Product Details

95% of women taking standard prenatals are still nutritionally depleted.

So we made our Prenatal Multivitamin with 22 nutrients at clinically studied dosages of key nutrients, offering 8x the support of the average of leading prenatals†.

Whether you’re navigating first-trimester nausea or the daily demands of your busy life, you deserve a streamlined formula that delivers meaningful nutrition.

Clinical Study

Over 350 clinical studies show that the Recommended Daily Allowances for Pregnancy and Breastfeeding are outdated, leaving 95% of women taking standard prenatals depleted.

Because you and your baby deserve better, we conducted our own, IRB-approved clinical study of 235 pregnant women. Here’s what we learned: Standard Prenatals fall short in Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Selenium, and Zinc, which play essential roles in fetal development, immune health, and supporting a full-term birth.* In our clinical study we found that women taking our dosages of Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Selenium, and Zinc showed significantly higher blood nutrient levels of these nutrients compared to women in the Standard Prenatal group.

Needed Prenatal Multivitamin includes clinically informed levels of the nutrients you really need to fight depletion:

  • 100 mcg Vitamin D3 to support a healthy, full-term birth, respiratory health, fetal development, and bone health
  • 40 mg Vitamin B6 to support through pregnancy discomforts, such as nausea
  • 200 mcg Selenium to support thyroid function and immune health
  • 25 mg Zinc to support you and your baby’s immune systems
  • 200 mg Choline to support your baby’s brain and nervous system development

+ Chromium, Magnesium, Copper, Biotin, Niacin, and Thiamin at meaningfully supportive levels

3 capsules. 8x more nutrition.

Prenatal Multivitamin includes 22 nutrients in forms chosen for their bioavailability, all at optimal dosing levels. Every ingredient is vetted by perinatal experts and third-party tested for purity and potency.

Each 3-capsule serving delivers:

  • Folate as Optifolin+® (Methylfolate + Choline): Supports neural tube formation and healthy methylation
  • 200 mg Choline: Supports baby’s brain and nervous system development
  • 150 mcg active B12 (two forms): Supports energy metabolism
  • 40 mg active B6: Supports pregnancy nausea and fetal development
  • 100 mcg Vitamin D3: Supports immune health for mother + baby

+ More of the nutrients you need to support healthy fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Nutrition You Can Trust

We formulate our products based on the latest clinical research and clinical insights from women’s health experts. Unlike most women’s vitamins, we don’t rely solely on national nutrition standards, which are often based on bare minimums, and lack research on women’s specific needs.

We’re proud to be recommended by over 15,000 women’s health practitioners.

Each batch of Needed product passes through 2,000+ quality checkpoints — from raw material qualification to finished product release.
How to Use

When to take: Take 3 capsules daily with food, ideally in the morning or at lunch for optimal energy throughout the day.

Flexible dosing: Divide between meals, or take before bedtime if you're feeling too nauseous.

Ready for more: If and when you need more support, try our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro. Or try our Prenatal Multivitamin Powder, an easier way to take your prenatals with your morning smoothie or afternoon snack.

Storage: Store fully sealed in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medications.

Questions? We have answers.

Thoughtful inquiry is needed.

How is the Multivitamin different from your Multivitamin Pro and Powder?

With our Prenatal Multivitamin, we pared down our original Prenatal Multivitamin Pro (eight capsules or powder) to 3 capsules as we get it, sometimes a giant handful of pills or a powder just isn't in the cards. With our 3 capsules, you can feel confident you are getting 8x more nutrition than leading prenatals+, at clinically-studied dosages of key nutrients that make all the difference. If you do love smoothies or don’t mind more pills, our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro (eight capsules or powder) delivers more Choline and Magnesium, and also includes Calcium, Lutein, and Zeazanthin.
When should I start taking the Prenatal Multivitamin?

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.
Why does your Prenatal Multi not include Calcium?

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

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(R)) takes up a lot of space in the capsules and would not be compatible with a 3 capsule 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.
Why do you offer Iron separately?

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.*
Why do the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multvitamin exceed the percent Daily Value?

Daily Values (%DV) are based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). These standards reflect the bare minimum needed to avoid a disease condition. In addition, 83% of the studies that informed the current RDAs excluded women. 

Significant research suggests that, for certain nutrients, amounts above the RDA may better support maternal and infant outcomes. 

Our Prenatal Multivitamin is formulated to reflect both established standards and current clinical research, with dosing decisions guided by safety data and practitioner expertise.
Is your Prenatal Multivitamin vegan, allergen free, and Non-GMO?

Our Prenatal Multivitamin is vegetarian and non-GMO. Free of 9 major allergens and gluten.
Everything makes me nauseous while I am pregnant, will your product work for me?

We know, even 3 capsules can be hard. We suggest taking 1 per meal, if you can. These capsules can also be opened to combine with a smoothie or soft food. We offer additional insights on managing nausea in pregnancy in this article. If you need more information, please download our Getting Started Guide.
Do Needed Prenatal Multivitamins contain Methylated Folate?

Yes. Needed’s Prenatal Multivitamins contain include 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 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.

    The best prenatal

    After doing lots of research it was discouraging to read how many prenatals don't have the proper nutrients for mom/baby to thrive. That was until I found NEEDED. I feel so confident I'm getting all of the essentials nutrients my body/baby needs. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have had such an incredible experience. Thank you Needed for being a company I trust.

    Loving these!

    I am not yet pregnant, but have been taking these for several months. I love the natural ingredients and knowing that I’m consuming top-quality vitamins. I believe pre-conception nutrition is something so important that’s often overlooked! I love that these have everything I could need.

    Prenatal Multi Essentials

    I’ve tried several prenatal vitamins, and this one truly stands out. The ingredient quality is thoughtful and comprehensive. I didn’t experience nausea or digestive issues, which has been a problem for me with other prenatals. It’s reassuring to know I’m getting clean, well-sourced nutrients without unnecessary fillers or artificial ingredients. Overall, this prenatal gives me confidence that I’m supporting a healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I would absolutely recommend it to other moms looking for a high-quality prenatal they can trust.

    Full Confidence

    I compared all the popular prenatal vitamin brands (Ritual, FullWell, Needed, etc) before choosing this one. Why I love Needed's is that you're getting all the nutrients you need and nothing you don't. Plus, I like that it doesn't include iron, as that is something that everyone needs different amounts of. I've been taking these prenatals every day for 3 months to prepare my body for conception, and not even one month in, I noticed my energy levels were higher. I used to rely on a cup of coffee in the afternoon, but these vitamins carried me through the day with no crashing. 8 pills is a lot, and is something I was nervous about since I'm not a great pill taker, but I take 4 with breakfast and 4 with lunch and have had no issues. I'm hoping to conceive soon and feel confident that these supplements (along with nutrition, exercise, sleep, hydration, etc.) have adequately prepared my body. 10/10 recommend!
