Why do Viva DHA Capsules cause such severe constipation for some people?
I've been taking Viva DHA Capsules during my pregnancy as recommended by my doctor. The pills contain a variety of essential vitamins and minerals, from folic acid and calcium to iron and DHA, which is incredibly beneficial for both mother and baby. However, I've been experiencing some really bad constipation lately, and I'm wondering if others have had similar issues. It's making an already uncomfortable situation even worse! If you have had this happen to you and found something to alleviate it, please share your experience. If you have other insights into why this is happening, I'm all ears too. I just want to figure out if there's something I can do to make this side effect more bearable.

I switched to a different brand of prenatal vitamins and the constipation went away. Might be worth talking to your doctor about.
I feel your pain! I had to switch to a different brand because the constipation was unbearable. Talk to your doctor about it.
Prenatals can be tough on the digestive system. Have you tried a stool softener? It might help.
I had bad constipation with my first pregnancy and my doctor recommended prune juice. It worked wonders for me.
