Product Details

These two essential products — our Prenatal Multi and Omega-3 (DHA + EPA) — are designed to meet your (and your baby’s) optimal micronutrient needs*.

If you are preparing to conceive or freeze your eggs, we recommend adding on our Egg Quality Support Plan to support optimal egg health.

Prenatal Multi (Powder, Capsules, or Essentials)
24 optimal vitamins and minerals that mamas and babies need.

We formulated our Prenatal Multi by testing thousands of mamas' nutrient levels to know what's truly needed to thrive, not just survive. Our Prenatal Multi includes 24 optimal vitamins and minerals that mamas and babies need.

Omega-3
Our Omega-3+ is optimally paired with Choline and antioxidants.

95% of mamas aren’t meeting their Omega-3 (DHA+EPA) needs. Give your body the Omega-3 it needs for fetal development, hormonal and mood balance, postpartum recovery, healthy breastmilk, a healthy inflammatory response, and more. We source ours from cleanly and sustainably-grown vegan algae.

How to Use

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

We recommend taking our Prenatal Multi with a meal, it may be taken in divided doses throughout the day. 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.

Our Omega-3+ should also be taken with food. For optimal Choline absorption, we suggest taking the Omega-3+ at a different time than the Prenatal Multi.

As a dietitian, I strive to help my clients achieve optimal nutrition through food. Even with the most thoughtfully planned diet, it's nearly impossible to meet daily requirements through food alone. I recommend that women complement their diet with a wide range of bioavailable forms of nutrients like those found in Needed's Women's Health Multi. The quality of Needed's supplements is unmatched.

Does your prenatal leave out what you don’t need?
Unnecessary fillers

Nutrients better taken separately including Omega-3 and Iron
Ingredients sourced unsustainably like Vegan D3
Nutrients you don't need more of like Boron
High heavy metal loads (found in most food-based vitamins)
