Pregnacare Original Liquid 200 ml

I'm annoyingly incapable of swallowing capsules and tablets, so seeing the pregnancy vitamin leading brand offering a liquid version helped me to get in those important nutrients early on. I don't agree that this liquid tasted like orange – rather, the orange taste is there to mask the taste of iron (metallic), but I don't find it does a very good job. I had a pretty average experience with morning sickness for the first 3 months. I was vomiting every other day to two days in a row with the odd break. This liquid is quite harsh on the stomach, and if you're quite sensitive to scents and vomiting due to taste, like many are during pregnancy, this may be a difficult product to take. Having said that, this didn't make me vomit after taking it, unless I had an empty stomach. I got quite good at understanding that if I chugged a bottle of water shortly after waking, I would generally throw it up (much more pleasant than bringing other liquids/solids up), and then I ate something and took this not long after. At that point in my pregnancy I was only ever sick at most maybe 3 times a day. After figuring this out, I had never brought it back. Everyone will be different and various scents and tastes will trigger different people, so on that basis, I think it's worth a try. I think it's good value for money, especially when it is on offer, and it generally feels like you're doing a good thing by taking it. I would take this using a standard medicine spoon. It has a good consistency, not too liquidy, but not too thick. Very easy to take, but not the best in terms of lingering taste. Overall, I preferred this to gummies, which may be a good alternative to others if they don't get on with this product. Another alternative would be to take a standalone vitamin of folic acid for the first 12 weeks and then add in a vitamin D supplement. One thing I absolutely do recommend though, is iron and b12. I stopped taking this in the later months and did end up with iron deficiency anemia and low b12, simply due to just being pregnant, but often wonder if this might have helped stabilise my numbers a little better.

Flavour not too bad. But do get a taste of Metallic once swallowed. Not too thick which easy to go down. Always keep in fridge once opened.

Take this if you struggle with any tablets. When I was pregnant I had horrible sickness, I still threw up from this sometimes or feel like I would but it was much easier than taking a tablet.

Much better than taking tablets but would not advise to take if you're suffering from nausea or vomiting during your pregnancy as my wife said the taste wasn't nice at all. She said the consistency of the formula is smooth but taste like metallic orange. As the formula is very dark in colour, she noticed it stains her lips, tongue and teeth a darker colour after use, but does eventually go away. There is also a lingering taste after you use it which she really didn't enjoy at all. However, despite this, she would recommend it if you want an alternative from the tablets as it still give you the nutrients you need, but is easy to swallow. 4/5

I will rate this 100% it’s very easy to use and it has a nice taste , I don’t like to take tablet that is why I go for liquid

Good

I don’t know who decided this was classed as unflavoured but it is honestly awful. It tastes like drinking pure iron.

I decided to get this particular type as i tend to struggle swallowing tablets and this one also tastes far better (like a sweet orange flavour syrup) and isn't too overpowering or have the weird aftertaste of the vitamins (like that powdery taste) and will definitely buy again, many thanks!

I’ve been talking prenatal gummies from a different company that I felt really wasn’t beneficial but simply going through the motions so that I can say “yes I’m taking my prenatal vitamins, eye roll”. I was on YouTube seeking for a video of “what to take during pregnancy to give baby healthy glowing skin”. Pregnacare was suggested so I figured why not. I started taking it three days ago and I can honestly say my body feels like I’m actually giving my baby something beneficial rather than just taking something. Also the taste doesn’t bother me but that could be because I’m used to drinking not so tasty things daily, such as black seed bitters, apple cider vinegar or shots of liquor before pregnancy. Therefore a little orange flavor is really no big deal. Especially if it helps to give me a juicy fluffy baby.

Not sure how to describe the taste it has all the vitamins I need and l love the cost will update more since I just start to use it

I don't like tablets and this was a great alternative. Taste was great and easy to use.

Product arrived on time, as described and great price.

Such an important supplement, I ordered it in time for my refill but I never got it!
