Prenatal supplements sometimes need to include a long list of ingredients to make sure they can deliver the nutrients an expecting mother needs to keep her and her baby healthy. But sometimes squeezing all these ingredients into one pill makes for a tablet too big to swallow, and not everything is necessary.
To address this need a company called Rainbow Light has released a supplement called Prenatal Petite. This product contains a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals but is not difficult to swallow and is easy on the throat going down. Every serving is three pills, which some people might find inconvenient but that’s the price you have to pay to avoid a giant horse pill.
Is Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite the best pill for you? If you are in the first trimester, and your gag reflex isn’t quite equipped to swallow those “horse pills” offered by other companies, you will probably want to read on to see how effective this petite pill will be.

Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite

Besides being easy to swallow, Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite comes with a very effective blend. Some highlights in the formula we noticed were that it used 800mcg of folic acid, 800 iu of Vitamin D, and generous helping of several digestive aids. With more than enough folic acid, Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite helps prevent birth defects that affect the spine and brain.
Vitamin D also helps reduce the risk of premature delivery. Digestive aids help the body break down and absorb Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite more easily. The enzymes in Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite help prevent indigestion and constipation sometimes associated with other supplements.
Unlike some prenatal supplements we’ve seen, Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite uses plenty of calcium and iron. Iron is important in order for babies get the proper amount of oxygen from their mother’s blood. Calcium is also necessary to protect mothers against bone loss. If not enough calcium is available to form the fetus’ bones, the body will break down the mother’s bones to get the materials the baby needs.

Conclusion

Overall, we were very impressed with Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite’s formula. It comes with calcium and iron, an area in which a lot of other prenatal supplements fall short. In fact, it’s one of the best products in this category that we have reviewed so far.
But getting a higher quality supplement comes with a price. Rainbow Light Prenatal Petite will cost you a few dollars more than the typical prenatal supplement. It is still a worthwhile supplement, especially when you consider that this small pill is all you will need to keep your baby’s development on track and make prenatal vitamins as convenient for yourself as possible.
