Our Postnatal: 4th Trimester

Our supplements are gluten free but not allergen-free. Our fish oil softgels contain fish(anchovy). Our dry powder capsules  are free from milk, eggs, shellfish, wheat, gluten, peanuts, soy, and tree nuts.

Our supplements are made from minerals and therefore can’t be organic.

Yes, our prenatal is tested for heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury). We screen our ingredients before and after production and we test our finished products to ensure we meet a self regulated standard.

Our prenatal provides customized nutrition specific to each trimester (12 of our 27 ingredient levels change by trimester) based on 350+ research studies showing that these optimal levels benefit maternal health and baby’s neurological development. Additionally, we have selected highly bioavailable forms of each vitamin and mineral so your body absorbs the nutrients more effectively.

Yes, our prenatal contains 500 milligrams of DHA and 250 milligrams of EPA from fish oil for Trimesters 1-3, and this increases to 650 milligrams of DHA and 1,000 milligrams of EPA per day in Trimester 4 / Our postnatal.

We comply with the FDA's good manufacturing practices. However, the FDA does not specially regulate prenatal vitamins.

Some forms of vitamins and minerals are absorbed better than others since they require less processing by the body. For example, folic acid is the synthetic form of folate and does not exist in nature. It requires the body to convert the folic acid to methylfolate to become active. Instead, our vitamin contains methlyfolate, the active form, so your body can absorb the nutrients easier.

Do not take extra the next day. You can take a morning dose later in the day but we recommend keeping the morning and afternoon doses apart by several hours for best absorption. Supplements are designed for building a baseline. If you miss a dose, No problem! Just continue your regime as usual.

We’ve developed our prenatal to be a comprehensive multivitamin (with a softgel containing both DHA and EPA) that will meet the nutritional needs of most pregnant and lactating women. In almost all cases this prenatal should replace a general multivitamin. Our formula is robust so please make sure our program is most appropriate for your needs by consulting with your physician.

Yes. The amounts in our prenatal are generally safe and within the Tolerable Upper Intake Limits established by the FDA. However, taking excessive amounts vitamins (especially fat-soluble vitamins including vitamins A, D, E, K) and minerals may be harmful. Before taking any other supplement along with our prenatal program, please review our label and consult with your physician.

We've designed this prenatal to be taken as two servings per day - one in the morning (typically taken with breakfast) and another in the evening (typically taken with dinner). We do not include folic acid in our prenatal, as it is a synthetic form of folate, and people vary greatly in their ability to convert it to bioactive forms. Instead, we use 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) to make sure you are getting everything you need, in the most bioavailable form, throughout each stage of your pregnancy.  We always recommend consulting with your doctor to ensure this is the best prenatal for your needs.

Our other ingredients include the vegetarian capsule (modified cellulose, water), magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide (silica), and cellulose. The softgels contain fish oil from Peruvian anchovies and made with gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.
