My sister is one month out from her c/s. She needs something simple and not expensive, and not big horse pills. She is feeling a little anxious and tired, and I want her to boost some areas to help prevent PPD if she can.

Any advice.

I found these gummy prenatals easy to take. I don't do well with horse pills myself.

However, you can't get iron in a gummy, so if she thinks she might be anemic (not sure if that is an issue with a c-section?), I would suggest floradix for iron or even a nettle tea.

Magnesium is important for absorbing other vitamins and minerals, and low magnesium can contribute to anxiety. An easy fix (except that I know it can be hard with littles) is to take a tub with Epsom salt regularly.

And finally, Vit. D is important for fatigue. I took the Rainbow Light gummies and got my levels from 10 to 35 while pregnant taking 3000 ius a day. However, they were sort of stuck there, and my chiropractor has me taking a concentrate that I just put five drops under my tongue. Both easier than swallowing a pill.

I took these with my last pregnancy. They are not a prenatal but just a good multivitamin. New Chapter Tiny Tabs. You need to take 6 but they are very small---don't feel like a full meal after you take them.
