Has anyone used Wescap-C DHA Softgel Capsules? What were your experiences with side effects?
I'm currently trying to decide on a prenatal vitamin and the Wescap-C DHA Softgel Capsules have caught my eye. They seem to have a good balance of nutrients, especially the DHA for brain and eye development. But I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the more serious ones. Has anyone had any bad experiences with these? Also, how do you deal with the more minor side effects like constipation or an upset stomach? I've heard some people have issues with fishy burps from the omega-3s. Any tips for that? Thanks everyone!
I had a bad reaction to these. It was like my stomach wanted to eat itself. I broke out in hives and had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER and they told me to never take them again. I'm pretty sensitive to stuff, though. I've heard some people use them with no problem. It's always messed up when you can't predict a bad reaction ahead of time. Like everything in life, I'm guessing.
I took these during my last pregnancy and had no major issues. I did get some constipation, but that's pretty normal with prenatal vitamins, right? I just made sure to stay hydrated and it wasn't too bad.
If you're worried about side effects, maybe talk to your doctor about a different brand. I had no issues with these, but everyone's different. Just make sure you're getting enough folic acid, that's the most important part.
I was actually surprised by how easy these were to take. I've heard horror stories about prenatal vitamins from my friends, but these were fine. No fishy burps, no major issues. Just made sure to take them with a meal and stay hydrated. Worked for me.
I had a weird reaction to these. I started breaking out in these really itchy, red hives. It was like my body was having a bad reaction to something in the capsule. I stopped taking them and the hives went away. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about any weird reactions.
I had some really bad heartburn the washing these, it was like straight out of the deepfried. Make sure to take them with food or talk to your doc.
I had to stop taking these because they were making my stools turn green. Kinda freaked me out, to be honest. I prefer my stools to be their normal color, thank you very much. Gross topic, I know, but it's important.
I didn't have any major issues with these, but I did notice that if I took them on an empty stomach, I would get this weird metallic taste in my mouth. It was like licking a coin or something. Super gross. I started taking them with food and it went away.
