MTHFR-Friendly: Why Methylated Folate Matters
Approximately 40% of women carry a variant of the MTHFR gene that impairs the conversion of synthetic folic acid into its active form. Pink Stork uses L-5-MTHF (methylated folate), the bioavailable form that works regardless of your genetics. This ensures your body gets the folate it needs to support neural tube development and overall fetal growth. By choosing methylated folate over folic acid, you’re opting for a nutrient that’s ready to work immediately. This attention to bioavailability reflects Pink Stork’s commitment to science-informed formulation.
Key Nutrients in Every Serving
Each two-gummy serving delivers a thoughtfully selected blend of nutrients to support maternal health and fetal development. The star ingredient is 800 mcg DFE of L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate—the active form of folate that bypasses the need for conversion in the body. This is especially important for women with MTHFR gene variants. You also get 20 mg of vegan DHA from algae, which supports your baby’s developing brain and eyes. Other nutrients include vitamin D, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, iodine, and more. All ingredients are third-party tested for purity and potency. The formula contains No iron, making it gentle on sensitive stomachs—a common concern during pregnancy.
Gentle on the Stomach: No Iron, No Fishy Aftertaste
Many prenatal vitamins cause nausea or digestive discomfort. Pink Stork deliberately excludes iron—many women prefer to manage iron intake separately with their healthcare provider, as iron can contribute to constipation and upset stomach. Instead, the formula focuses on other essential nutrients without the side effects. The algae-sourced DHA provides a clean omega-3 without the fishy burps often associated with fish oil. The gummies have an assorted fruit flavor that’s pleasant and easy to take. With only 3 grams of added sugar per serving, they’re a smart choice for health-conscious moms-to-be.
From Preconception to Breastfeeding: A Prenatal for Every Stage
OB/GYNs recommend starting a prenatal at least 90 days before conception. Pink Stork’s formula is designed to support you through all three trimesters and beyond, including breastfeeding. That’s one consistent formula you can rely on as your journey evolves. Simply take two gummies daily. The UV-protected bottle helps maintain nutrient potency. Manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-certified facility, every batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing. Pink Stork is a women-owned and women-run company founded by Amy Suzanne Upchurch, an Integrative Health Coach dedicated to creating better options for women.

Made with pectin instead of gelatin, they are suitable for vegans and free from gluten, soy, dairy, and artificial fillers.
