Clinically studied. Nutritionally superior.
Every mother deserves to thrive.
95% of mothers are nutritionally depleted despite taking a prenatal. A radically better prenatal is Needed.
First-of-its-kind clinical study.
In 2025, we completed our first Institutional Review Board-approved clinical study to better understand nutrient status among pregnant women taking a daily prenatal supplement.
We found that women taking the Needed Prenatal Multi Capsules had significantly higher levels of key nutrients for mom and baby.
Sufficient Vitamin B6 during pregnancy supports:
- Occasional nausea relief
- Brain and nervous system development
- Nervous system function
- Healthy mood through production of key neurotransmitters
- Energy producing metabolism
- Magnesium absorption (a key perinatal nutrient)
Sufficient Choline during pregnancy supports:
- Healthy metabolism
- Healthy mood
- Baby’s neural tube formation and cognitive development
Sufficient Vitamin D during pregnancy supports:
- Healthy immune system
- Strong bones and teeth
- Healthy blood pressure
- Absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus (key perinatal nutrients)
Sufficient Selenium during pregnancy supports:
- Healthy thyroid function
- Healthy immune system and immune function
- Protection of cells from oxidative stress in its role as an antioxidant
Women taking Needed show significantly higher blood nutrient levels compared to women taking a standard prenatal.
Our clinically studied formulation is the difference.
- Active form of folic acid (Methylfolate) for optimal absorption
- 16x more Choline
- 7x more Vitamin D
- 2x more Vitamin A
