I am trying to compare these to New Chapter and Garden of Life Vitamin Code. Can anyone give some feedback to compare these?

I don't know anything about garden of life, but I too debated between new chapter and baby and me. The differences I saw were that baby and me has more folic acid which is vital to healthy development of a fetus. ( 800 mg vs. 600) Also, new chapters prenatal includes soy and a probiotic. There is little research on the safety of soy in developing fetuses so I'd prefer to er on the side of caution. Also, probiotics are more effective when taken at a different time than other supplements so I prefer to take it separately and use a high quality product. I have no idea the quality probiotic in new chapter, but given that all the quality ones I've ever used required refrigeration, the one in here can't be that effective. I think I've heard that because of all the complaints about the soy, new chapter has a new soy free version now, so maybe that would be ok. I can definitely attest to the quality of baby and me though.....i took it long before we conceived and throughout pregnancy and five months of nursing. Our baby is absolutely perfect! She is bright eyed, has no allergies, is happy and easy going, and very smart. She is ahead in all milestones and anyone who meets her can't believe the things she is doing at ten months. She crawled at 5.5 months, walked a week before turning 9 months, first words at 6.5 months and. Now has a vocabulary of 15 words and mimics very closely many more words, uses sign language for 12 words, can identify all body parts on herself and others, mimics sounds of five animals, attempts to put puzzles together, sings tunes and matches musical pitches, responds to questions and commands, I could go on and on. I certainly can't say. For sure if this vitamin helped to make a super baby, but I do believe that it helped alongside a healthy diet. Also, I had blood work done during pregnancy and all my nutritional levels were better than the basic requirements which assured me my baby was getting everything she needed.

I took the New Chapter vitamins after taking MegaFood for over a year and a half and was really disappointed in how I felt while taking New Chapter. The New Chapter brand made me feel very anxious. It was an unusual feeling. I went back to MegaFood and I am so happy I did. I feel so much better when I take them.

I had a hard time finding it too! The only reason I purchased it was because umpteen years ago I tried Shaklee's vitamins and they worked wanders for me. I scanned a pic. Of the box but it will not let me send it here. Have some family members wandering the same thing :) if you would like I could send the scan to you? "C.pugh77@yahoo.com" if you are interested

I see the problem that there are two labels that people are answering in regards to. The original included both forms of folic acid. I see on the updated label there are still other synthetic forms of some of the other B-vitamins. (so I am passing on this product).

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens... » Read More garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy.the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented. « Show Less

there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids vitamin was sad b/c we are vegetarians and the quality of food in the US due to GMOS and pesticides isn't great. there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids... » Read More there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids vitamin was sad b/c we are vegetarians and the quality of food in the US due to GMOS and pesticides isn't great. « Show Less

After answering I actually read the label and found CoQ10 is listed near the bottom as ubiquinone. Get out your magnifying glass :)

I searched "FDA & rainbow light women's one reviews" and got loads of good info but the FDA info was @ http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodborneIllnessContaminants/Metals/ucm115941.htm. I've taken these for a couple of years and can tell the difference when I don't take them. They are that good!

Yes. I like this vitamin and i contact the manufacturer. They don't give out there contact information until after you buy the product.What is all this nonsense about it being a fake company. You can see from there website they have been in business since 1999. I usually buy from the website rather than here because it is cheaper. I think the site is cassavatwins.com

I do not know. I do know there has been some negative "findings" about ingredient quality in some Garden of Life "raw" products recently, and reports of the founder of the company leaving......Always a good idea to research ingredients in my opinion.

Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites). There may have been some slight labeling changes over the years but I cannot remember. My suggestion would be to ensure that the two products you are comparing are in fact the same (one might be isolate vs non-isolate, or size of the container, or the "Dessert" product vs the "Syntha-6" product). I'm not sure what you are referring to by "PD" and Exp", sorry. I understand your caution about trying something new but both my personal testimony and the aggregate of reviews on Amazon should provide you some confidence that you are purchasing a great product. Anything beyond that, you're just going to have to try it for yourself.
