What makes Needed's Prenatal Multivitamin Pro different from others?
What makes Needed's Prenatal Multivitamin Pro different from others?
We work directly with practitioners who regularly test women's nutrient levels before, during, and after pregnancy to know what's truly needed.
Together, we have selected nutrient forms of 26 vitamins, minerals, and botanicals that work best in the body, and dosages intended to help you thrive, not just survive. Most prenatals are designed to meet bare minimum needs, and often contain inadequate nutrient amounts and tough-to-absorb forms.
When should I start taking the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro?
When should I start taking the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro?
Take it before, during, after pregnancy — and even beyond — for the more supportive nourishment you need to feel your best and help avoid depletion. We like to stress the importance of preconception nutritional preparation and postpartum recovery, so this product is for you even if you are a few years away from having kids or a few years postpartum.
Why do the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multivitamin Pro exceed the percent Daily Value?
Why do the amounts of some of the nutrients in Prenatal Multivitamin Pro exceed the percent Daily Value?
Daily Values (%DV) are based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs). These standards reflect the bare minimum needed to avoid a disease condition. In addition, 83% of the studies that informed the current RDAs excluded women.
Significant research suggests that, for certain nutrients, amounts above the RDA may better support maternal and infant outcomes.
Our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro is formulated to reflect both established standards and current clinical research, with dosing decisions guided by safety data and practitioner expertise.
Why do you offer Iron separately?
Why do you offer Iron separately?
We recommend taking Iron away from our Prenatal Multivitamin Pro for optimal absorption as Iron and some other minerals absorb best apart. We also recommend taking only as much as you need, as too much supplemental Iron can generate oxidative stress and alter the gut microbiome.*
We recommend testing your ferritin levels. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medications.
Our Iron is bound to Glycine for better absorption and digestive comfort.*

Many pregnant mothers find it helpful to take smaller doses throughout the day with meals (i.e. 3 with breakfast, 3 with lunch, 2 with dinner). Our 3 Capsule Prenatal Multivitamin is a great option for those who prefer fewer capsules. If you need more information, please download our Getting Started Guide.
Is the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro Clinically Studied?
Is the Prenatal Multivitamin Pro Clinically Studied?
Yes. In our Prenatal Nutrient Status Study, an IRB-approved observational cross-sectional clinical research study, we compared blood levels of nutrients among 235 pregnant women living across the US, by the type of prenatal vitamin they were taking. Women taking the Needed Prenatal Multivitamin Pro had significantly higher blood levels of key nutrients for pregnancy including Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, Vitamin K2, and Selenium, compared to the women taking the standard prenatal.
Do Needed Prenatal Multivitamins contain Methylated Folate?
Do Needed Prenatal Multivitamins contain Methylated Folate?
Yes. Needed’s Prenatal Multivitamins contain Optifolin+®, a bioavailable, fully bioactive methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) enriched with choline providing superior benefits for healthy methylation, setting it apart from other forms of methylfolate. Other forms of methylfolate utilize salts, such as calcium or glucosamine salts, which need to be present to support the stability of methylfolate but do not enable this nutritionally synergistic benefit.
Methylated (5-MTHF) folate and folic acid are two different forms of folate. 5-MTHF is the active form that the body can directly use, while folic acid is a synthetic form that must be converted before it becomes active. We choose methylated folate because it is the form naturally used by the body and is a well-studied, bioavailable source that supports healthy folate status.
Adequate folate intake supports maternal health by supporting normal cell division and the formation of red blood cells, which are essential for energy production and oxygen delivery during pregnancy.* Folate also plays a critical role in fetal development by supporting neural tube formation and healthy cellular growth and function.* Learn more about why we choose methylated folate here.
