Why We Chose This

Pregnancy and nursing dramatically increase nutrient demands, yet most women struggle to meet these needs through food alone. Basic prenatal uses bioactive vitamin forms — like methylfolate for neural development and chelated minerals for absorption — that your body recognizes and utilizes efficiently. The iron formulation minimizes constipation, a common pregnancy complaint. This formula addresses the full journey from conception through nursing, making it a practical choice when nutritional gaps matter most.
