“I was trying to conceive for 2 years (no medical issues) and fell pregnant within 3 months of taking these supplements, so it seems very likely this played a part in that as I didn't change anything else. I also noticed some improvement in my skin before I fell pregnant. Taking 4 tablets a day is not ideal, but manageble and worth it for me to know that the ingredients are the best quality.”
“I’ve had to stop taking these. Firstly, they smell awful and turn my stomach. I have to hold my breath opening the jar. Also, I hadn’t realised that each day you need to take 4 tablets. I just can’t stomach 4 tablets a day at the moment. They aren’t very ‘first trimester’ friendly. I’ve gone back to a teeny folate tablet once a day and a vitamin d mouth spray.”
“Great formula but they stink! I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and have been taking my second bottle of these. I trust that the ingredients inside are great but they are horrible to take. Especially during the first trimester, these really trigger the nauseous in me.”
Hi Olivia, happy to report that we're now including a pretty little scented tab now in all Pregnancy Formula jars which has a lemon smell to counteract the smell of the capsules. Unfortunately, high-quality vitamins and minerals do often have a strong smell, also because the product is so pure, this isn't counteracted by the cheap 'filler' ingredients many other brands use. They now smell lovely though! Hope this helps, Rosie x
“It's been just over a week since I've received the Pregnancy formula and started taking them. To be honest, I don't feel too much different at the moment so will need to keep taking them.
However, the smell of these are terrible, I can't help but have to hold my breath every time I take them and 4 capsules are quite a lot with the bad smell.
Equi, please try to improve the scent of these!”
“Hi there,
I just wanted to share with you some positive feedback on the pregnancy formula.
I have been battling with hormonal acne for 10 years now - and have been on all possible medication for this (including roaccutane), I have also in the past 6 months started trying for a baby. I saw your products advertised for your online so thought I’d try the pregnancy formula.
It has finally cleared my acne. Nothing has done this so consistently. It’s changed my confidence to such a point that I don’t need to wear foundation anymore and I don’t take my whole makeup bag out with me whenever I go out to constantly cover up my face.
I haven’t yet conceived but my hormones seem to have stabilised finally! I don’t get huge dips in tiredness, skin clarity etc before my cycle, and I generally have a consistent level of energy now.
It’s the only thing I’ve changed in my diet or routine in the last 3 months - Such a good product!”
“So pleased I found EquiLondon for my pre-natal vitamins. Started taking while trying to conceive and will continue throughout my pregnancy. It’s full of all good stuff and none of the rubbish you see in some brands!”
“My sister got me a bottle of these capsules when I got pregnant (she swore by them) and I've been taking them since. My hair skin and nails are in great health and I have lots of energy. I give birth in two months and plan to continue when breastfeeding.”
