One A Day Prenatal 1 Multivitamin
by One A Day
"Complete prenatal multivitamin with DHA in a single daily softgel"
Overview
One A Day Prenatal 1 is a comprehensive prenatal multivitamin providing folic acid, iron, DHA, and 18 other essential nutrients in a single daily softgel. The inclusion of 200mg DHA in the same softgel (rather than requiring a separate fish oil pill) is a significant convenience advantage. The formula provides 800mcg of folic acid — the critical nutrient for preventing neural tube defects.

Our Verdict
One A Day Prenatal 1 is the most convenient prenatal vitamin — everything in one softgel including DHA. The trade-off is using synthetic folic acid instead of methylfolate and a modest DHA dose. For most women, it's a perfectly adequate prenatal. For MTHFR concerns, choose a methylfolate-based prenatal.
