Product Description
Thorne Research Basic Prenatal offers support for pregnant women. Basic Prenatal by Thorne Research was designed to be a complete vitamin and mineral supplement for pregnant and lactating women. In this multi vitamin and mineral supplement you'll find the purest and highest quality ingredients available on the market in their most well-absorbed and highly bioavailable forms (so as to reduce the risk of stomach upset). One of the most crucial vitamins for a healthy pregnancy is folate. Supplementation with folic acid reduces the risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord birth defect. Insufficient intake of folic acid during pregnancy may negatively affect fetal development. Fortunately each vegetarian capsule of Basic Prenatal provides the active forms of folic acid (L-5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate and folinic acid) in a balanced 1:1 ratio to help ensure that your body absorbs as much of this crucial vitamin as possible. Iron is also important for pregnant women but it can sometimes cause constipation; therefore this supplement contains iron in the form of picolinate which is easier on the stomach. Thorne does not include large amounts of the nutrients commonly known to cause stomach upset. Instead, smaller amounts of these nutrients are included, but in their most tissue-ready and absorbable forms for optimal utilization.
Recommended use: is 3 capsules daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
