Designs for Health Prenatal Pro Methylated Multivitamin for Women (120 Capsules)

The Science Behind Methylated Folate

Many prenatal supplements rely on folic acid, a synthetic form that must be converted into its active state in the body. However, a notable portion of women carry genetic variations (MTHFR) that hinder this conversion. Prenatal Pro provides L-methylfolate directly—the bioactive form that your body can use straight away. This is especially crucial during the first trimester when neural tube development is rapid. By choosing methylated folate, you’re ensuring optimal delivery of this critical nutrient.

Key Nutrients for Every Stage

Prenatal Pro offers a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals essential for maternal health and foetal development. Here's what makes it stand out:

• L-Methylfolate (1,000 mcg) – The active form of folate, ready for your body to use without further conversion. Folate contributes to normal maternal tissue growth and blood formation.
• Iron (18 mg as ferrous bisglycinate) – A chelated, non-constipating form that contributes to normal oxygen transport and energy-yielding metabolism.
• Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) – Contributes to normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and supports normal immune function.
• Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) – Contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones.
• Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc – Chelated forms for superior absorption. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function; zinc contributes to normal cell division.
• Iodine (150 mcg) – Contributes to normal thyroid function.

Gentle on the Stomach: Chelated Minerals and Iron

Pregnancy can bring digestive sensitivity, and many women avoid iron supplements due to constipation. Prenatal Pro use ferrous bisglycinate, a chelated form of iron that is well-tolerated and less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Chelated minerals—such as magnesium glycinate, zinc picolinate, and selenium—are bound to amino acids for enhanced absorption. This means you get more benefit from each capsule, with fewer side effects.

How to Incorporate Prenatal Pro into Your Routine

For best results, take 2 capsules daily with a meal and plenty of water. Starting supplementation at least three months before conception helps build adequate nutrient stores. Continue throughout pregnancy and while nursing to support both your health and your baby's needs. As with any supplement, consult your health care provider to determine the right dosage for your individual circumstances.
