Side by Side Comparison of: Potent Organics vs Nature Made

I bought these for my wife. They arrived quickly and were exactly what we expected. She likes the quality and that they are organic. We will definitely but more when she runs out.

As a vegetarian, it is sometimes difficult to find products made without gelatin. This product has quality ingredients and is made gelatin free.

I've been taking these prenatal vitamins for three weeks and I don't have any complaints. They haven't upset my stomache and I have pretty good energy levels all day.

Other prenatal vitamins i have taken have made me feel sick, these don't. I will definitely repurchase.

Love these......great prenatal vitamins. Easy to digest and great absorbtion

Awesome prenatal vitamins! I actually feel energized. Glad I made this great choice. Shipment was right on time and your concerns are very important to them. Great customer service skills!

I never got morning sickness/pregnancy induced vomiting, but initially I tried the prenatal gummies and they made me feel nauseous. These Nature Made pills are huge, but they have never made me nauseous. I take a big sip of water, then the pill, then more water and they go down easily. Plus, these are a whole lot cheaper than some other brands I've seen. I've repurchased these throughout my pregnancy and will continue to do so until I give birth and eventually finish breastfeeding.

These are giving me strong nails (the Target brand made them flaky and weak!), I feel good about what's in them, and they don't make me sick! One thing I will caution - do NOT throw away the capsule inside that is meant to keep the bottle aired out. I made that mistake and now these taste/smell kinda fishy. But they are still awesome, and it's just one icky swallow for a whole day of benefits :) I will continue to buy them!

I have been taking these for about a week now and I'm really enjoying it. I had been told that prenatal can be hard on your stomach at first, but I have not had any issues with these! Just be sure to follow the directions to take these with food! These pills are rather large too, that was a shock to me at first but I have not had issues actually swallowing them.

These are my favorite vitamins I've ever taken. The pill is a pretty decent size but it has a smooth coating so it isn't hard to swallow at all. I have a relatively sensitive stomach and have never had any issues with these. The affordable price is just the cherry on top for me. I've been using these vitamins for a while and will continue to do so.

i started to use these first when i got pregnant with my son, however; my nearby wallgreens discontinued the "nature Made" products on their shelves......so happy i found it here i get more vitamin softgels for way more less......

After trying a couple of different vitamins I was greatful to find one that didn't make me nauseous!! I can even take these without food and have no problem. They smelled slightly funky when first opened but that faded. I like the coating as well. Even though they are large they are still super easy to take.

I ordered the first bottle, i like it a lot then when it is empty.l reordered again. I know it the 2 nd bottle is very different from the 1st even when i open it. The tablet is very big difference.,the 2nd order got pimple in my back.l stop taking it and throw it away.

Good

I've ordered these twice now, the first bottle I got had the pink vitamins, which I liked. They were easy to swallow and didn't leave that weird after taste. My most recent bottle is not pink, they look more organic, but leave the typical powdery after taste that they didn't have before. I was using Rainbow Light prior to these and was breaking out like crazy. Since switching to these my skin is clearer than ever and I've had a lot more energy. I would definitely recommend them. I only docked a star because I actually preferred them when they were coated, like my first bottle.

I bought these vitamins on the recommendation from my OBGYN that I start taking a vitamin with DHA. Originally she had recommended something that was about 3X the cost and I was reluctant. I found these and they arrived quickly. Now I can't necessarily tell if they made my baby healthier or smarter, but they were a great value and went down my through quickly. The only drawback is the very fishy taste. If you can get past that (And the burps you'll have as a result of that), these are a wonderful alternative to the very expensive kinds!

I really like these pills at first since it contained DHA. However, after I got half way through the bottle it started to smell like fish. It also made me really sick towards the end of my pregnancy. If I ever got these again I would put them in the fridge next time. On the plus side my baby boy was born very health and very strong. He was able to pick his head up when he was just born. Also, he didn't lose any weight after he left the hospital. Maybe it was all the DHA that I took from these pills?

The last thing a pregnant woman wants is a prenatal vitamin that tastes like FISH. I'm sick enough as it is, thank you!Bummer because I thought I used these during my last pregnancy, but I remember (what I took) tasting the best out of several brands. Unless there was a change in formula, these aren't the ones. Maybe I can take these later on when I don't feel so yucky...

This became my prenatal vitamin during second trimester and it has been a great.I am giving 4 start only because I could not take this vitamin in my first trimester - I would throw up right away after taking it because it is a big too big.Once first trimester nauseas were over, I take this vitamin every day without any issues/ side effects. What I like about it is that it has DHA which was recommended by my doctor.

