Perelel 2nd Trimester Prenatal Pack, Multivitamin with Magnesium, Omega 3, Iron & Calcium, Nutritional Support for Second Trimester Wellness, Soy & Gluten Free, Non GMO, 30 Daily Pill Packs

They are worth it even if the smell is not great. Based off my research these were one of the safe ones. I just don’t breathe in with my nose when I take them. Makes a huge difference. I read someone else say freeze them for a little bit beforehand and the smell is gone, but haven’t tried that. They never make me feel nauseous or any weird symptoms. Now do I wish they were more affordable for pregnant women? Yes. Spending $60 a month is killing me, but have to do it for my baby.

I used this brand for both of my pregnancies, and I am pretty sure their conception pack is what helped me get pregnant both times! I love the quality of their vitamin packs and how easy it is to get all of the things I need per pouch. Three years ago they had a very strong smell and taste so I had to switch to gummies, but I believe they reformulated and it’s SO MUCH BETTER. I have no stomach issues this time around and they have minimal smell and taste. I personally think they are worth the investment!

Ordered the 3rd trimester pack and the pills smelled horrible. I took them anyway and three days after I started taking them, my feet and hands started itching terribly at night. It got so bad that my doctor ordered blood tests to discard cholestasis! The results came negative for cholestasis and that’s how we tracked the itching down to the prenatals. Stopped taking them and the itch stopped that same night.

Juggling the joys (and let's be honest, discomforts) of the third trimester can be overwhelming. I gave Perelel a try after seeing my friend rave about it at our yoga class, and I’m now on my 3rd-trimester :) First and foremost, let's talk about the packaging. These individual packs are perfect for throwing in your purse. It's such a lifesaver for busy moms like us, and the portability makes it easy to stay on track with my routine no matter where the day takes me. Also maybe it's a small detail, but for someone like me who fumbles with packaging sometimes, I loved how easy Perelel's sachets were to open. No more wrestling with those impossible pill pouches or resorting to teeth. Now, onto the contents. The pack includes a curated selection of prenatal vitamins and supplements with premium ingredients, all formulated to support the unique needs of the third trimester. Unlike other brands I've tried, Perelel's vitamins are gentle on the stomach, which is a godsend for someone like me who struggles with nausea. Plus, knowing that I'm getting the essential nutrients necessary for my baby's development gives me peace of mind. I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being since incorporating Perelel into my daily routine. My energy levels have increased, my mood has stabilized, and I've experienced fewer aches and pains. I wholeheartedly recommend the Perelel products to any expecting mother in her final stretch of pregnancy!

I like that these are tailored to each specific trimester, as nutritional needs can change depending on how far along you are. There is a slight fish taste, but if taken with a flavored beverage instead of water, then it quickly goes away. They also didn’t make me nauseous or give me a stomach ache like some brands have done. I like that they are made with good quality ingredients too.

Ok, so I take these sometimes while pregnant so I can be off biotin for 7 or 10 days (is it?) before thyroid tests. That way biotin doesn't skew my results. I am thus grateful for these. Also, after reading claims about links between high B vitamins and autism, I appreciate that the dosages are way below some other brands. Plus I appreciate the fish oil. That said, I wish some components--like choline, which is so important for brain development/memory--were higher, though I try to eat a nutrient dense diet. So often the ideal amount of prenatal vitamins is stated to be quite high, while our soil doesn't have as many nutrients as it did 100 years ago, and real diets aren't always perfect (perhaps especially at the hardest points of pregnancy!!)... These are quite expensive compared to other brands. And they really do stink and taste bad. Since I've taken lots of food-based (smelly!) vitamins, I didn't make as much of review claims before trying these. So I was surprised to find how strong they are, even if I swallowed them ASAP with lots of water, and how the taste sometimes came back. If I didn't have thyroid disease, and other vitamins weren't so high in B vitamins, I would not buy these. As it is, I'm grateful for them.

Got this for my girl and honestly… this pack has been clutch. First trimester is no joke. One minute she’s fine, next minute she’s side-eyeing the fridge like it personally offended her. I like that this formula is actually built for early pregnancy. Folate, vitamin D, omega-3, iron, plus ginger. The ginger is a hero ingredient. If you know, you know. Anything that helps with nausea automatically earns respect in this house. She says it’s gentle on her stomach, which is huge. No extra nausea. No weird aftertaste. Pills are manageable and not those giant “are you serious?” horse tablets. I also appreciate that it comes organized in a daily pack. Less guesswork. Less “wait, did you take this one?” energy. We already have enough going on. Overall, solid product. She feels good taking it. I feel good knowing she’s covered. Baby’s in there building a brain, I’m out here building snack runs. Would definitely recommend if you want something made specifically for the first trimester.

These prenatals had me feeling sick to my stomach!! Yes, first trimester symptoms typically entail nausea, headaches and fatigue. But after 2 days of taking these, I was feel miserable! The worst part is the price and the absence of the ability to return. Steer clear!
