Prenatal Complete with DHA is a comprehensive, hypoallergenic, prenatal multivitamin and mineral blend that provides high-quality nutrients plus high-concentration DHA to support each phase of pregnancy, from preconception to postnatal.

The preconception, prenatal, and postnatal stages are periods when it is essential to optimize health and nutrition, both for mother and baby. Research has shown that healthy pregnancies begin with good nutrition during preconception, and it is known that overall nutrition needs rise during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In addition, factors such as first trimester nausea or morning sickness may impede a woman from being able to consume adequate nutrition to support her expanding needs.

Prenatal Complete with DHA provides the full complement of nutrients essential for pregnancy and adheres to the highest standards of purity, formulated to be free of common allergens, artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and additives. The formula includes folate as Quatrefolic (100% 5-MTHF), the biologically active form of folic acid, to meet increased requirements for fetal nervous system development as well as USP* B vitamins, Albion TRAACS chelated mineral complexes, and Ferrochel iron for enhanced mineral bioavailability and gentleness on the stomach.

• Supports healthy metabolism during the preconception, prenatal, and postnatal stages
• Provides macronutrients and micronutrients essential for energy production and fetal development
• Supports healthy fetal nervous system development

Suggested Use: 3 capsules and 1 soft gel per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS:

Bioavailability - Nutrients must be highly bioavailable to improve the body’s nutrient balance. Unlike other formulas, which use low-quality minerals with slow and limited absorption that can often cause intestinal distress, such as constipation (calcium carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide), Prenatal Complete with DHA provides a full spectrum of highly absorbed Albion® mineral chelates. Albion® is the world leader in manufacturing highly bioavailable mineral chelates, a specialized form of minerals bound to amino acids. This patented process creates natural mineral compounds that use active absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract to greatly enhance mineral absorption.

Folate - Folate is needed very early in pregnancy, and it is recommended that women take folate when planning to become pregnant since folate needs are high around the time of conception. Adequate folate nutrition before and during pregnancy supports healthy development of the fetal brain and spinal column, and it ensures and overall healthy pregnancy outcome. Prenatal Complete with DHA provides 5-MTHF as 100% Quatrefolic®, a more stable, soluble and bioavailable form than calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF. Supplementing with bioactive 5-MTHF allows for the bypassing of steps in folate metabolism, which may be especially beneficial in those with digestive concerns or genetic variations in folate metabolism.

DHA - Intake of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, is critical during the preconception, prenatal and postnatal stages to provide continuous support for fetal nervous system development. Unfortunately, most women do not consume enough DHA through diet alone and are unaware of the important role it plays in fetal development. Prenatal Complete with DHA is formulated to contain a high-quality, purified triglyceride form of DHA, which has been proven to be more efficiently digested and absorbed by the body than other forms of DHA. It is also extensively tested to ensure heavy metals, pesticides and PCBs are removed to undetectable levels.

Iron - Since iron is critical for energy and oxygen delivery to a developing baby, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends routine iron supplementation during pregnancy, though many forms of iron cause constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort. Ferrochel® iron has been shown to help increase and maintain levels of iron while being gentle on the stomach and colon. This form relieves the stomach from having to bind minerals to amino acids, allowing iron molecules to pass easily through the intestinal wall at a rate of 3.8 times greater than iron salt forms.

Iodine - It has long been recommended that pregnant and lactating women take a prenatal supplement containing iodine for optimal thyroid health. However, only 15–20% of pregnant and nursing women currently take supplements containing iodine. A recent report from the American Academy of Pediatrics highlights the vital role that iodine plays in the development of a baby’s nervous system and brain development. New recommendations reflect this finding, stating that pregnant and lactating women should take a supplement containing iodide, a form more easily absorbed by the body.
