Essential Nutrients for a Healthy Pregnancy
Every pregnancy brings unique nutritional demands, and a high-quality supplement can help bridge the gap between diet and optimal intake. Each two-tablet serving of Natural Factors Whole Earth & Sea Women's Prenatal provides 700 mcg of folate (as folic acid), a B vitamin that contributes to the normal development of the baby's neural tube during the early weeks of pregnancy. The formula also delivers 30 mg of iron, which supports red blood cell formation and oxygen transport, helping to maintain energy levels when your body is working harder. Calcium and vitamin D work together to maintain bone health for both mother and child, while vitamin B12 supports nerve function and energy metabolism. Always refer to the label for the full nutrient profile.
What Makes Whole Earth & Sea Prenatal Different?
Unlike many synthetic multivitamins, this product takes a whole-food approach. Many ingredients are grown on Natural Factors' own organic, non-GM farm and gently processed to preserve their nutritional integrity. The nutrients are presented within a complex food matrix, which some evidence suggests may enhance absorption and be kinder to the digestive system. The tablets are free from dairy, sugar, gluten, yeast, corn, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, and GMOs, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
Kind on Your Stomach
During the first trimester, many women experience nausea or digestive upset from standard prenatal vitamins. The whole-food base of this supplement is often better tolerated than highly concentrated synthetic forms. The iron source is also gentle when taken with a meal. To minimise any discomfort, take the tablets with food and plenty of water. Many users report that the natural ingredients make this supplement easier to digest than others they have tried.
Adding This Prenatal to Your Daily Routine
For best results, take two tablets daily—one in the morning and one in the evening, or both together with a meal as advised by your health care professional. Consistency is important: setting a daily reminder or pairing the supplement with a regular habit, such as brushing your teeth, can help you remember. Since prenatal vitamins are most effective when started before conception, consider beginning this routine as soon as you plan to become pregnant. Continue throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding to support ongoing nutritional needs.
Dedication to Quality
Natural Factors is a family-owned company that is Carbon Neutral and third-party certified. They oversee every stage of manufacturing directly, ensuring the highest standards. Many of the raw fruits, vegetables, and herbs are grown on their own organic, non-GM farm. This commitment to quality gives you confidence in every tablet.
Support for You and Your Baby Throughout Pregnancy

This vegan-friendly formula provides key vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, calcium, and vitamin B12—all derived from real fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown on organic, non-GM farms.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start taking prenatal vitamins?
Health experts generally recommend beginning a prenatal vitamin at least one month before trying to conceive. This ensures that key nutrients like folate are already at adequate levels to support early neural tube development, which occurs before many women know they are pregnant.
Can I take this prenatal if I have food allergies?
Yes. This product is free from the top allergens including dairy, soya, gluten, eggs, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts. However, always check the label for the most current information and consult your doctor if you have specific concerns.
Why is folate important during pregnancy?
Folate (or its synthetic form folic acid) is crucial for the formation of the neural tube, which becomes the baby's brain and spinal cord. Adequate intake before and during early pregnancy supports the normal development of the neural tube and reduces the risk of neural tube defects.
Is this supplement suitable for vegans?
Absolutely. Natural Factors Whole Earth & Sea Women's Prenatal is vegan-friendly, with no animal-derived ingredients. It also carries certifications for non-GM and gluten-free status.
What makes the whole-food approach beneficial?
The whole-food matrix used in this prenatal supplement provides nutrients in a form that the body may recognise and utilise more efficiently. Some research suggests that whole-food-based nutrients may be better absorbed and gentler on the digestive system compared to isolated synthetic forms.
