Folate - Vitamin B9 - 600mcg DFE

100% Daily Value

Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, and recent research estimates that up to 60% of women have the MTHFR gene, which makes it difficult or impossible for them to convert folic acid. We have formulated our prenatal with 5-MTHF, the natural food form of folate, similar to what you find in leafy-green vegetables and legumes, that is readily available and does not need to be converted by the body. Because it is the natural food form of folate, it is more easily absorbed and utilized. It is also able to cross the blood-brain barrier better than folic acid, which makes it more effective at supporting brain development in your baby.

Choline - 320mg

58% Daily Value

Choline has been called a “brain-building” nutrient by the American Academy of Periatrics. Approximately 90%–95% of pregnant women consume less choline than the suggested adequate intake. Unfortunately, most prenatal supplements typically contain little, if any, choline. That is why we've ensured that our prenatal provides a good source of choline with 320 mcg per serving. Moms have an increased demand for choline and need to consume 450 mg/day during pregnancy and 550 mg/day while breastfeeding. Pregnant women transfer choline to their babies via the placenta for growth and development, and breast milk also contains high levels of choline. These choline needs of the baby place an increased demand on mom's choline stores during pregnancy and lactation. We have formulated with VitaCholine® which the preferred choice for prenatal multivitamins.

Vitamin D - 100mcg (4000IU)

667% Daily Value

We use Vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol because research has shown it may be superior to D2. A 2016 study showed that D3 supplementation twice a week for five weeks was more effective at increasing vitamin D levels than the same dosage of D2. Additionally, we have formulated a healthy does of 4000IUs because, while limited, recent research has shown a correlation between Vitamin D intake and birth outcomes.

Vitamin K2 - 90mcg

Daily Value Not Established

We have formulated with Vital K2. Compared to other forms of Vitamin K, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is considered superior due to its longer half-life in the body, which allows for more efficient utilization. Vitamin K2 is also believed to have a greater affinity for the tissues that utilize Vitamin K, such as bone and arterial tissue, and may be more effective at promoting calcium uptake and reducing the risk of calcification in these tissues. Additionally, some studies suggest that Vitamin K2 may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can further benefit overall health.

Iodine- 220mg

76% Daily Value

Iodine is essential for normal thyroid function, increased thyroid hormone synthesis in the mom, and brain development in babies during gestation and later in life for infants. Iodine is found in the diet mostly from iodized salt, seafood, and dairy. However, increased consumption of processed foods (which primarily uses non-iodized salt), along with trends of non-iodized salt (e.g., sea salt), has led to decreased intake of dietary iodine and has lowered iodine status in American women of childbearing age.

Calcium - 200mg

15% Daily Value

Our prenatal contains 200mg of AquaminTM calcium, a natural source of calcium from the sea. Found in red algae (Lithothamnion spp), calcium and other naturally occurring minerals accumulate from the seawater throughout the aquatic plant's life. Minerals are then naturally stored as carbonate salts in the plant. Research has shown this form of calcium to have superior absorption.

Vitamin B12 - 2.8mcg

100% Daily Value

There are two main forms of B12 found in supplements, cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that must be converted by the body. This form is the most common form found in supplements because it is the least expensive. We have formulated with the most active form of B12, methylcobalamin since it is the naturally occurring form of B12 that is absorbed easiest by the body.

Vitamin A - 1300mcg

100% Daily Value

Supplementing with both beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate can provide important benefits. Beta-carotene is great for promoting healthy skin and can also help with fetal growth and development.
