About this tool

This is an independent comparison tool for prenatal vitamins. It currently covers 66 products tracked, 62 currently available, across 30 brands. It exists to answer one question: what is actually in each product, and what does it cost? Nothing on this site is a recommendation, a ranking, or an endorsement.

Who maintains this

Hi — I'm Carissa. I'm a Registered Nurse and a mom of two, and I built this site because I couldn't find what I wanted when I was choosing a prenatal myself: a plain comparison of what's actually in each bottle, without a sponsored roundup deciding for me.

Every product here has been checked personally against the manufacturer's own Supplement Facts panel — not copied from another review site, and not taken from marketing copy. Where a figure couldn't be confirmed, I leave the field blank and record why rather than filling it with a best guess.

My nursing background is why the site is built this way. Reading a label accurately, and knowing the difference between a claim and a verified fact, is most of the work. I have been taking prenatal vitamins for years, so I know which details actually matter when you're standing in the pharmacy aisle.

It is not the basis for a recommendation. This site doesn't tell you which prenatal to take, and being a nurse doesn't make it appropriate for me to advise you personally — that conversation belongs with your own provider, who knows your history.

How the data is sourced

• Nutrient amounts are taken from each product's published Supplement Facts panel or official brand product page.
• Cost per month is worked out from the one-time price of the product's base pack, normalized to 30 days using the pack count and the serving size on the product's own label. It is never a subscription rate, a first-purchase bundle, or a promotional price. Where a product sells in more than one pack size, each pack's one-time price is listed on the product detail page. Some brands also offer a subscription; where they do, the product description says so, but the figure shown here is always the one-time price.
• Testing and certification claims reflect what the brand publishes on its label or site. "Third-party tested" means a testing or certification body is named; it is not our own assessment of quality.
• Every product record stores a source URL and a "data last verified" date, both shown on the product detail page.

How we handle missing data

Some values could not be confirmed from public sources. Where that affects price — for example store brands whose price varies by location — we show "Check with retailer" rather than $0, and those products are excluded from price sorting and price-range filtering instead of being ranked as the cheapest. Discontinued products show "Discontinued" instead. In nutrient fields, a 0 means the product genuinely contains none of that nutrient. Products with nutrient gaps carry a small unverified indicator so you know the gap is in our data, not the product.

How folate forms are normalized

Brands print folate very differently — "L-5-MTHF", "Optifolin+", "Calcium L-5-MTHF", "Methylfolate" — even when the underlying form is the same. For filtering we map each product into one of four categories: Methylated, Folic acid, Both, or Whole-food folate. The exact label wording is always preserved and shown on the product detail page.

How allergen claims are read

Each allergen field records only what the label or brand page states. “Yes” means an explicit free-from claim, “No” means the ingredient is present, and “Not stated” means the label is silent — it is not a claim that the product is free of it. Filtering on an allergen shows only products labeled “Yes”, so anything unstated is excluded rather than assumed safe.

Fish-free here means no fish-derived ingredients. Some products are certified free of fish allergens while still containing highly refined fish oil, which is exempt from US allergen labeling. Those are recorded as not fish-free, because that is what most people filtering for it intend.

Kits versus standalone products

Some entries are standalone multivitamins; others are multi-product daily kits that bundle a multivitamin plus separate DHA, iron or probiotic capsules. These are not equivalent purchases, so the product type is always labeled on cards and in the comparison view, and it is available as a filter so you can compare like with like.

Independence

No brand pays to be listed here, and no brand pays for placement, ordering or filtering. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Most links here are not affiliate links at all. Which products appear, how they are ordered, and what the data says about them are decided from the published labels and verified prices — never from whether a commission is available. See the Affiliate Disclosure page.

Medical disclaimer

This site provides factual product information for comparison purposes only. We do not provide personalized nutrition or medical advice. This site is built by a Registered Nurse, but nothing here is a clinical assessment of you, and using this site does not create a nurse-patient relationship. Talk to your obstetric provider, midwife or pharmacist about which prenatal suits your situation — particularly if you have a diagnosed deficiency, are managing anemia, or take other medication.