I bought these because the ones I used to buy (Rainbow brand) almost doubled in price! PROs: (1) Even though they are a bit bigger than the Rainbow ones (which I needed to cut in half), I can easily swallow them whole with food!!! (2) The price!!! CONs: They are big.

I have been taking these for over 3 years ( starting before I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, who is 27 months, and continuing while I was pregnant and nursing and then doing the same for my second daughter who is 3 months.) These are great for pregnant women, nursing women, or any woman who MAY become pregnant! You always want to be sure you have enough folic acid incase you are pregnant- complications from low levels could occur before you even know you are expecting. The pills are large but not difficult to swallow

Love the vitamins. The only down side is this batch does not have a coating covering the vitamin which makes it slightly harder to swallow vs the first batch I recieved.

I really don't like that these are bright pink. I was looking for other customer photos but did not see any. I would not have bothered to purchase these had I known they use artificial dyes. I try to eat as little food that has been artificially dyed as possible. Especially with some of the research that has found links between food dyes and hyperactivity in children and the bans on artificial food dyes in Europe. Dyes are not something I want in my daily vitamins and definitely not something I want my baby ingesting prenatally.I believe overall these vitamins are okay as long as you don't care that your vitamins are not organic. I thought I saw the "USDA Organic" logo on the bottle but I looked back over the order when I received the vitamins and realized it was the "Made in USA" logo. So that was my bad, I should have looked closer. Though, I don't understand why a company called "Potent Organics" does not offer organic prenatal vitamins.

The product I got does match the listing; however, a few of the capsules inside the bottle had burst. I'm guessing this may have happened in shipping. I have used this brand and type of vitamins for well over a year now, and never had a bottle like this. This made all of the capsules taste horrible - think strong fish oil taste right at bedtime.

Five stars for the first bottle I got but the second bottle smelled really strongly of fish. I dread opening it everyday and gag every time I take a pill. I don't know if the formula was changed or if I just got a lemon. Debating purchasing another bottle because I liked the first lot, but nervous that the next will also be fishy.

I can't tolerate these and had to throw them out. They caused horrible black, tarry diarrhea because of the excess iron. Why do they have 150% DV of iron? That's likely to make anyone sick!

Easy to swallow and an overall good vitamin, but I can't imagine taking it while actually pregnant and dealing with the nausea that goes with it because the taste and smell of fish is so strong! I'm taking them currently while we're trying, but if you suffer from nausea or are easily turned off by smells, I don't recommend this one.

I took these with my first pregnancy and was sick the whole time (might not have had anything to do with the vitamins, but did use a different kind for my second). It is nice only having to take one vitamin and get everything you need and there is no funny taste like some others.

While these are probably very good quality, they made my wife very nauseous. We have switched to an alternate brand and she is no longer experiencing nausea with her new prenatal vitamins.

Not happy with this purchase after doing more research on pregnancy vitamins. Folic acid is the cheapest form and not as healthy for mom and nbaby as higher quality form known as folate. Also overall not as many vitamins and minerals as should be in a prenatal multi. Price was good but I feel I get more value from my new prenatal Garden of Life Raw Prenatal. I threw this one in the trash.

I purchased this back in 2014 when I was looking for organic prenatal vitamin to get baby all vitamins he needed. Unfortunately that ended in a miscarriage. This product was ok, I had no issues swallowing them although they were on the larger side. I hate that they had pink dye / some sort of coloring. this product is not 100% organic. I recently switched over to rainbow light organics. hopefully my body will absorb those vitamins better than it did with these. the packaging also looked tacky, old and cheap. I did not finish the second month on these because I hated them. may work for you but never did for me.

If you struggle with morning sickness i wouldn't recommend this. HORRIBLE fishy taste and you belch fish for a long time afterward. In my2nd trimester now and otherwise morning sickness was gone, but i can't hardly handle to finish this bottle due to taste. It's worse than omega 3 tablets. Other than that, they've kept my baby healthy, so they do the job.

Update: loved these vitamins!After some use (several bottles over months), these vitamins made me terribly nauseous (I'm not prego or trying but loved the complete dha/vitamin combo) & fast hair/nail growth. Unable to continue taking the product with/without food/day or night.

Just a heads up. When they were first opened, they were fine. After about a month, there is a very strong fishy taste that happens in my mouth after taking the caplet. No way around it. Just have to take it fast then brush my teeth immediately. They also smell fishy. Guess it's from the DHA component.

I had to stop taking these because of the SMELL! Awful - beyond. And the smell rubs off on your hands no matter how briefly you touch these greasy pills. I bought different ones from Whole Food and am much happier.

