Vitamin D3 - In addition to supporting bone health, recent studies have shown that vitamin D at 4000IU reduces the risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and low birth weight. Even in the sunniest locales, nearly 50% of women are deficient in Vitamin D.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Folate - Outside of its well-established role in pregnancy for preventing neural tube defects, folate has been shown to provide benefits against cardiovascular malformations and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Natural folate from foods is highly bioactive and already in its methylated form.

Pregnancy

Choline - A 2021 clinical trial showed that synthetic choline bitartrate, not choline from food, resulted in a rise of a dangerous chemical byproduct called TMAO. TMAO increases the risk for blood clots, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes, all highly detrimental in pregnancy.

Pregnancy

Vitamin A - Crucial for embryonic development and responsible for helping form the eyes, heart, arms, and legs. We source our Vitamin A from vegetables to ensure there’s no chance of overdose (which happens more commonly with supplements).

1300

Pregnancy

Vitamin C - Known as the water-soluble antioxidant, fighting damaging free radicals that wreak havoc on cells and membranes. It also helps make collagen and greatly boosts iron absorption when consumed as part of a meal.

130
mg

From Citrus

110%
Daily Value

Pregnancy

Vitamin E - Fights reactive oxygen species that attack cell membranes and lipids, providing protection against oxidative stress, a risk factor for preeclampsia. Synthetic Vitamin E is only absorbed half as well as naturally occurring Vitamin E - which is why ours comes from seeds, spinach and broccoli.

24
mg

From Seeds and Greens

130%

Pregnancy

Vitamin K - Critical in blood clot formation, where deficiencies can lead to excessive bleeding before, during, and after delivery. Infants need it too, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends Vitamin K injections upon birth.

Pregnancy

Thiamin (B1) - Thiamin is essential for nervous system and brain development - it’s involved in synthesizing a protective layer of fat around neurons called myelin, as well as several critical neurotransmitters. It’s also beneficial for language development and word retrieval.

1.8
mg

From Sunflower Seeds

130%

Pregnancy

Riboflavin (B2) - A study of more than 100 pregnant women found that riboflavin deficiency increased preeclampsia risk by almost 5-fold. Green vegetables are one of the best - and most natural - sources of riboflavin.

1.8

From Sesame Seeds

120%

Pregnancy & Lactation

Niacin - Works through a compound called NAD to help maintain the structure and health of DNA, which is particularly critical during the earliest stages of embryonic development. It also supports energy levels before, during, and after pregnancy.

23

From Mushrooms

130%
Daily Value

Pregnancy

Pantothenic Acid (B5) -Necessary for one of the most critical enzymes in our body, coenzyme A, and required for fat synthesis and fat burning. These reactions become increasingly vital during the prenatal phase helping women store and burn energy based on the body’s changing demands.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Vitamin B6 - We include B6, alongside mint and ginger, at levels clinically-proven to reduce nausea. A number of studies have demonstrated reduction of morning sickness with Vitamin B6, even at doses as low as 1.28 mg per day.

2.5
mg

From Greens

130%

Pregnancy & Lactation

Biotin (B7) - Rapidly dividing cells require Biotin to support enzymes during cell division, particularly critical throughout embryonic development. Cell types that grow and renew most rapidly, such as hair, skin, and nails, may rely on Biotin the most.

Vitamin B12 - With boosted absorption from foods, Vitamin B12 is a critical cofactor for DNA replication and cell growth. Inadequate intake of B12 is associated with a wide range of adverse outcomes including premature delivery, low birth weight, and neural tube defects.

2.2
mcg

From Chlorella

80%
Daily Value

Pregnancy & Lactation

Calcium - This critical mineral is missing from most prenatals due to the sheer size being difficult to deliver in smaller pill and gummy formats. Yet, 20% of US women are deficient in calcium, which has been shown to reduce the risk of preterm labor and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH).

375
mg

From Seaweed

25%
Daily Value

Pregnancy

Iron - Blood supply increases by almost 50% during pregnancy to support the growing baby, making iron critical in this stage. 40% of women are iron-deficient in the third trimester, so we combine iron, which is notoriously poorly absorbed, with Vitamin C, to enhance iron absorption 2-3 fold.

Iodine - Women need double the iodine during pregnancy; it plays a critical role in normal fetal brain development. We deliver it at consensus science-backed levels, following the American Thyroid Association’s recommendation for iodine supplementation in pregnancy.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Zinc - Critical in protein synthesis and cell division, both integral to the developing fetus. More than 80% of women worldwide are deficient in zinc during pregnancy; taken at recommended levels, it’s associated with a modest reduction in premature deliveries.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Molybdenum - The need for Molybdenum is mildly elevated in pregnancy and lactation, as this trace mineral’s most important role is serving as a cofactor for reactions that break down unwanted and potentially harmful compounds. Whole grains and nuts are an excellent source.
