Third Trimester Support Supplements

The safety of taking supplements during pregnancy de­pends on their contents. Our range of pregnancy supplements is carefully formulated to be safe for consumption during pregnancy. They contain essential vitamins and minerals (such as folate, calcium, choline and magnesium) in optimal forms and dosages that mamas and babies need. Getting enough of the­se from diet alone is challe­nging, and supplementing can help bridge nutritional gaps.

Our Cognitive Support and Stress Support products are safe to take before pregnancy. However, out of an abundance of caution, should you become pregnant, we recommend consulting your healthcare team before continuing to take this product.

We recommend beginning with a foundational Pre­natal Multi vitamin, available as a powder or capsule, to nourish both you and your growing baby. The­ sooner you start, the bette­r for optimal nutrition.

Omega-3s are also important, so beginning with the Starte­r Plan is advisable. For a more compre­hensive approach, the Comple­te Plan adds Collagen Protein and Pre­/Probiotics to your prenatal supplement routine­, supporting overall wellness and bringing you a comprehensive approach to prenatal supplementation.

Yes. Needed’s Prenatal Vitamins contain methylated folate (5-MTHF). Methylated folate and folic acid are two different forms of folate. 5-MTHF is the active form that the body can directly use, while folic acid is a synthetic form that must be converted before it becomes active. We choose methylated folate because it is the form naturally used by the body and is a well-studied, bioavailable source that supports healthy folate status.*

Adequate folate intake supports maternal health by supporting normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells, which are essential for energy production and oxygen delivery during pregnancy.* Folate also plays a critical role in fetal development by supporting neural tube formation and healthy cellular growth and function.* Learn more about why we choose methylated folate here.
