean and transparent ingredient list. She likes that it’s vegan, free from unnecessary fillers, and focused on key nutrients rather than an overwhelming list of vitamins.The capsules are easy for her to swallow and have a light citrus scent, which makes them more pleasant compared to traditional vitamins. Most importantly, she hasn’t experienced any stomach discomfort, even when taking them without food, which has been an issue for her with other supplements in the past.That said, this is not a supplement that provides immediate or dramatic results. It feels more like long-term nutritional support rather than something you notice right away. The price is higher than average, which may be a factor to consider.Overall, based on her experience, this is a solid option for anyone looking for a high-quality, gentle, and well-formulated daily multivitamin.

Best prenatals I’ve tried so far
These are the best prenatals I tried so far. I really like the citrus coated option . The citrus option has been doing me well in the 1st trimester so far . It does have an aftertaste once they digest but I don’t mind it.

The Only Prenatal I Actually Enjoy Taking!
I’ve tried a few different prenatal vitamins, and Ritual is by far the best. I love that they are clean, vegan-friendly, and made with traceable ingredients — it gives me peace of mind knowing exactly what I’m putting into my body.The lemon-essence capsules are a huge plus! No gross vitamin aftertaste and definitely no nausea like I experienced with other brands. They’re easy to take, even on an empty stomach. I also appreciate that they include the key nutrients doctors recommend like folate, DHA, and choline — all in forms that are actually absorbed well.My energy has been more consistent since switching to these, and I feel so good knowing baby and I are getting the essentials every day. The subscription makes it super convenient too.If you want a high-quality prenatal that doesn’t make you dread taking it — Ritual is 100% worth the price!

Great but fish breath
Love the easy to take pill and mint flavor. I only give it a 4 star because the fish oil burps I get so I can only take these right before bed or I am nauseous all day with the fish breath

Good choice of prenatal vitamins
I really enjoy these ritual prenatal vitamins. They do NOT have an awful taste and smell like delicious lemongrass. The pills are not too big to swallow. I did not experience an upset stomach. My hair has grown longer and my nails stronger. It helps my energy level to stay constant throughout the day. They help to keep my vitamin levels at a normal range. I would recommend them ! I wish the cost was more affordable as they are higher priced compared to other brands.

Awful burps and reflux
I used these for my 1st pregnancy back in 2020, and never had any issues. But this go around is rough! I’ve tried taking these in the morning, afternoon, and even at night and nothing will get rid of the awful burps and acid reflux these bring on! I have only tried the lemon, and was going to do the Mint next but decided against it. Really sucks I couldn’t make these work.

Prenatal & postnatal vitamin
I came across this prenatal when I was pregnant with my second child. I loved the idea that is it a medium size capsule that is very easy to swallow. This vitamin contains many of the things I wanted included in a prenatal (sufficient amount of folic acid, fish oil, etc.). My favorite is the lemon flavor. I can say from experience it is possible to take these while having significant morning sickness/nausea. The fish oil from the supplement does give it a little bit of a lingering aftertaste. However, it is not nearly as bad as other probiotics I have tried. Overall quality is an A+. I have been so impressed with the prenatal that I am now using their postnatal vitamins.
