Due to a busy lifestyle, or common pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, nausea and food aversion, it can be more difficult than usual to get all of the vitamins and minerals necessary on a daily basis to support mother and baby during these critical periods. The Complete Prenatal Protocol takes the guesswork out of nutritional support during a time when you have many important aspects to prepare for. Each protocol includes:

Daily Nutritional Support (DNS):
Prenatal vitamins can often be big, bulky, and hard-to-swallow. However, we all know they are necessary to ensure that you are meeting all of the nutritional needs during the preconception, pregnancy and postnatal periods. While it's well known that your vitamin and mineral needs are on the rise during these times, you also want to make sure that you are increasing your water, fiber, antioxidants, electrolytes and more—that's where many other prenatal vitamins miss the mark.

Activated Folate
It is recommended that women take folate when planning to become pregnant because folate needs are high around the time of conception. Folate is also essential during early pregnancy as well. Folic acid is also sometimes referred to as methylfolate, methylated folate, methyl folate, or folic acid.

This protocol includes our Activated Folate which contains methylated folate, the most biologically active form of folic acid, to meet increased requirements for fetal nervous system development without the risk of MTHFR genetic absorption issues.

Iron Response
Iron is critical for energy and oxygen delivery to a developing baby and pregnant women are at increased risk of being low in iron and becoming anemic. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends routine iron supplementation during pregnancy, however, many forms of iron cause constipation and gastrointestinal discomfort. Harsh synthetic iron supplements can also cause free radical damage from oxidation in the body.

Iron Response™ delivers a gentle and effective, food-based 26 mg of FoodState® Iron per serving. It was shown in an 8-week clinical trial to increase iron levels in patients with low iron without causing nausea or constipation.

Daily Probiotic Support:
Recent research has explored the relationship between the microbiome of mother and child. We inherit a large portion of our microbiome, which can later impact how we digest food and enhance immunity, from our mother. Our Daily Probiotic Support utilizes eight strains of highly beneficial bacterial strains that ensure you are enhancing and improving your microbiome, which in turn can help your baby.

Omega-3 Support:
Intake of omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy is critical for the development of the fetal brain and retina. Our Omega-3 Support is the leading high-quality fish oil in the industry - coming from wild-caught fish only. Plus, it contains the triglyceride (TG) form for better absorption and bioavailability than regular synthetic fish oils.

Daily Fruit & Vegetable Blend:
A mother's diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding is critical for a baby's development and growth. In order to get all of the nutrients you need, you must eat a variety of healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables. It is recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding women aim to have at least 2-4 servings of fruit and 4 or more servings of vegetables daily. Daily Fruit & Vegetable Blend will help you add 22 fruits, vegetables & superfoods to your diet every day.
