Key Nutrients for a Healthy Pregnancy
Folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A, and ginger form the core of this carefully balanced formula. Each ingredient is chosen to support maternal and foetal wellbeing during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
-
True Folate (non-methylated folate): Folate contributes to the normal growth and development of the baby. This non-methylated form is suitable for women with diverse methylation capacities, including those with MTHFR variations.
-
Vitamin B12 (non-methylated): This vitamin contributes to normal energy metabolism and the normal function of the nervous system. The non-methylated form provides an alternative for those who prefer to avoid methylcobalamin.
-
Vitamin A: Important for normal vision and immune function, vitamin A also supports cell differentiation. The formula includes a safe level of vitamin A from beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate.
-
Ginger: Traditionally used to help ease occasional nausea and support digestive comfort during pregnancy.
What Makes This Prenatal Different?
Many prenatal vitamins contain methylated forms of folate and B12, which can cause adverse reactions in some women. Optimal Prenatal MF is specifically designed as a methyl-free alternative, using non-methylated forms that are still bioactive but less likely to trigger side effects such as anxiety or insomnia. Additionally, this formula is free from choline, betaine, and inositol, making it suitable for those who need to avoid these compounds.
Another distinguishing feature is its allergen-friendly profile: it is free from GMOs, gluten, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame, and soya. This makes it a safe choice for women with multiple food sensitivities. The inclusion of ginger also sets it apart, as ginger is not commonly found in prenatal vitamins but offers digestive support.
How to Uses Optimal Prenatal MF
Take 3 capsules daily with food, or as directed by your health care professional. Splitting the dose throughout the day may improve absorption and minimise any potential stomach upset. Consistent uses is key to maintaining adequate nutrient levels throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Since this supplement does not contain iron, you may need to discuss additional iron supplementation with your doctor, especially if you have low iron stores. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement regimen during pregnancy or nursing.