I'm not sure about these, but this is my second bottle of these same vitamins. This batch smells gross - to the point I worried they were expired, but they say they're good until 12/2018. I can compare it to the first batch, those didn't smell! But they smell bad and are not enjoyable to choke down because of it.

Suuuuper bad indegestion and fish flavored burps after these vitamins. Thought it was just a bad batch my first bottle, but the next bottle was just as bad. And if I didn't eat a full meal and have lots of water as a chaser they made me super nauseous shortly after taking them. I switched to One A Day and have had much better results.P.S. I'm still in the trying-to-conceive stages, so the indegestion and nausea was not pregnancy related!

I ordered these and they arrived but super late. And delivered by a random guy in a normal car not in uniform. I thought that was strange. Then I opened them and they were very large pills/beige in color. I saw a pic someone posted and they were pink not beige. Did they change the formula I'm not sure. The expiration date was on bottom but very unclear like it was rubbed partially off. Anyone else have this experience? I'm very Leary to take these. All in all I will not be ordering these again.

I'm super disappointed in this product. It is labeled as 100% Natural by Potent Organics (R), but the vitamins themselves are bright pink. They are colored by pink by: polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol/macrogol, talc, erythrosine aluminum lake. I don't see why this is necessary or "natural". It could have been something else, but after taking them for 3 days, I developed a rash. Luckily, the company gave me a full refund, so they at least stand by their product and 100% money guarantee.

This product is misleading. You only get one bottle. The most expensive bottle of prenatals I've ever purchased.

No expiration date on the bottle.

These vitamins have a pink artificial coating on them. If you are looking for something natural I'd suggest you order something else.

I ordered these at the beginning of my pregnancy. They were just fine and didn't hurt my stomach. The pills themselves were bright pink with a smooth exterior.When I finished the first bottle, I ordered a second. I went through my amazon prime order history and ordered from the exact same listing (this one). When they arrived the packaging was the exact same. Everything looked the same. Until I opened the bottle. The pills were larger, shaped differently and beige with a rough exterior. They even smelled differently! (and do NOT question my sense of smell right now- it is totally on point). At first I figured- well they could have been manufactured at different times / places and that would explain the differences. So I took them anyways. After a few days I noticed decreased fetal movement. I was racking my brain thinking I must be eating something different, not drinking enough water, maybe I am being more active, maybe the movement is the same and its all in my head? Then I realized that the only thing I was doing differently was that the vitamins were different. So I stopped taking them. Fetal movement has increased dramatically. I don't know if the pills have anything to do with it. It could be that my child just had a few lazy days. But either way, it freaked me out!

I've been taking this for months, no problem. This last bottle I received reeks of foul smelling fish. Like seriously foul, rotting fish. So much so that the bottle has been closed now for 10 minutes, and it's still all I can smell.I called customer service (lovely quick service!) to confirm that the pills are safe to ingest, she informed me that some bottles are "fishier" than others. I'll be switching to something else, hopefully less fishy.

I have been using these vitamins for the better part of the past 4 years between pregnancies and breastfeeding. The recent 'improved formula' change has been terrible. They now taste and smell fishy. So much so that I am switching to a new brand because I can't take it. There is also a film of fish oil around the capsules that is less than appealing and makes you question what you are taking. AVOID this product.

Horrible after taste! It's like you just liked a fish! No bueno for pregos!

Not the same as the ones you might find in a store- they smelled and tasted like fish oil. GROSS. The taste was so bad that I had to stop using them after two days. I've been using this exact product for about two years now and I have never had anything like this before. Definitely worth a trip to a store to buy these vs buying them through Amazon.

Loved these vitamins and wanted to buy in bulk but this seller is NOT selling you the freshest, most updated vitamins! NatureMade company has changed their formula slightly and the photos of the ingredients advertised shows this but the bottle is from the old formula. I have called NatureMade and they were very helpful and reassuring it is safe to take these and it is there product but I'm very disappointed In the seller about updating their product. Hence why this was such a "good deal". I've attached a photo comparing the latest ingredients from NatureMades website(left) vs. What was sent to me (right). Again, both formulas are safe, it's just the principal of the matter!

Up until this most current bottle I would have given 5 stars. This bottle smelled incredibly fishy. Upon further research, fish oil only smells fishy when it's gone rancid. Since the expiration date is June 2017 (a year from when I purchased) I'm thinking these bottles were not store appropriately. Despite the good price on Amazon, I'm going to stick to purchasing these items in store from now on...
