The two nutrients that matter most in a prenatal — **Iron** and **Folate** — are both nailed here. You're getting 45mg of iron as Ferrochel bisglycinate, a form that absorbs well and is far gentler on your stomach than standard iron. **Folate** is delivered as 1mg of methylfolate (L-5-MTHF), the bioactive form your body can use directly — important since roughly half of women carry gene variants that impair folic acid conversion.

Every B vitamin uses its bioactive form, so there's no conversion bottleneck. **Zinc** at 25mg in chelated bisglycinate and **Iodine** at 150mcg round out the prenatal essentials. The **Vitamin C** included also helps maximize your iron absorption — a useful built-in synergy.

The notable gap is **Choline** at just 110mg — only about 20% of the 450mg recommended during pregnancy. If you're relying on this prenatal alone, you'd want to supplement choline separately or ensure your diet covers the rest through eggs and liver.

How to Take It

Take it anytime

No evidence a formula this broad works better at any particular hour. Take it with a meal containing fat — the vitamins A, D, E and K in it absorb poorly without one.

With a meal containing fat
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Green Tea Leaf Extract
