Rite Aid Prenatal Tablets with Folic Acid

Pregnant women need increased folic acid and vitamin A in the safer form of beta-carotene to help prevent birth defects. Rite Aid Prenatals has 800 mcg of folic acid, and 100 percent of its 4,000 IU of vitamin A is from beta-carotene. Consumers say the pill is large, but is easy to swallow and doesn't cause stomach upset. If you aren't pregnant, reviews suggest One-A-Day Women's (*Est. $7 for 50 tablets) for premenopausal women because it has 18 mg of iron and 400 mcg of folic acid.

Rite Aid Prenatal Tablets with Folic Acid has been tested and approved by ConsumerLab.com, meaning it includes the nutrients claimed, dissolves properly and doesn't contain excess lead. ConsumerReports.org and a number of other expert sources say you can count on acceptable quality with any brand-name or store-label multivitamins. We found helpful user reviews at NutritionalTree.com, most of which are positive and indicate a minimal degree of stomach upset. Not all women face the same degree of nausea with any multivitamin, so your experience may vary.
