Our assessment
Our assessment: SmartyPants Prenatal Complete is a multivitamin designed to support nutritional needs during pregnancy, but the data we have is limited to one key ingredient. The evidence shows that the calcium in this product supports bone health, but we cannot evaluate the full formula with the information provided [NIH ODS].
How it works
The calcium in this supplement acts as a master regulator for your skeletal system by supporting bone mineralization and mineral deposition [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. Data for other ingredients in the formula is not available.
Safety profile
For the entire FDA database, there were 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for SmartyPants Prenatal Complete are not available [FDA data]. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High calcium levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of several medications, including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Our recommendation: You should consult your healthcare provider before starting any prenatal supplement, especially to review potential medication interactions with calcium [NIH ODS]. Without complete ingredient data and specific adverse event reports for this product, we cannot provide a full safety assessment. Choose a prenatal supplement with a complete and transparent label you can review with your doctor.
