Nutritional needs change throughout pregnancy to match your baby's development. Perelel stands out for its stage-specific prenatals developed by obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine doctors to meet the needs of each pregnancy stage."I really love Perelel," Chapin told us. "They have been so thoughtful and evidence-based with their ingredients. Their trimester-specific nutrients have adequate amounts of thyroid-supporting nutrients (which can be taxed during pregnancy) and also consider things like anti-nausea."IngredientsAll three trimesters, to different degrees, cover the full range of ingredients recommended by ACOG. The 1st Trimester Prenatal Pack includes an additional folate capsule to support neural development as well as a higher B6 and ginger capsule to help ease pregnancy nausea and morning sickness. Their 2nd Trimester Prenatal Pack contains added calcium and magnesium capsules to ease muscle cramps and build your growing baby’s strong teeth and bones. As you near the end of your pregnancy, the third-trimester pack includes a probiotic for gut health.It would be great if this prenatal provided increasingly more iron as the trimesters progress, which might help counteract mom’s naturally declining blood iron levels. Instead, you’ll get 15 milligrams in each trimester. That said, the Perelel pills are formulated with ferrous bisglycinate, the gentle form of iron, and our tester didn't experience any side effects. We also appreciate that the supplement has undergone third-party testing. Better yet, Perelel does "triple testing" (raw material testing, production testing, and third party testing)," says Chapin. Plus, it’s formulated with high-quality ingredients, including vitamin A from beta carotene and wild-caught anchovies and sardines for DHA and EPA.How easy was it to take?These pills come in pre-portioned sachets that are great for travel and helping ensure you swallow everything you need for the day without counting doses or remembering what to take.While the prenatal left Janelle with burps reminiscent of
