Comprehensive and Trusted Prenatal Supplement
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!

Smells
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!

High Quality PreNatal
The Thorne Basic Prenatal Vitamins are an excellent choice for pregnancy and beyond. The capsules are easy to swallow and gentle on the stomach, even for those with morning sickness or sensitive digestion. I appreciate the high-quality ingredients and the fact that they’re free from unnecessary fillers and artificial additives.I’ve noticed a positive difference in my energy levels and overall wellness since starting these. They’re also well-balanced, providing key nutrients like folate and iron that are essential during pregnancy.If you’re looking for a clean, trusted prenatal supplement, these are absolutely worth it!

Great quality – smells a little!
Great prenatals with great ingredients! I feel confident taking these through my current pregnancy and plan to continue to take Thorne postpartum as well. If you are sensitive to taking pills/smells bother you, they don’t smell the best and there were a few nights in my first trimester where I couldn’t stomach to take them. Overall, they’re great and I’d recommend!

Decent Product – Not For Everyone
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.

Great prenatal (great hair growth)
Had a bad reaction to OTHER prenatals so my OB recommended these (which she took during her pregnancy), and I think they’re great. It’s annoying/expensive to ALSO have to order DHA/omega3 on the side, but can’t complain because it’s been working great. I stopped taking nutrofol bc these have been having the same effect. I’ve never had issues swallowing pills so taking a few here doesn’t bother me. Also haven’t noticed any smell that other reviewers mention.

THE BEST PRENATAL
Been using these since I got pregnant last October and love them! Take 3 each night before I go to sleep. I have had no side effects and have energy throughout the day. What’s best about these is they give you all the vitamins you need AND the best part… my hair is growing like crazy!

4/5 Great quality, but the smell is hard to handle!
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.

The product is fine but don’t bother ordering from iherb. They will cancel your order and only inform you of this 4-5 days later. It’s better to order from another vendor.

I tried it for 3 days and threw it the full pack in the bin after feeling sick every day once taking it. The smell and taste came back up for hours
