I’ve been taking Thorne Prenatal Vitamins for several months now, and I’m really happy with them. These pills are easy on my stomach (no nausea or discomfort), and I feel confident knowing they use clean, well-absorbed ingredients without unnecessary fillers. No nasty taste or acid reflux with these. I still take them postpartum Read more

I wanted to like this vitamin but I've taken them two days in a row and vomited shortly after. I can't bear the smell of the vitamins even before the bottle gets opened. I'm disappointed as I spent money on these vitamins and can't even finish them. Update: I'm adjusting my rating for the excellent customer service and quick response. I am willing to try different products from their line when I am no longer pregnant. 5/26/25 postpartum update: I decided to give the prenatal vitamin another chance because I really like the ingredients and that this brand does 3rd party testing. I'm able to better tolerate the smell. I do notice my milk supply increases when I take the vitamin and my milk is lower in supply when I forget to take it, not sure if it's a coincidence or if it actually helps boost supply. I am happy with the vitamin and will continue to use Thorne! Read more

I've been taking these for 1.5 years. I took them my entire pregnancy and then continued through my breastfeeding journey. I'll say this: I definitely notice when I stop taking them. I feel so lethargic and slow when I've skipped a few days. Most recently I didn't have them for about 2 weeks becauase my subscription got messed up and I can feel the nutrients depleting from me... I'm not even being dramatic. I generally eat a well rounded, nourishing diet but (like any American) I have gaps. This supplement does a great job filling those gaps. My only thing is that they really don't smell good. During my first trimester it took all of my effort to get past the smell and get them down. But now that I'm used to it, it's alright. All in all, I would definitely recommend these to any pregnant or nursing mama. Read more

Was taking this for a couple months before conceiving and then during the pregnancy before it was lost. I do think it is a good quality prenatal that gave me extra energy which was very much appreciated, but I did some more research and decided to go with a different option that fit my needs better- you can find that information below. I did notice some stomach upset at the beginning, but it went away after a few days. The main reason I ended up getting off of it, was due to wicked constipation. Could this have been due to the pregnancy itself? Possibly. I stopped taking this around the time I miscarried and switched to another option out there. The main reason I give it so many stars was because of the energy it gave me, but that's ultimately why I decided to switch because there is conflicting information on the internet regarding the high dose of vitamin B in here. I'll just stress that everyone needs to do their own research and it's not the best choice for everyone. Read more

I’ve been using the THORNE Basic Prenatal while preparing for pregnancy and throughout early pregnancy, and I’m very impressed with its quality. It includes a well-researched form of folate, which is crucial for fetal development, along with 18 essential vitamins and minerals plus choline. I appreciate how this supplement supports my overall health as well as my baby’s development. The capsules are easy to take, and I have not experienced any side effects. This product gives me confidence in my prenatal nutrition and is definitely worth the investment for pregnant and nursing women. Highly recommended! Read more

Only prenatal that keeps me from nausea and migraines! Read more

I’ve been taking Thorne Basic Prenatal for a while now, and I can definitely say the quality is excellent. It has everything I need during pregnancy — especially the active forms of folate, iron, and B vitamins. I trust the brand and feel confident that I’m getting clean, effective ingredients. However, I have to mention the smell. The pills have a very strong odor — almost like penicillin or antibiotics. At first, I thought something was wrong with my bottle, but after some research, I found out it’s totally normal. It’s caused by the high levels of B vitamins (especially B1 and B2), folate, and iron — all of which have naturally strong smells. Also, I noticed that my urine becomes bright yellow and smells like the vitamins, especially in the first half of the day. Again, this is a normal effect of riboflavin (vitamin B2) being excreted, but it can be surprising if you’re not expecting it. If you’re sensitive to smells like me, I recommend: • Taking the vitamins with food • Drinking extra water • Being mentally prepared for the odor 😅 I’m still finishing the bottle because the formula is solid and well-balanced, but I wish they could find a way to improve the smell. That’s the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Read more
