22 Radically Better™ nutrients, in optimal dosages:

920 mcg DFE Methylfolate (as Optifolin+®)Supports neural tube formation and healthy brain development*

150 mcg Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)Supports energy and healthy red blood cell formation*

40 mg Vitamin B6Helps ease nausea and pregnancy discomfort*

4,000 IU Vitamin D3Supports full-term pregnancy, fetal development, and bone health*

200 mg CholineSupports your baby’s brain and nervous system development*

25 mg ZincSupports your and your baby’s immune systems*

75 mg Vitamin CSupports a healthy immune system*

FertilityFolate stores need 3+ months to build. Early cell division and neural tube formation depend on it.

PreconceptionFertilization, implantation, and neural tube formation begin before most women test positive.

PregnancyNutrient demands shift with each trimester.

First TrimesterRapid organogenesis and neural development. B6 supports nausea; folate + choline drive formation.

Second TrimesterSkeletal, cardiovascular, and nervous system development accelerate. Nutrient demand rises.

Third TrimesterBlood volume peaks. Nutrient transfer to baby is highest. Demand for D, iron, and choline rises.

PostpartumRapid hormonal shifts drive mood changes, sleep disruption, hair loss, anxiety, and physical recovery.

Mix 1 scoop with milk of choice, smoothie, or any cold drink daily. For best results, mix using a handheld frother, mixer, or blender.

If nauseous: Split the scoop across two drinks, or stir it into a soft food like yogurt or oatmeal.

Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

Complete the routine with Prenatal Multivitamin Pro—more choline and magnesium, as well as calcium, lutein, and zeaxanthin.

Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medications.

  • 1941The year that Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA’s) were set. These form the foundation for prenatal nutrition guidance.
  • Fewer than <5%Of the nearly 1 million people whose data shaped these standards were pregnant or breastfeeding — in fact, most of this data was from men.
  • 350+Clinical studies since then confirm that the RDA’s fall short for pregnant and breastfeeding women

As a result, 95% of women taking standard prenatals are still nutritionally depleted.

Needed was built to meet the clinical evidence—optimal doses, not minimums.

      I started taking these prenatals
      before starting trying to
      conceive with my partner. Could
      not recommend enough! llove
      that they don't contain iron since
      I had just gotten an iron infusion
      and did not need to supplement
      iron.

      the bare minimum when they
      need nourishment most. Needed

      to fight nutritional depletion."

    • William U.VERIFIED BUYER

      My wife's Naturopath prefers
      Needed due to the quality and
      quantities of vitamins and
      minerals in the prenatal vitamin.
      She was taking another prenatal
      previously but switched due to a
      recommendation from her
      Naturopath.

       Questions? We've got answers. 

      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.

      We recommend taking Iron away from our Prenatal Multivitamin Powder 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.*

      Daily Values (%DV) are based on the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs).These standards reflect the bare minimum needed to avoid a deficiency. 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 Powder is formulated to reflect both established standards and current clinical research, with dosing decisions guided by safety data and practitioner expertise.

      Our Prenatal Multivitamin Powder is vegetarian and made without the 9 major allergens and gluten.

      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.

      Calcium is included at 200mg in Prenatal Multivitamin Pro and not included in our Prenatal Multivitamin Powder.

      The reason for this is nutrient prioritization. Calcium is a key mineral that we recognize as highly important in the perinatal lifestage. However, our preferred form of Calcium (di-calcium malate, DimaCal(R)) takes up a lot of space in the capsules and would not be compatible with a 3 capsule prenatal. Instead, we continue to recommend a calcium-rich diet to support during the perinatal lifestage, as meeting Calcium needs through diet is generally more realistic, feasible and preferred versus just from supplements.

      The RDA for Calcium is 1,000mg and providing a meaningful amount via supplements can be challenging in a reasonable serving size.
