Prenatal Multivitamin Gummy

Gummy vs. Multivitamin Capsules (3): Our Gummy (3 per day) and Prenatal Multivitamin Capsules (3 capsules per day) are both easy-to-take formats — it comes down to preference. The Gummy is a simplified 17-nutrient formula with clinically studied dosages of Vitamin D, B6, and Methylfolate, but reduced levels of space-heavy nutrients like Choline, Zinc, and Selenium. The Capsules deliver all 22 nutrients and can be taken alongside a nourishing meal at breakfast or lunch.

Gummy vs. Powder: Our Gummy (3 per day) and Prenatal Multivitamin Powder (1 scoop per day) are both easy-to-take formats — it comes down to preference. The Gummy is a simplified 17-nutrient formula with clinically studied dosages of Vitamin D, B6, and Methylfolate, but reduced levels of space-heavy nutrients like Choline, Zinc, and Selenium. The Powder delivers all 22 nutrients and mixes into food or a smoothie.

Gummy vs. Pro (8): Our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro (8 per day) is our most comprehensive formula, with optimal levels of 26 essential nutrients. It's designed for optimal support through pregnancy and postpartum, including breastfeeding. The Gummy is for the days a capsule isn't an option.

Take it before, during, after pregnancy — and even beyond — for the more supportive nourishment you need to feel your best and help avoid depletion. We like to stress the importance of preconception nutritional preparation and postpartum recovery, so this product is for you even if you are a few years away from having kids or a few years postpartum.

Calcium is included at 200mg in Prenatal Multivitamin Pro and not included in Prenatal Multivitamin Gummy.

The reason for this is nutrient prioritization. Calcium is a key mineral that we recognize as highly important in the perinatal lifestage. However, our preferred form of Calcium (di-calcium malate, DimaCal®) takes up a lot of space and would not be compatible with a 3 gummy prenatal. Instead, we continue to recommend a calcium-rich diet to support during the perinatal lifestage, as meeting Calcium needs through diet is generally more realistic, feasible, and preferred versus just from supplements. The RDA for Calcium is 1,000mg and providing a meaningful amount via supplements can be challenging in a reasonable serving size.

We recommend taking Iron away from our Prenatal Multi for optimal absorption as Iron and some other minerals absorb best apart. We also recommend taking only as much as you need, as too much supplemental Iron can generate oxidative stress and alter the gut microbiome.*

We recommend testing your ferritin levels. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medications.

Our Iron is bound to Glycine for better absorption and digestive comfort.*

We know how hard the first trimester can be. Many women find gummies easier to keep down than capsules, and 3 gummies is a lighter lift than a handful of pills. Take them with or without food, split them across meals, or take them before bedtime if mornings are the hardest.

The problem we found is most gummies can't hold enough nutrition to matter. We spent four years breaking through that ceiling: our Radically Better™ Prenatal Gummy packs 8x more nutrition than the leading prenatal gummy^‖ and 4x more than the average leading prenatal^‡. This option provides practitioner-grade nutrition in three gummies you'll actually look forward to taking. No synthetic dyes, no artificial sweeteners.

Yes. Needed's Prenatal Multivitamins contain Optifolin+®, a bioavailable, fully bioactive methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) enriched with choline providing superior benefits for healthy methylation, setting it apart from other forms of methylfolate. Other forms of methylfolate utilize other salts, such as calcium or glucosamine salts, which need to be present to support the stability of methylfolate but do not enable this nutritionally synergistic benefit.

Methylated (5-MTHF) 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.
