Great Prenatal
I just completed the entire bottle of prenatal so I feel ready to review them! (I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant) I have a very sensitive stomach and when taking these I didn’t have any issues with stomach upset, digestive changes or nausea. I’m not a huge fan of how expensive they are but most prenatal vitamins are expensive so I bit the bullet due to the clean ingredients. I got the citrus flavor and they taste/smell like lemon which I liked. If you take them WHEN you’re eating or directly after you can avoid the fishy burps, BUT if you take them too long after you ate the burps are vile. It’s a fishy- musty taste that is disgusting. The only thing that has me in limbo about purchasing again is the color change. I did not have anything super drastic like I see in the other reviews but they do darken over time. It says not to store them in direct sunlight, which I did not but over the month they did darken a bit. I’m pretty curious as to why that happens. Besides that I am very happy with these vitamins.UPDATING: so I’ve been taking these vitamins for quite some time. I am four months postpartum and I’m still taking them as I am nursing my son I tried the mint and it was not for me, but I stick with the citrus and I have to say I love it. My stomach is no longer as sensitive as it was when I was pregnant, so I haven’t had one fishy burp or issue since I was pregnant. However, I do always take the vitamins after eating. I can honestly say that I have much better energy during the day when I take them and I do feel like they keep me regular. It’s definitely a staple and now I have them on recurring orders monthly. If you’re thinking about it I say you should give it a try!

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).

Tasteful Prenatal without the Nausea
I have tried other prenatals and none are as good as these. The taste is great, lemon, and they do not make you feel nauseous if you have not eaten yet because they are extended release. Also, you don’t have to take 8 in order to get the nutrients, you take two which is so easy. It has all the essential needs for pregnancy . I started taking them before I became pregnant and felt great about the effectiveness and natural ingredients. The texture is perfect, they are perfect size you don’t feel like you’re having to choke them down. My energy level has escalated since I started these and I have never been happier knowing my baby and I are getting everything we need.

Constipating
Product was good, I took it for 1st and half of 2nd trimester and have no real issue. But I found the vitamins content a little limited and the iron in it was constipating.

Great prenatal, don’t get the mint, get the citrus
I was influenced by the social media and great advertising to get this prenatal and this is my second bottle. However the first time around I did the citrus coating, and it was ok, no big complaints. As a side note, I get extremely nauseous in my first trimester and puke multiple times a day. Let me tell you, the Mint coating capsules are the worst thing I’ve ever choked down in my entire life. I hate it.Do not get the mint, just don’t do it. It’s a flavor that seriously stays with you for over 10 minutes and it doesn’t taste like mint. It’s more like a menthol taste that you can feel go down your throat. It’s awful. Just don’t do it…. Get the citrus….

Fish burp, oh well
So far so good. I like the citrusy smell they have. Yes, you get fishy burps a few hours after consumption. Get over it, it’s one of the many sacrifices we make for our babies. And trust me, I eat no seafood and highly dislike (hate) all fish/seafood! It is totally tolerable.

Tasty Nutrition
I’ve been taking Ritual’s prenatals for years. They taste great, are easy to swallow, and don’t upset my stomach. I love the science of their capsule in capsule design and formula, including vitamins that are perfect for prenatal care and women’s bodies in general, filling gaps I know I have in my diet. The two-a-day pills are convenient and tasty. I’ll continue to be a Ritual customer for sure.
