What are the most important nutrients to take during pregnancy?

While pregnant women should always consult with their practitioners, our formulations are based on recommended needs provided by leading professional organizations and government agencies. More specifically, key nutrients that can support healthy gestation, birth weights, and health trajectories of mother and baby are important, including vitamins B6, 12, and folate, vitamin D, omega-3/DHA, choline, and myo-inositol.

I thought I was supposed to discontinue taking myo-inositol when I got pregnant. Why is it included in this product?

Myo-inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient in the body and plays an important role in metabolic/energetic function in the body. During pregnancy this is important for overall metabolic balance and health for the mother and can support the growth trajectory of the baby. The low doses in Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials are meant to serve as foundational support for metabolic balance, including healthy metabolic handling of glucose levels.

I am currently TTC. Can I take FertilAid® along with Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials with DHA?

FertilAid Multivitamin For Women contains a daily prenatal vitamin; therefore, we would not recommend you take an additional prenatal vitamin. Once pregnancy is achieved, we’d recommend you discontinue FertilAid and switch to the Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials with DHA.

Does this pill have calcium as an ingredient?

Our Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials with DHA does not contain calcium since recent USDA healthy surveys suggest that adequate calcium can be achieved from the diet by most pregnant women. However, everyone's nutrient needs are unique. If you and your healthcare practitioner feel that you may benefit from additional calcium, our prenatal Calcium + Magnesium is an easy way to meet those goals.

Are omega-3/DHA fatty acids included in this formula?

Yes, omega-3/DHA is included in the formula to support the development of the nervous system as well as brain development and function. For the mother, it also supports heart health and healthy blood pressure.* For those desiring additional omega-3s, our Prenatal DHA + EPA comes in a small, convenient, easy-to-take softgel, making it a convenient source of omegas.

Are folic acid and B12 provided in the most bioavailable form? What are their benefits?

The B vitamins (folate, B12, and B6) are included in the methylated form—this improves their bioavailability, ensuring optimal utilization of these vitamins that support nervous system function, heart health, metabolic system support, and overall growth and development of your baby.

Are there other products that I should consider taking while I’m pregnant or after my baby is born?

During pregnancy it is important to eat a healthy diet with nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables and sufficient protein and healthy fats to support your pregnancy. Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials is designed to support this type of dietary practice and help fill the nutrient gaps most likely to exist. While this product will cover your nutrient needs, additional selected vitamins and nutrients could be considered and discussed with your healthcare practitioner.

Must I “wean” off FertilAid or FertileCM® by reducing dosage before taking Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials once pregnancy is confirmed?

No, you can discontinue use of the preconception supplements and switch over to the Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials with DHA once pregnancy is confirmed with either a blood or urine test.

How many pills are in one bottle?

There are 60 capsules in each bottle, and the dosage is two capsules a day.

How far along in my pregnancy do I take this?

It is recommended that you take a prenatal vitamin as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed and throughout your entire pregnancy.

I’m pregnant with our second child but still breastfeeding our 21-month-old. Can I take this product while breastfeeding?

Yes, Prenatal Multivitamin Essentials with DHA can be taken by breastfeeding women. It will also help improve the nutrient profile of your breast milk to support the health of your first child too! If you are breastfeeding and not pregnant, we recommend switching to Postnatal Multivitamin Essentials, which is formulated specifically for breastfeeding mothers.

How will these nutrients help my baby and me at the same time?

Your growing baby is dependent on you for all for their nutrient needs—which is why supplementation can be helpful to support both you and the health trajectory of your baby. With your own healthy metabolism and improved bioavailability of nutrients, these become available to your baby through your shared blood supply. Together prenatal supplementation can help support a healthy gestation for both you and your baby.

Choline, omega-3/DHA, and myo-inositol are included in this product. What are the benefits of these nutrients?

Both choline and omega-3/DHA play an important role in the development of the nervous system including brain and cognitive development of your baby. Additionally metabolic support and balance can be improved with omega-3/DHA, as can the immune system response. This is complementary to the role and benefits provided by myo-inositol.

There are 15 nutrients in this formula. I’ve seen other prenatals that have more—am I missing too many nutrients if I take this product, and would that be a health disadvantage to me and my baby?

The 15 nutrients provided in this formula are those identified by the USDA and Centers for Disease Control to be those most often found to have a gap in the diet of pregnant women. Depending on your own dietary practices and health profile, you might need additional supplementation; to be sure, you should consult your healthcare practitioner.

What are the first 1,000 days of life, and why is this important?

The first 1,000 days of pregnancy include the period of time between conception and the first year following the birth of your baby. Being aware of this time frame is important since it helps define critical phases of growth and development of your baby and is thus helpful in making sure the most essential nutrients at each phase and through the entire 1,000 days are provided. That's why we've innovated this prenatal vitamin in conjunction with Postnatal Multivitamin Essentials, which is formulated specifically for breastfeeding mothers.

Will this formula help my baby’s development in the first 1,000 days of her/his life? How?

Yes! Your baby’s development is a trajectory of phased growth starting with growth, metabolic systems, central nervous systems, and organ development. Each of these phases can be supported with recommended nutrients which when provided can help ensure that your baby’s health trajectory can be fully met.

Why is there an “aroma pack” included in the bottle?

The scent of vitamins can trigger nausea in pregnant women. We’ve included the natural citrus-scented aroma pack to help ease this common reaction. The citrus-scented aroma pack also supports your health and well-being; using aromatherapy science provides a scent to help you relax, manage the occasional nausea some women might experience, and make supplementation a more convenient and adherent practice.
