A high-quality, whole-food based prenatal with excellent forms of B vitamins and K2, promoting good absorption and overall wellness during pregnancy. It notably lacks dedicated choline and sufficient standalone calcium/magnesium, which are critical for comprehensive prenatal support.
Quantity: 180
This prenatal stands out due to its 'raw' and whole-food derived approach, providing vitamins and minerals that are generally easier for the body to recognize and absorb. It includes methylated B12 (methylcobalamin) and a good source of folate (from S. cerevisiae), which are crucial for neural tube development and cellular health. The inclusion of Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7) is a significant advantage for bone and heart health often missed in other prenatals. However, a major drawback for a prenatal specifically is the lack of a dedicated choline source, a vital nutrient for fetal brain development, and the relatively low amounts of calcium and magnesium derived solely from the fruit/vegetable blend, requiring additional supplementation or careful dietary planning. The product's extensive list of general health goals, including 'Testosterone Support', is a minor red flag regarding the clarity of its primary focus for a prenatal vitamin, although these are likely default categories. Overall, it offers high-quality forms of many key nutrients, but could be more robust in specific areas vital for pregnancy.
- Whole-food based and 'raw' ingredients for natural nutrient delivery.
- Contains active Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) for better absorption and utilization.
- Includes Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7), beneficial for bone and cardiovascular health, a rare inclusion in prenatals.
- Good source of folate from S. cerevisiae, supporting healthy fetal development.
- Contains digestive enzymes and a fruit/vegetable blend to aid nutrient absorption and overall health.
- Lacks a dedicated and sufficient amount of Choline, a crucial nutrient for fetal brain development.
- Provides inadequate standalone amounts of Calcium and Magnesium for comprehensive prenatal needs.
- The broad and sometimes irrelevant goal descriptions (e.g., Testosterone Support) can be misleading for consumers looking for prenatal-specific benefits.
- Price per serving is at the higher end compared to many basic prenatal options.
- The listed goal of 'Testosterone Support' is completely irrelevant for a prenatal vitamin for women and may indicate an issue with product data categorization.
- Individuals with specific iron sensitivities might find the 27mg iron content to be on the higher side, potentially causing constipation or digestive discomfort.

Categories
Vitamin K 90.0
The product provides both Vitamin K1 (90mcg) and the highly bioavailable Vitamin K2 (50mcg Menaquinone-7), which is superior for bone mineralization and arterial health compared to K1 alone. This dual form approach is a strong advantage for comprehensive Vitamin K benefits.
Selenium 85.0
Providing 70mcg of Selenium sourced from S. cerevisiae, this is a beneficial amount and a good, food-based form. Selenium is crucial for thyroid function, antioxidant defense, and immune system health, making this a well-dosed inclusion for general and prenatal wellness.
Iodine 85.0
Contains 290mcg of Iodine (from organic Sea Kelp), which is essential for thyroid hormone production and critical for fetal brain development. While slightly higher than the recommended 220mcg for pregnancy, it remains within safe upper limits and provides robust support.
Goals
General Health 85.0
This prenatal provides a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals in bioavailable forms, along with whole-food blends and digestive enzymes, laying a strong foundation for overall well-being. It effectively covers daily nutritional gaps crucial for both maternal health and fetal development during pregnancy.
Immunity 80.0
Key immune-supporting nutrients such as Vitamin C (120mg from organic Amla), Vitamin D3 (35mcg), Zinc (13mg), and Selenium (70mcg) are adequately provided, bolstering the body's defenses. The added probiotic and enzyme blend also indirectly contributes to gut health, which is closely linked to immune function.
Heart Health 75.0
With Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7) supporting arterial elasticity and a robust B-vitamin complex aiding homocysteine metabolism, the product offers good foundational support for heart health. The fruit and vegetable blend also contributes antioxidants for cellular protection. Nevertheless, it does not include Omega-3 fatty acids, which are highly recommended for comprehensive cardiovascular support during pregnancy.
