Why Real Food Ingredients Matter
Whole-food nutrients come with naturally occurring cofactors that enhance absorption and utilisation. For instance, natural vitamin E from sunflower contains mixed tocopherols, whereas synthetic versions often provide only one form. Similarly, food-based B vitamins are more readily recognized by the body than isolated compounds.
Primitive Scientific’s commitment to using real food sources means you receive a multivitamin that works with your body’s natural processes. The absence of synthetic fillers also reduces the risk of gastrointestinal irritation, a common side effect of many prenatal supplements. Many women find this formula gentle on the stomach, allowing consistent undertake throughout their pregnancy journey.
