A Different Approach to Prenatal Nutrition
Unlike many one-a-day prenatals that can be harsh on the stomach, New Chapter’s formula is designed to be taken any time—even on an empty stomach. This is a game-changer for women who experience nausea during pregnancy. The gentle, fermented nutrient base means you can get the vitamins you need without the unwanted side effects. Moreover, the inclusion of methylfolate and choline sets this product apart for the 35+ demographic, addressing specific nutritional concerns that become more relevant with age. The fermentation process makes vitamins and minerals more gentle on the stomach and more recognisable to the body, enhancing absorption and reducing digestive upset.
Key Nutrients for Mum 35+
Every ingredient in this formula serves a purpose. Here are the standout nutrients you’ll find in each daily tablet:
-
Methylfolate: As the bioactive form of folate, methylfolate is readily used by the body. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, and this active form is especially important for women over 35, as the body may have a harder time converting folic acid.
-
Choline: Often overlooked in prenatal supplements, choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and plays a role in cellular health. New Chapter includes choline to help meet increased demands during pregnancy.
-
Gentle Iron: Iron supports the body’s increased need for oxygen transport, but many forms cause constipation. This formula uses a non-constipating iron to maintain healthy iron levels without discomfort.
-
Ginger: A clinical dose of superfood ginger is included to help maintain digestive comfort, traditionally used to soothe the stomach during pregnancy.
-
Fermented Nutrients: The fermentation process makes vitamins and minerals more gentle on the stomach and more recognisable to the body, enhancing absorption and reducing digestive upset.
Additionally, this prenatal includes nutrients that contribute to normal blood glucose levels and normal blood pressure, providing comprehensive support for mothers 35+.
How to Choose the Best Prenatal Vitamin for You
Selecting a prenatal vitamin involves looking beyond just the label. Consider these factors:
-
Form of nutrients: Active forms like methylfolate are better absorbed than synthetic folic acid, especially for women with MTHFR gene variations.
-
Gentleness: If you experience morning sickness or a sensitive stomach, look for fermented or food-based nutrients and added ginger.
-
Third-party certifications: Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and kosher certifications indicate quality and purity. This product is also 100% vegetarian and made without synthetic fillers or artificial flavours.
-
Complete profile: Ensure the formula includes iron, DHA (if needed), vitamin D, iodine, and choline—key nutrients during pregnancy.
Always consult your health care provider before starting any supplement, especially during pregnancy.
When and How to Take Prenatal Vitamins
For best results, take one tablet daily with a meal to support absorption. However, the gentle nature of this formula allows you to take it on an empty stomach if needed. Consistent daily uses helps maintain steady nutrient levels. Some women choose to pair it with a DHA supplement if not already included; check with your provider for personalized advice.
