Pre-natal Vitamins vs. Shaklee's Vita-Lea

SHAKLEE'S VITA-LEA VS LEADING PRE-NATAL VITAMINS:

Shaklee vitamins are made with whole foods and contain no synthetic, man-made materials like most vitamins on the market. If you have read my Shaklee story, you know that when I became pregnant with my daughter, I was reintroduced to Shaklee after having horrible side effects with many prescription pre-natal vitamins that my doctor offered me, to the point where my doctor told me to stop taking them and try a children's multi-vitamin like Flinstones. My mom went a little crazy (lol!) when she heard the doctor recommended me Flinstones vitamins and told me I have to start taking Shaklee supplements. I had no side effects, my vomiting and nausea stopped completely and I felt so much more energy. Shaklee babies are less lethargic and more alert when born than babies who received synthetic vitamins. The doctors couldn't believe how alert and how pink her coloring was when she was born. The Shaklee Vita-lea is only one of the vitamins recommended as pre-natal vitamins. Shaklee is known for their research and quality products and is always safe. For more information on the recommened pre-natal vitamins, please contact me. It is always best to consult with your physician. I encourage you to take this comparison with you to your OB/Gyn. Most doctors are amazed when they see the comparison sheet and many doctors recommend Shaklee supplements.
