We formulated our Prenatal Multi by testing thousands of mother's nutrient levels to know what's truly needed to thrive, not just survive.

Our Omega-3 (DHA & EPA) is optimally paired with Choline and antioxidants.

Support your body with essential nutrients for fetal development, hormonal and mood balance, postpartum recovery, healthy breastmilk, a healthy inflammatory response, and more. We source ours from clean and sustainable sources.
How to Use

The products in our Starter Plan are designed to be taken together to optimally nourish mother and baby before, during, and after pregnancy*.

Prenatal Multi:

When to take: With a full meal, ideally in the morning or around lunchtime for optimal energy throughout the day. Avoid within 5 hours of bedtime due to energizing nutrients

Flexible dosing: Split your serving between meals if preferred

Starting out: If switching from a less nutrient-dense prenatal, start with half doses and work your way up to the full recommended dosage:

- Multi Powder: Begin with ½ scoop, work up to 2 scoops
- Multi Capsules: Begin with 4 capsules, work up to 8 capsules
- Multi Essentials: Take all 3 capsules (can divide between meals or take before bed if nauseous)

Powder only: Mix into smoothies, beverages, or soft foods like yogurt. Avoid hot liquids and don't take on an empty stomach

Omega-3 Fish Oil or Omega-3+ Vegan:

- Take 2 softgels daily with food
- For optimal Choline absorption, take at a different time than your Prenatal Multi

    My favorite prenatal

    This prenatal has such good quality ingredients, is affordable (shipped to my door even better) and I love the mint scent packet in my container! Makes them so much easier to take. I have only been taking them for a month and I do genuinely feel like my body is loving it. Would reccomend to anyone!!!!

    Great products!

    I switched to Needed after learning more about nutrient requirements for conception and pregnancy, and after experiencing a previous loss. I’ve been really happy with these products and would recommend to anyone!

Questions? We have answers.

Thoughtful inquiry is needed.

What's the difference between the 3 Prenatal Multis?

We offer three prenatal multivitamin options:

Capsules vs. Powder:
Our Prenatal Multi Capsules (8 per day) and Prenatal Multi Powder (2 scoops per day) contain equivalent nutrients—it's just personal preference. You can also combine them (4 capsules = 1 scoop). For example, take one scoop in a smoothie with breakfast and 4 capsules with lunch.

Essentials:
Our Prenatal Multi Essentials is a simplified 3-capsule version with robust amounts of the most impactful nutrients (like Folate), but reduced levels of space-heavy nutrients (Calcium, Choline, Magnesium). It's ideal for first-trimester nausea or longer-term use after breastfeeding. Our full Capsules (8/day) and Powder (2 scoops/day) are designed for optimal support through pregnancy and postpartum, including breastfeeding.

View our comparison chart or read more about why we created Essentials.
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 the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multi Essentials exceed the percent Daily Value?

We designed our Prenatal Multi Essentials to help you thrive, not just survive, even when 8 capsules isn't an option. Daily Values are set off of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) which most often do not offer enough nutritional value for women, especially while pregnant or nursing. Read our journal article on the topic to learn more.
What's the difference between the 2 Omegas?

Both are highly supportive sources of Omega-3s. The main difference is sourcing: our Omega-3 is from fish oil, while Omega-3+ Vegan is from microalgae. The Omega-3+ Vegan also contains additional antioxidant support and a Choline boost.

We recommend Omega-3+ Vegan if you're vegan or need extra Choline, and Omega-3 from fish oil if you're getting sufficient Choline from your multivitamin and diet.
How do I know if I need Omega-3?

Research shows that up to 95% of women are not getting Omega-3s enough from their diet. Even if you are not deficient, additional Omega-3 intake can help support your health, especially during pregnancy as DHA makes up about ⅓ of brain lipids. Pregnancy and breastfeeding take a toll on women, as the body gives up nutrient reserves to build baby. Baby's optimal brain, nerve, and eye development is supported by ample intake of Omega-3 from the start.*

Depending on someone's individual needs, two (2) to four (4) softgels of Omega-3 or capsules of Omega-3+ Vegan can be taken daily with a meal. We recommend talking to your doctor or a nutritional expert to determine the right dosage for you.
Are your Omega-3 products vegan, allergen free, and Non-GMO?

Our Omega-3 fish oil is non-GMO. Free of eggs, fish allergens, milk, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy allergens, tree nuts, wheat, gluten and unwanted fillers.

Our Omega-3+ Vegan is vegan and non-GMO. Free of 9 major allergens, gluten, and unwanted fillers.
