Key Nutrients for Every Stage

Prenatal Pro delivers a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals essential for maternal health and fetal development. Here's what makes it stand out:

• L-Methylfolate (1,000 mcg) – The bioactive form of folate, ready for your body to use without needing conversion. Folate contributes to normal tissue growth and maternal blood formation.
• Iron (18 mg as ferrous bisglycinate) – A chelated, non-constipating form that supports oxygen transport and helps maintain healthy energy levels.
• Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) – Supports calcium absorption and immune function.
• Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) – Works with vitamin D to direct calcium to bones.
• Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc – Chelated forms for superior absorption. Magnesium supports muscle function; zinc is important for cell division.
• Iodine (150 mcg) – Crucial for thyroid function during pregnancy.

Gentle on the Stomach: Chelated Minerals and Iron

Pregnancy can bring digestive sensitivity, and many women avoid iron supplements due to constipation. Prenatal Pro uses ferrous bisglycinate, a chelated form of iron that is well-tolerated and less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Chelated minerals—like magnesium glycinate, zinc picolinate, and selenium—are bound to amino acids for enhanced absorption. This means you get more benefit from each capsule, with fewer side effects.

The Science Behind Methylated Folate

Many prenatal vitamins use folic acid, a synthetic form that requires conversion to its active form (L-methylfolate) in the body. However, a significant percentage of women carry genetic variations (MTHFR) that make this conversion inefficient. Prenatal Pro provides the active form directly—L-methylfolate—so your body can use it immediately. This is particularly important during the first trimester when neural tube development is rapid. By choosing methylated folate, you're ensuring optimal delivery of this critical nutrient.

How to Incorporate Prenatal Pro into Your Routine

For best results, take 2 capsules daily with a meal and plenty of water. Starting supplementation at least three months before conception helps build adequate nutrient stores. Continue throughout pregnancy and while nursing to support both your health and your baby's needs. As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider to determine the right dosage for your individual circumstances.
