Pink Stork Prenatal Iron Supplement for Women, Grape Chewable Pregnancy Iron Gummies with Vitamin C, Pregnancy Must Haves, Prenatal Vitamins for Iron Deficiency, 60 Gummies

I just got mine today and the tasted fine. Didn’t taste like grape to me, but it was fruity. I didn’t notice the aftertaste until a few minutes later. Others I see compared it to blood, which, I guess maybe…. But it reminded me of when I was little and would chew those flintstone vitamins. To me that’s what it tastes like and I don’t have a problem with it at all. I’m only 5 weeks pregnant but I know my last 2 pregnancies I was low iron so figured I’d start ahead. If my labwork comes back that ny iron levels are good, then I know these made a big difference. I will try to remember to update this later with my results.

UPDATE: 2.5 weeks out from delivery here and my blood test shows that while I am slightly anemic (I’ve had an aversion to red meat this pregnancy), I don’t have to take any prescription iron supplements to be ready for my C-section. So I’m going to increase it to five stars and count it as a success. I have been taking these two and then following them up with the regular prenatal gummie vitamins to disguise the taste. It’s really hard to find gummy iron. But last pregnancy I had to take RX iron pills that hurt my stomach every single day. This time I’m being proactive and taking these starting in the first trimester. The aftertaste is definitely not great, I agree with the reviewer who noted that these taste like blood. BUT, iron is in blood so I don’t think that’s something the manufacturer can help. I take these immediately then take the regular prenatal gummies and that helps a lot. I’ll update when I do my blood test and let you know if these, when paired with a regular prenatal and typical diet, do the trick so far as iron levels.

Holy God! These were so bad! The first few chews were like “oh ok these aren’t terrible” but then I tasted blood and I gagged so hard that my head started hurting. I literally started throwing up. Then I thought maybe I’m being dramatic because I’m pregnant so let me take the other one and see if it’s terrible: 12 hours later and it was worst. I literally couldn’t even swallow it before the blood taste hit me and I started throwing up. These are terrible lmao . My God. I think I’m traumatized.

Tastes like grape at first, then it tastes like iron. Makes sense because it's iron. Can be off-putting as it reminds me of tasting blood in my mouth, but its still better than taking pills with gulps of water. After awhile I feel queasy. Then again, this pregnancy, everything makes me queasy. So, it's hard to say if it's the supplement or me..or both. Altogether, I need the iron. The taste isn't awesome but manageable. Better than pills and it doesn't stain my teeth or taste as bad as liquid forms of iron. So I reccomend this product.

I had to start taking prenatal iron in my third trimester and initially this product was fine, I could tolerate the taste and was gentle on my stomach. After a few weeks, I started gagging on them, the metallic taste started to build. I think it’s going to be more personal whether or not this works for you. I had to switch to a tablet. Update: I am editing this review to add that pink stork reached out to me after seeing my review, and offered me a full refund. Great customer service from this company! I have tried other products from this company and have enjoyed them.
