What’s different about your prenatal vitamins?

Our vitamins are formulated based on extensive research and use high-quality, ultra-pure ingredients. We encourage you to compare our supplement label to others on the market, and look at what’s included (choline, iron, etc.), the quality of ingredients (e.g. as folate vs folic acid), and the dosages.

How will I know these are safe? What kind of testing do you do?

We have several quality control measures in place to ensure the highest safety and quality standards for our vitamins:

• We directly test the raw material components of our vitamins to ensure their purity before they are used for production.

How big are these pills? Are they easy to swallow?

I’m not pregnant or trying to have a baby. Can I still take prenatal vitamins?

Yes! The general recommendation is for women of reproductive age to take a prenatal vitamin if they are not preventing pregnancy, planning to TTC in the near future, actively TTC, pregnant, or breastfeeding. This recommendation stems from the fact that up to 45% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Furthermore, many such pregnancies are unrecognized for the first four to six weeks—which represents a vital time for organ development, mainly for the baby's brain and spinal cord.

How often should I take your prenatals?

When trying to conceive or pregnant, take one packet a day or as directed by your doctor.

Will your prenatal vitamins cause fishy burps?

How many pills come in a pack?

Each daily pack contains five pills: two vegan DHAs and three multivitamins containing choline, folate, iron, B6, iodine, biotin, selenium, and more.

Do I have to take the pills at the same time?

That's up to you! We find it easier to remember when taking them all at once. But some people prefer to take some in the morning and the rest at bedtime.

Should I double my prenatal regimen if I’m expecting twins?

We do not recommend doubling up on prenatal vitamins as increased amounts of certain vitamins can be dangerous. In general, doctors recommend increased folate intake with twins. Please talk to your doctor about the recommended values. If you have a history of seizures and are on anticonvulsants, or if you have a history of a baby affected by a neural tube defect, talk to your doctor about increased folate intake.
