Rainbow Light Prenatal One Multivitamin, Folic Acid, Calcium, & Vitamin D, Gluten Free, Supports from Conception to Postnatal, Clinically Proven Absorption, 150 Tablets

Side by side comparison between Rainbow Light and IntraNaturals prenatal vitamins. I am not a nutrition expert by any means but I have been taking a prenatal vitamin for about four years between ttc, being pregnant, nursing, ttc again, and now in my second pregnancy so I have done a lot of research on them. My top two prenatal vitamins have been Rainbow Light and IntraNaturals so here is a side by side comparison of the two.Both have very similar vitamin and mineral amounts (many are the exact same amounts). IntraNaturals has more Vit D which I am always low on, while Rainbow Light has more iron. Some pregnant women have trouble with their iron levels getting low but mine are always good so extra iron just binds me up (probably a little too much info but worth noting). A couple other vitamins have slightly different amounts but those were the two that affect me the most during pregnancy.Both brands have a probiotic blend added which is a must and I even use another separate probiotic because pregnancy takes a toll on your digestive and immune system (your gut health has a large impact on your immune system!). IntraNaturals has ten probiotic strains listed and Rainbow Light only has one but I am not sure which has a higher cfu count as only Rainbow Light has listed theirs (25,000,000CFU). Generally I would say it is better to have a variety or probiotics though I wish I knew how many were in there. Both also contain an enzyme blend which I desperately need during pregnancy (like I said my digestive system needs a lot of help during this time). Intranaturals wins this category as well as they include six different enzymes (at 100mg) while Rainbow Light only has four (at 24mg). I have also noticed that if I take my Rainbow Light and don’t eat right away I get sweaty and nauceous but I have been able to take my Intranaturals without that happening. Not normally a problem but sometimes when helping a toddler in the morning I don’t always eat right when I think I will!The last section would be Rainbow Light’s prenatal blend vs IntraNaturals organic fruit and vegetable powders. Rainbow Light contains a 90mg prenatal blend that includes red raspberry leaf extract, ginger, and organic spirulina. These are all good things during pregnancy and I actually have tried drinking red raspberry tea in the third trimester. Instead of this blend, IntraNaturals has organic beet root, carrot root, spinach leaf, broccoli leaf, collards leaf, blueberry fruit, raspberry, pomegranate, cucumber, ginger root, cabbage leaf, blackberry, cherry, and cranberry fruit powder (totaled up to 300mg). Now neither of these are going to replace eating your fruits and veggies but I like the extra nutritional support!The pills themselves are similar in size with the Rainbow Light pill being slightly larger. I have never had troubles swallowing pills so that doesn’t matter much to me and both have a natural smell. They just smell like vitamins to me but if you are used to taking coated vitamins that don’t have a smell you might want to be aware.Overall both of these are good vitamins though IntraNaturals actually comes out ahead for me! The extra vitamin D with only 100% instead of 167% of the daily iron are big for me! Plus the IntraNaturals doesn’t bother my stomach at all if I get caught up in something and don’t eat immediately afterwards. I also like the variety in their enzyme, probiotic and fruit and veggie blends as it seems a little more well rounded. That said, Rainbow Light definitely comes out ahead price-wise as you get 150 pills for the price of 60 of the IntraNaturals. I would feel confident taking either of these prenatals so they both get five stars from me. I am not a nutritional expert and if you have nutrition questions I suggest asking your nutritionist or doctor but I hope my review was helpful!

The best prenatal available. This is the only prenatal vitamin that does not make me sick. Actually, the only vitamin period! I take this even when I am not pregnant!

Good quality product. I have taken these pills for almost a year and definitely notice a difference in how much energy I have since I am getting more of the nutrients. The flavor isn’t the best but not bad for what all is in it, and same with the size. I don’t love swallowing a large pill but it’s worth it for the health benefits!
