Thorne | Basic Prenatal

A complete multi, formulated with key nutrients like active folate, choline, and chelated iron to nourish mom and support baby’s development, from pre-conception through nursing.* NSF Certified for Sport® 

Pre-conception, pregnancy, and nursing are critical times to optimize a mother's health and nutrition – for both mom and baby.

At a time when overall nutritional and caloric needs greatly increase, it is often difficult for a woman to fulfill her daily nutrient needs through diet alone, particularly during the first trimester when morning sickness can prevail.

Because better absorption means less stomach upset and constipation, Basic Prenatal is formulated with the most bioavailable nutrients available that are gentle on the stomach. In addition, Basic Prenatal is made without the additives and coatings found in other prenatal supplements.

Pre-Conception

• Daily multi-vitamin/mineral support for a woman of childbearing age.
• Provides beneficial nutrients like active folate that are important from the moment of conception.

First Trimester

• Folate facilitates healthy brain and spinal cord development.* Basic Prenatal includes the bioactive form of folate – 5-MTHF.
• Choline supports development of baby’s brain and nervous system.*

Second Trimester

• Basic Prenatal contains the well-absorbed and well-researched iron bisglycinate to meet a pregnant woman’s increased need for iron.

Third Trimester

• This multi provides the extra nutrients needed for continued healthy fetal development and to prepare mom and baby for birth.*

After Pregnancy through Nursing

• Basic Prenatal provides nutritional support for increased demand for calcium and vitamin D in the diet.

Is Basic Prenatal considered a methylated multi-vitamin?

Yes, Basic Prenatal contains the methylated forms of folate and vitamin B12.

What is the difference between Basic Prenatal and Prenatal DHA?

Basic Prenatal is a multi-vitamin and mineral formula designed for women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, although Basic Prenatal may be used by any woman of childbearing age. Prenatal DHA is a fish-oil formula for women seeking essential omega-3 fatty acids before, during, and after pregnancy for healthy fetal brain development and an overall healthy pregnancy.* Prenatal DHA may be taken in conjunction with our Basic Prenatal formula. These formulas do not contain overlapped nutrients, and so they are an excellent complement to each other.

When will I see results from Basic Prenatal?

Everyone’s body is different, and therefore the timeframe can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and the type of supplement you're taking. Some people notice changes in a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Supplements work gradually to support long-term health.
