Highlights

High-dose choline (550 mg) & methyl-folate (500 mcg Quatrefolic) to meet daily requirements: Methyl-folate is the most bioavailable form of folate, making it suitable for the 1 in 3 women with the MTHFR polymorphism.
Activated B vitamins with more optimal dosages (because 3 capsules).
High dose iodine & selenium: 2 forgotten about, but important minerals - especially for thyroid health.
Aquamin F provides 72 trace minerals, sourced naturally from red marine algae harvested sustainably from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean off Iceland’s coast. This natural mineral delivers bioavailable calcium, magnesium, and 72 other essential trace minerals for optimal health.
Iron-free (on purpose): For optimal absorption, iron should be taken separately from calcium and zinc. Its dosage should also be individualised based on your specific needs, trimester, and pathology during pregnancy -making it best to supplement separately from your prenatal.
Contains forms that are easy to absorb, gentle on the stomach, and won't worsen constipation or nausea, because pregnancy already does that!
Third party tested for quality assurance

We’ve redefined the prenatal standard because 1-2 capsules only have so much room

What form of folate does your prenatal contain?

Folic acid: $85 per kg
Folinic acid: $3,500 per kg
Quatrefolic (5-MTHF): $28,000 per kg

There’s a reason other brands choose folic acid and its not because of its bioavailability.

We choose Quatrefolic (methylated folate) to ensure our prenatal contains the most optimal and bioavailable form.

Questions About The Prenatal?

We've got you covered!

Why do we use methyl-folate instead of folic acid?

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate that must first be converted into its active form, methylated folate (5-MTHF), for the body to use.

60-70% of the population has an MTHFR genetic variation, which limits their ability to convert folic acid effectively. Without activated forms of B vitamins, the body cannot perform critical functions, which is especially important during pregnancy. Even for those without an MTHFR mutation, methylated folate is better absorbed and utilised than folic acid.

Cost per kg of the ingredients:

Folic acid: $85 per kg (cheap, synthetic form other brands use)
Methyl folate (5-MTHF): $28,000 per kg (expensive bioavailable form we choose)

5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the biologically active form of folate and the form found in circulation. It does not require enzymatic conversion and can be utilised directly by the body (cited from TGA).

There’s a reasons brands choose folic acid and its not because of its bioavailability.

How much choline does your prenatal contain?

Our prenatal provides 550mg of choline, meeting the entire recommended daily intake (RDI) for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, choline requirements are around 440-450mg per day. This increases to 550mg per day when breastfeeding.

Why is iron not included in the formula?

We left iron out of our formulation on purpose. Here are 3 reasons why:

Zinc and iron compete for absorption and zinc is a key ingredient for preconception health and immune support.
Iron dosage should be individualised based on your specific pathology, trimester and requirements during pregnancy. If the body doesn't need iron it can lead to an entire host of issues including inflammation.
We wanted to cater to those with iron overload issues such as haemochromatosis.

Where is the prenatal manufactured?

In QLD, Australia. We manufacture in a TGA certified facility. The Prenatal is TGA listed: 462027

Why 3 capsules?

Because we found that 1-2 capsules didn't contain enough room to optimise dosages. Folate and choline receive much attention during preconception right through to postpartum, and rightfully so, which is why The Prenatal contains 500mcg of methyl-folate and 550mg of choline. However, we wanted to ensure we didn’t overlook other essential vitamins and minerals needed to support every stage of motherhood. Using 3 capsules provided us with essentially more 'space' to include everything you and your baby needs in 3 easy-to-swallow capsules.

When should I starting taking The Prenatal?

Ideally, 3-6 months prior to conception. Otherwise we recommend starting The Prenatal as soon as you find out you're pregnant. You should continue taking The Prenatal throughout pregnancy, as well as postpartum, especially if you're breastfeeding. If you are not breastfeeding we recommend continuing it for 8 weeks postpartum, or as recommended by your health professional.

When is the best time to take The Prenatal?

Ideally, take two capsules together after breakfast (at least 30-60 minutes away from caffeine) and one at lunchtime.

Alternatively, you can take all doses together, whichever suits your lifestyle best.

We recommend avoiding taking the prenatal at night, as it contains B vitamins and vitamin D which increase energy levels, making it harder to wind down for the evening.

I have the MTHFR polymorphism, is The Prenatal safe?

Yes, we chose Quatrelfolic® for this reason (and many others). Research suggests Quatrefolic® is the most bioavailable form of L-methylfolate on the market for supporting methylation processes (especially supporting a MTHFR gene polymorphism).

Quatrefolic® is a superior form of L-methylfolate that uses glucosamine instead of calcium to bind the L-methylfolate. The glucosamine salt may be superior and more bioavailable than the calcium salt.

I’m struggling with pregnancy nausea, is there another way to take The Prenatal?

You can empty your capsules into a smoothie, coconut water or hydralyte drink. You can also freeze them into icy-poles or juice.

Do your capsules have a taste?

No, there is no taste when swallowing the capsules.

Do your capsules have a smell?

Yes, many prenatals tend to have a noticeable "smell," which is common with B vitamins and supplements containing higher doses of choline. In our formulation, ingredient quality was of the utmost importance, ensuring you receive the best possible nutrients for you and your baby.

Will it make my urine go bright yellow?

Most likely yes! This is completely harmless and is due to high dose B vitamins. The most common culprit is vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin.

Can Myo-Inositol and Hydrolysed Collagen be taken with The Prenatal?

Our products are designed to complement each other, and many individuals take them together. However, we recommend consulting your health professional to ensure they are suitable for your specific needs.

Is The Prenatal TGA Registered?

Yes it is, our medicine listing number is: AUST L 462027 and is manufactured in a TGA certified facility in QLD, Australia.
