Prenatal Iron Support Healthy Iron Levels

Not all women need additional Iron so it is not in our Prenatal. Tailor your dosage to your needs.

Product Details

Easy-to-take Prenatal in vanilla powder form.

We formulated our Prenatal Multi in collaboration with perinatal practitioners, using data from testing thousands of mamas' nutrient levels to support you to thrive, not just survive. Our Prenatal Multi includes 26 nutrients in optimal forms and dosages that mothers and babies need.*

Take it before, during, after pregnancy— and even beyond.

Learn More

Contains essential nutrients to support optimal nourishment, in dosages designed to help you thrive - since many of these nutrients are bulky, they cannot be provided by a 1-2 capsule serving size*.

Each serving includes 200mcg of active B12 (most prenatals dose too low to support optimal levels), 400mg of Choline, 4,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 (2-4x what others include), 900mcg DFE of methylated form of Folate, and minerals bound to Glycine for best absorption and digestive comfort*

What's not in our Prenatal Multi is as important as what is. You won't find: unnecessary fillers, poor nutrient forms like Folic Acid, unsustainably-sourced ingredients (like Vegan D3), high heavy metal loads, and nutrients better taken separately including Omega-3 and Iron.

How to Use

Mix two scoops into a smoothie or beverage of choice (fresh juice, nut or dairy milk) alongside a full meal. It can also be mixed into soft food like yogurt or oatmeal. We do not recommend cooking with the Multi Powder, or mixing it into foods or drinks when at a temperature that is too hot to eat/drink.

Since many of the nutrients are quite energizing, avoid consuming within five hours of bedtime. When transitioning from a less complete multi, start with ½ scoop, working your way up to two full scoops/day. Do not take the powder on an empty stomach or with only water or nut milk. A more substantial meal is recommended.

We designed our Prenatal Multi to be taken with our Omega-3, Collagen Protein, and Pre/Probiotic. Together, these products optimally nourish mama and baby before, during, and after pregnancy. Store fully sealed at room temperature.

as 50% Beta Carotene and as 50% Retinyl Palmitate as 50% Beta Carotene and as 50% Retinyl Palmitate
Retinyl Palmitate is an active form that is more readily usable by the body. Beta Carotene is often poorly absorbed and inefficiently converted into the active form. And, many women have a genetic variation that prevents the conversion completely. Our combination provides enough Retinyl Palmitate to be effective, while still being safe for all mamas and mamas-to-be. Our combination provides enough Active Vitamin A to be effective, while still being safe for all mamas and mamas-to-be.

Vitamin D

4,000 IU Powder
4,000 IUCapsules
2,000 IU Essentials
as D3 Cholecalciferol as D3 Cholecalciferol
Vitamin D3 is technically not a vitamin, but a prohormone. Prohormones are the building blocks of fully formed hormones. Your skin produces Vitamin D3 when it is exposed to sunlight. But, most mamas don't get enough sun and Vitamin D is difficult to get from food. In addition, many women contain genetic variations that predispose them to lower levels of Vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is more readily used by the body than Vitamin D2. Our dose provides enough to be effective, while still being safe for all mamas and mamas-to-be.

as Mixed Tocopherols as Mixed Tocopherols
Tocopherols are antioxidants that occur naturally in foods such as nuts, seeds, and leafy green vegetables. We source ours from rapeseed oil rather than the more commonly found soybean oil. We provide 67mg of mixed tocopherols overall, with 30mg from d-alpha tocopherols declared as Vitamin E. This dose provides extra antioxidant support to meet the needs of pregnant and nursing mamas.

20mg Powder
20mg Capsules

as 50% Riboflavin 5-Phosphate and 50% Riboflavin as 50% Riboflavin 5-Phosphate and 50% Riboflavin
Vegan or vegetarian mamas have decreased dietary intake of Riboflavin. Deficiencies observed in clinical practice supports our higher dosage. The Riboflavin family are the precursors of the coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). We use both forms to support production of both coenzymes as Riboflavin contributes the flavin to FAD and Riboflavin-5-Phosphate is synonymous to FMN. Vegan or vegetarian mamas have decreased dietary intake of Riboflavin. Deficiencies observed in clinical practice supports our higher dosage.

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate is bioavailable and ready to be used by the body. It's only found in animal products. Many, due to a common genetic variation, are inefficient converters of B6 Pyridoxine into the active form. Our dose is especially supportive for mamas, including for mood imbalance and nausea, and is highly safe. Many mamas are low in B6, as hormonal birth control significantly depletes the body of it.

as L-Methylfolate, Glucosamine Salt Quatrefolic® as L-Methylfolate, Glucosamine Salt Quatrefolic®
Methylfolate paired with Glucosamine Salt is bioavailable and ready to be used by the body. We avoid Folic Acid, as it is unusable or harmful for many mamas. The unmethylated Folate form found in plants is not readily converted into the usable Methylfolate form. Our dosage provides enough Folate to be effective, especially for those with conversion difficulty, while still being safe for all mamas and mamas-to-be. While too little Folate can lead to mood imbalances, so can too much Folate. Methylfolate is bioavailable and ready to be used by the body. We avoid Folic Acid, as it is unusable or harmful for many mamas. While too little Folate can lead to mood imbalances, so can too much Folate. Our dosage is just the right amount.

Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin are the two active coenzyme forms that are readily usable by the body. Adenosylcobalamin supports energy and a healthy metabolism, and is often missing in prenatals. Cyanocobalamin, the more common form of B12, consists of a harmful compound that requires additional processing for safe removal from the body. We avoid this form. Our combination provides enough Vitamin B12 to be highly supportive, while still being safe for all mamas and mamas-to-be.

Reviews LoadedReviews Added

Thoughtful inquiry is needed.

What makes Needed's Prenatal Multi different from others?
We work directly with practitioners who regularly test mamas' nutrient levels before, during, and after pregnancy to know what's truly needed. Together, we have selected nutrient forms of 26 vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that work best in the body, and dosages intended to help you thrive, not just survive. Most prenatals are designed to meet bare minimum needs, and often contain inadequate nutrient amounts and tough-to-absorb forms.
Why do you offer Iron separately?
We recommend taking Iron away from our Prenatal Multi, as Iron can interact negatively with other nutrients. We also recommend taking only as much as you need (some mamas do not need to supplement), as too much supplemental Iron can generate oxidative stress and alter the gut microbiome. Talk to your health practitioner about testing your Iron status before, during, and after pregnancy, and supplement if you are falling short. Our Iron is bound to Glycine for better absorption and digestive comfort.
Why 8 Capsules?
8 capsules allows our Prenatal Multi to deliver all of the vitamins, minerals, and botanicals needed for complete, comprehensive nourishment — many of the best nutrients are bulky and can’t fit into 1- or 2-a-day prenatal capsules. You’ll see that a number of nutrient dosages are quite unique including 400mg of Choline and 200mg of Magnesium. With our capsules, it is easy to divide the full dose among meals throughout the day.
When should I start taking the Prenatal Multi?
Take it before, during, after pregnancy — and even beyond — for the nourishment you need to feel your best and avoid depletion, and to give your baby everything their body needs to thrive from the very start. 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.
Why do the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multi exceed the percent Daily Value?
We designed our Prenatal Multi to help you thrive, not just survive. Daily Values are set off of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) which most often do not offer enough nutritional value for pregnant and nursing women.
Is your Prenatal Multi vegan, allergen free, and Non-GMO?
Our Prenatal Multi is vegetarian and non-GMO. Free of 9 major allergens and gluten.
Can I give it to my partner?
Yes, we do. We’re working on a specific formula for the men in our lives that will have a few more sperm boosters. In the meantime, our Prenatal Multi paired with our Men's Omega-3+ and Men's Pre/Probiotic is a great start. Conception is a two-way street.
Will the Prenatal Multi make my urine a bright yellow?
It may at times, especially with consistent use. B Vitamins in particular can cause urine to change to a bright yellow hue. Your body is excreting what it doesn’t need. We use nutrients forms that are most easily absorbed by the body, but because we set dosages to be fully supportive, the nutrient amounts may sometimes be more than you need. At our dosages, this is not harmful in any way, but just a guarantee you hit optimal amounts. Less is not more in our mind!
Where is the Prenatal Multi Manufactured?
The Prenatal Multi is manufactured in the United States at an FDA registered facility that has third party GMP certification.
What kind of testing do you do?
We test all products for quality and safety at third-party laboratories including tests for nutritional content, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, microbes, and other contaminants.
Everything makes me nauseous while I am pregnant, will your product work for me?
Many pregnant mamas find it helpful to take smaller doses throughout the day with meals (i.e. 3 with breakfast, 3 with lunch, 2 with dinner). Our pared down Prenatal Multi Essentials for first trimester nausea is coming soon!
Why do you suggest taking more than just the Prenatal Multi?
Our Prenatal Multi is the most comprehensive available, but some extra support is always needed during this life stage. Our products are designed to be taken together. We recommend pairing the Prenatal Multi with our Omega-3+, Collagen Protein, and Pre/Probiotic to fully support you and baby before, during, and after pregnancy. Keeping the products separate allows us to maintain quality. For example, we find the Omega-3 (DHA + EPA) is compromised when taken out of the context and mixed into a multivitamin.
Why should I start a subscription? How does a subscription work?
Daily, continuous supplementation is needed to maintain optimal levels for you and your baby before, during, and after pregnancy. Our subscription ensures you never miss a day of optimal nourishment. We’ll send you an email each month, a few days before we charge you and ship your next box. You can delay an order, or cancel your subscription at any time, right from your account page.
I’m not yet pregnant or a mama, is your product still for me?
Yes, our product is tailored for before, during, and after pregnancy, but it is beneficial at all stages of life. Research suggests that a mama’s habits prior to conception influence her baby’s well-being not just at birth, but also for its entire lifetime. We recommend taking our Prenatal Multi prior to becoming pregnant to build your stores of key nutrients that are commonly depleted during pregnancy. The more you have prior to pregnancy, the better you may be able to feel during pregnancy.
What happens if I miss a day? Or a few days?
Don't sweat it. We know how busy life can get. We suggest building your Prenatal Multi consumption into an existing routine (like your morning smoothie), to keep the habit strong. Taking your Prenatal Multi every day will provide positive, long-lasting results.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Domestic orders with in-stock products are estimated to arrive within 3 to 5 business days after leaving our warehouse. Shipping costs may apply to one-time orders. International shipping speeds vary by location but typically arrive within 8 to 16 business days after leaving our warehouse. A shipping notification with a tracking link is emailed to you as soon as your order ships.
