Product Details

The most comprehensive, clinically-studied Prenatal Multivitamin Pro in capsule form including 26 nutrients in optimal forms and dosages that mothers and babies need.*

We formulated our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro in collaboration with perinatal practitioners, using data from testing thousands of women’s nutrient levels to help you thrive, not just survive.

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

*Our IRB approved clinical study examined 235 pregnant women living across the US, and compared blood levels of nutrients by the type of prenatal they were taking. Women taking the Needed Prenatal Multivitamin Pro had significantly higher blood levels of key nutrients for pregnancy including Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin K2, and Selenium, compared to the women taking the standard prenatal.

Our results indicate that the Standard Prenatal group had a significantly higher percentage of women falling below sufficient ranges for blood levels of Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Selenium, and Zinc, compared to women taking the Needed Prenatal Multivitamin Pro. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence to suggest that the standard prenatal vitamin is not cutting it.

Comprehensive nutrition that doesn't compromise


We've included all the essential vitamins, minerals, and botanicals your body needs for comprehensive nourishment. Unlike typical 1- or 2-a-day prenatals, our formula has room for the bulky nutrients that matter most—at dosages that actually make a difference.

Each serving delivers 200mcg of active B12 to support optimal levels, 400mg of Choline, 4,000 IUs of Vitamin D3 (2-4x more than most prenatals), 918mcg DFE of methylated Folate, plus minerals bound to Glycine for superior absorption and digestive comfort*.

What we leave out matters, too


Every ingredient is vetted by perinatal experts. We've excluded poor nutrient forms like Folic Acid, unsustainably-sourced ingredients such as Vegan D3, formulations with high heavy metal loads, and nutrients like Omega-3 and Iron that are better taken separately.

Our Prenatal Multis include methylfolate as Optifolin+®, a bioavailable, fully bioactive folate form. This unique folate form delivers superior biological benefits that support critical processes like your baby's brain development—advantages other methylfolate forms simply can't provide.

Citrus Prenatal Multi note: Each bottle includes an EU Food compliant citrus sachet made with natural citrus essential oils (no artificial colors or fragrance) to enhance scent and taste without adding ingredients to the vitamins themselves.
How to Use

When to take: With food, ideally in the morning or around lunchtime for optimal energy throughout the day.

Flexible dosing: Split your serving between meals if preferred.

Starting out: If switching from a less nutrient-dense prenatal, begin with 2 capsules daily and work up to 8 capsules.

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.

What makes Needed's Prenatal Multivitamin Pro different from others?

We work directly with practitioners who regularly test women's 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.
When should I start taking the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro?

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 do the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multivitamin Pro 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 Pro is formulated to reflect both established standards and current clinical research, with dosing decisions guided by safety data and practitioner expertise.
Why do you offer Iron separately?

We recommend taking Iron away from our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro 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.*
Is your Prenatal Multivitamin Pro vegan, allergen free, and Non-GMO?

Our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro is vegetarian and non-GMO. Free of eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nut allergens, wheat, and gluten.
Everything makes me nauseous while I am pregnant, will your product work for me?

Many pregnant mothers find it helpful to take smaller doses throughout the day with meals (i.e. 3 with breakfast, 3 with lunch, 2 with dinner). Our 3 Capsule Prenatal Multivitamin is a great option for those who prefer fewer capsules. If you need more information, please download our Getting Started Guide.
Is the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro Clinically Studied?

Yes. In our Prenatal Nutrient Status Study, an IRB-approved observational cross-sectional clinical research study, we compared blood levels of nutrients among 235 pregnant women living across the US, by the type of prenatal vitamin they were taking. Women taking the Needed Prenatal Multivitamin Pro had significantly higher blood levels of key nutrients for pregnancy including Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin K2, and Selenium, compared to the women taking the standard prenatal.
Do Needed Prenatal Multivitamins contain Methylated Folate?

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 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.

    This prenatal has every thing I need for nursing in addition to what my naturopath suggests as someone with an autoimmune disease. Thankful this brand was introduce by my naturopath in the first place with the higher dose version of the needed prenatal when we were praying for our first child. And now as a first time mom who forgets some times to take her supplements, it is easier to spot in my lineup and remember because of the design!

    Love it

    I’ve been taking this product my whole pregnancy (now 33 weeks) and am more than happy with it. While it’s a lot of pills, the amount of nutrients you get with this product over others is hands down superior. It’s worth it!

    My wife’s Naturopath prefers Needed due to the quality and quantities of vitamins and minerals in the prenatal vitamin. She was taking another prenatal previously but switched due to a recommendation from her Naturopath.

    Best prenatal vitamin I've tried.

    I've had 2 kids, and tried a few prenatal vitamins. These are the only ones I've had that don't make me nauseous. My youngest is a year now and I still take them to keep up on extra vitamin intake while breastfeeding.
