      • Functional MD / OB-GYNDr. Roxanne Pero

        “Standard prenatals give women the bare minimum when they need nourishment most. Needed goes beyond bare minimums to fight nutritional depletion.”

      • Naturopathic Doctor & Fertility ExpertDr. Leah Gordon

        “Needed adheres to a radically higher standard. They conduct research, use clinical insights, and vet every nutrient form and dose.”

      • Registered DietitianStephanie Greunke

        “Getting everything you need from food alone is nearly impossible. Needed fills the gaps to support healthy outcomes.”

         Our Founding Story 

        As mothers and trained nutritionists, we were shocked to discover how nutritionally depleted we were—despite doing “everything right.” The research confirmed it: 95% of women, from fertility through perimenopause, are deficient in key nutrients. Most women’s vitamins are built on outdated science, minimal dosing, and research conducted on men’s bodies. So we partnered with leading doctors, dietitians, and women’s health researchers to understand what women actually need. Needed was created to replenish what women are missing—raising the standard for women’s nutrition far beyond bare minimums.
