Wha?! My pre-natals contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Yup, Preg-vit contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate....

I have to admit to not knowing why exactly that's bad, but I know I've heard a ton about how it's a big thing to stay away from from multiple sources. Seems bizarre that it would be in a pre-natal when the goal is to keep toxins OUT of the body!

I'll likely continue with them until I can see a midwife and get her take on it and where to go from here.

Thoughts?

Most conventional prenatals such as those you buy at walmart have horrible toxic ingredients such as antifreeze (look for propelyne glycol), synthetic colorings etc.  Many cause cancer and many other bad things.  They also make morning sickness much worse.  It is a fact that your body does not absorb much of the nutrients from those vitamins because they are not whole foods based vitamins.  They are synthetic, lab created, and does your body basically no good, and adds many toxins obviosuly if you read the label.  This is NOT what a developing little person needs to be exposed to!!

Here is what I recommend http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Raw-Prenatal-capsules/dp/B002JOVOVY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top  and it is what I take.

New Chapter prenatals are also pretty good.  There are only a few whole foods based prenatals out there, and they will specifically state it on the label.  It is worth the extra cost!!

Buried Treasure is what I take.  It's a liquid, made from whole foods, vegetarian, etc.
