Pre-conception, pregnancy, and nursing are critical times to optimize a mother's health and nutrition, which is important for both for mom and baby. Overall nutritional and caloric needs greatly increase during this time. However, it is often difficult for a woman to fulfill her daily nutrient needs through diet alone.

Thorne’s Basic Prenatal is specifically formulated with the special needs of conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding in mind.* Our formula contains well-absorbed, tissue-ready vitamins and minerals that are gentle on the stomach and non-constipating.*


Benefits of Thorne’s Basic Prenatal at each stage:

Pre-Conception

  • Daily multi-vitamin/mineral support for a woman of childbearing age.
  • Provides beneficial nutrients that are important from the moment of conception.


First Trimester

  • Folate facilitates healthy brain and spinal cord development.* Basic Prenatal includes the bioactive form of folate – 5-MTHF.
  • Vitamins C, B6, and K have been shown to benefit “morning sickness.”*
  • Choline supports development of baby’s brain and nervous system.*


Second Trimester

  • Contains the well-absorbed and well-researched iron bisglycinate to meet a pregnant woman’s increased need for iron. 


Third Trimester

  • Provides the extra nutrients needed for continued healthy fetal development and to prepare mom and baby for birth.* 


After Pregnancy through Nursing

  • Nutritional support for increased demand for calcium and vitamin D in the diet.

Suggested Use:

Take 3 capsules daily with food or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Warnings:

ALLERGY WARNING

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

PREGNANCY

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

INTERACTIONS

As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
