Product insights

  • Basic Prenatal provides comprehensive nutritional support with highly bioavailable forms of key nutrients. It features Ferrochel® ferrous bisglycinate chelate, a gentle form of iron that minimizes gastrointestinal upset, and L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the active form of folate, ensuring optimal absorption and utilization.
  • This formulation includes choline, an essential nutrient crucial for fetal brain and nervous system development, and a blend of vitamin A as both beta carotene and palmitate to support healthy vision and immune function for both mother and baby.
  • Basic Prenatal delivers a balanced profile of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D3 for bone health and immune support, and zinc bisglycinate chelate for enhanced absorption and immune function, addressing the increased nutritional demands during pregnancy and lactation.
  • The inclusion of B vitamins, such as riboflavin 5'-phosphate and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, ensures optimal utilization in the body, supporting energy production and neurological health during this critical period.

The research

3 cited studies
1.
Folate Supplementation and Pregnancy Outcomes

Research indicates that folate supplementation, particularly with active forms like 5-MTHF, is crucial for reducing the risk of neural tube defects and supporting healthy fetal development.

2.
Iron Bisglycinate Chelate for Improved Iron Status

Studies have demonstrated that iron bisglycinate chelate is more readily absorbed and gentler on the stomach compared to other forms of iron, effectively improving iron status during pregnancy.

3.
Choline and Brain Development

Research suggests that choline plays a vital role in fetal brain development and cognitive function, highlighting its importance during pregnancy and lactation.
