‘I’m an OB/GYN. Here’s My Honest Opinion on Perelel Prenatal Vitamins’
Growing a baby is like running a marathon—your body is working extra hard for a long period of time, so it needs additional nutrition to make it through. That’s where prenatal vitamins come into play. They provide nutrients like folic acid, iron, calcium, and other vitamins to help support a healthy pregnancy, which is why both the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend taking them.
Here, we’ll review Perelel’s prenatal vitamins, including its first-, second-, and third-trimester supplements, which aim to offer targeted nutrients to support each stage of a person’s pregnancy. We tapped Karen Toubi, MD, a board-certified OB/GYN unaffiliated with Perelel, to take a look at the ingredients and help us determine whether the brand is a good choice.
