Rainbow Light Prenatal DHA Vitamins for Women | 60 Softgels

This was great! Seems to be good ingredients, and this brand’s vitamins always make me feel good. The regular prenatal vitamin (which I do take despite its drawbacks) is humongous and tastes terrible. This pill is smaller, smoother, and tastes kind of good.

I have been taking these as my DHA supplement since 2016, and have had them on my subscribe and save since then with a monthly delivery. Back in 2019 my delivery suddenly changed from the larger dark pills to the smaller easier to swallow white pills. It had a "New & Inproved" picture on the label and the entire bottle was different. I was happy with the new design and didn't think much of it. Since then it is seemingly random which pills I would get each month with my delivery, and both bottles claim to be a new and improved design. At first I thought "oh, they must just have some old stock still and I just got lucky last time." But it has been over a year and this is still happening. I almost never get the same type two months in a row. I decided to post a review with comparison for everyone to see what the differences are. I will only list the parts that are not the same in each pill but have posted photos for comparison of each. The white pills were my delivery for August 2020 expiration date 02/23. The dark (older style) was my delivery for September 2020 expiration date 02/22. Obvious differences are the style of the pill, design of bottle. View photos for this. Dark pills are the older design copyright 2014. It is formulated and distributed out of Santa Cruz, CA (USA) but is manufactured in Colombia. There are a lot more ingredients as well as extra nutritional facts. Differences in labels: Vitamin E (as d-alpha Tocopheryl) 30IU Choline (as Bitartrate) 50mg Purified deep sea fish oil 416mg Omega 3 fatty acids- DHA is same However Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is only 33mg Mixed tocopherols 20mg (this is however listed as an ingredient on the other type but without an amount) Orange peel essential oil 15mg. Ingredients differences: soybean oil, yellow beeswax, silica, lecithin (soy), ascorbyl palmitate. Gelatin, natural caramel color, natural orange oil, zinc oxide, carob(?) Contains: anchovy, sardine, mackerel, and/or wild sustainable deep sea pacific ocean tuna. White pills differences: These are copyright 2019 (new design) and are manufactured in Sunrise, FL (USA) These have a much more simple list. EPA is a higher amount at 57mg. No nutritional info besides the omega 3 fats. Ingredients differences: Highly refined fish oil (anchovy) -this is the ONLY fish listed for this formula. This is probably the largest differences in the formula IMO. Soft gel shell - modified starch This is also where the natural mixed tocopherols are listed as a preservative but with no amount. I personally prefer the style of the white pills and find them less odorous and easier to swallow. I do wish they varied their sources a bit but it is manufactured in the USA which likely causes issues. It drives me insane that I keep getting both types randomly. I understand there may be different amounts at different distribution hubs and it may just be old stock - but this has been going on for over a year now. "FIRST IN FIRST OUT" goes through my head every time I get a shipment. Perhaps they are still having both types manufactured at this time. Who knows. With that said, there is quite the difference between the two and If I were buying this for a specific ingredient reason I would be very upset if I received the wrong type. (For instance, the white pills do not seem to have any soy ingredients which many people have issues with.)

No fish burps!!! I am so happy. I finally found this brand that gives me the DHA my baby needs without giving me any fish burps. I had no idea that was even a thing until I got pregnant and started taking DHA pills. I tried two different brands before getting on this one so I must be super sensitive to the side effects but the Rainbow Light brand didn’t give me any weird side effects. I do take my supplements at night before bed. They are small in size and super easy to swallow. I usually have a hard time swallowing pills, but this one is the easiest of the three other supplements I’m taking. If you have a hard time swallowing pills, I highly recommend trying chocolate milk or regular milk (if you like milk) versus water. For some reason that has made it so much easier for me to swallow pills, but again- no issues with this one at all. I trust the quality of this brand and very happy with it.

They were good for what i needed

Not sure why some women are freaking out and giving only one star. Doctor recommended I take a DHA pill with my prenatals. This one has been great so far. I've been using this for 5 months now. There is a fishy smell but it is fish oil so what else would you expect? Goes down easy and there is no aftertaste or upset stomach.

I bought this with the Prenatal One Vitamins Rainbow Light Prenatal One Multivitamin, 150-Count Bottle (that I did not like) since the Prenatal didn't come with DHA. My doctor said she wasn't sure if I should take this because it also has 100% 30IU Vitamin E and there are concerns about taking too much of that, but she hadn't heard anything from the main doctor of the office about it being bad so I took it at the end of my pregnancy. She told me to take it when I had the baby while breast feeding if I am really concerned but that I should just buy a cheaper one from the store that comes with DHA already. This one has a big purple/reddish black pill that smells a little like oranges. It made me sick taking it but that could also have been from the Prenatal One vitamins because the smell and taste of those was too much for me.

I’ve been on these for a few years. Good! Size is good, there’s no taste.

Absolutely LOVE these prenatal vitamins!! Started out with some basic ones from the store and just didn’t feel like I was getting enough out of them while I was pregnant with my first child. I saw a mom I follow on IG said she swore by these, and never had morning sickness, while she took these with all 4 of her kids so I decided to switch since these had a lot more vitamins in them.. And they seemed to be great! I took them the entire pregnancy and while I was breastfeeding and never had any issues. I never had morning sickness either, cannot say if these helped with that or not. But if I get pregnant again I will absolutely be taking these Rainbow Light vitamins again!
