When should I start taking prenatal vitamins?

If you are thinking about becoming pregnant, it’s a good idea to start taking a prenatal multivitamin a few months before conceiving to help establish a foundation of good nutrition in the early stages of pregnancy. You’ll want to consult with your primary care practitioner, as they can guide you in choosing the best prenatal vitamins for your specific needs.†

What nutrients are in prenatal vitamins?

Growing a baby is a lot of work for your body! That’s why daily requirements for many essential nutrients increase during this important time. Yet many prenatal brands omit vital minerals and vitamins from their formulations. A prenatal multivitamin should provide a daily source of key nutrients identified as important for both mom and baby during pregnancy, such as vitamins A, C, D, E, B6 and folic acid plus minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Nature Made includes these nutrients in our prenatal softgels as part of our research-informed nutritional approach.†

What nutrients should I consider taking while I am pregnant?

Before, during, and after pregnancy, women should focus on a healthy diet that provides fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, low- or non-fat dairy and lean protein. However, according to national nutrition research from the CDC and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), many pregnant women’s diets fall short on key nutrients that are important for a healthy pregnancy, including iron, folate, vitamin D, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc.[2] Nature Made Prenatal + Folic Acid & DHA provides these essential nutrients in only 1 daily softgel to support the nutritional needs of both mom and baby.†

Is folic acid important for pregnancy and how much do I need?

Folate is an important nutrient for pregnant women, however 17% of women of childbearing age do not consume enough folate in their diet.[3] Folic acid is the form of folate commonly used in dietary supplements. Nature Made Prenatal Multivitamin + Folic Acid & DHA Softgels provide 800 mcg of folic acid, the form and dose recommended by leading medical and public health organizations including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). NHANES national nutrition surveys show that 35.8% of pregnant women do not get enough folate from food alone, making supplementation an important part of prenatal nutrition.

Does this prenatal vitamin have iron?

Yes, these prenatal softgels provide iron. Especially since over 80% of pregnant women don’t consume enough iron in their diet.[2] Women’s daily iron needs nearly double during pregnancy as your body produces more blood to support the placenta and growing baby.[4]† Our prenatal multivitamin softgels provide 27 mg of iron, the recommended amount during pregnancy, as part of our science-backed approach to supporting mom and baby's nutritional needs during this vital time.†

Should I take choline for my pregnancy?

Yes, choline is an important nutrient for expecting mothers, yet 95% of pregnant women do not meet the recommended intake level of Choline.[6] Choline supports baby’s brain and spinal cord development. Your body can make small amounts of choline, but dietary intake is still needed during pregnancy, as the mother transfers large amounts of choline to their baby through the placenta.[5]† Nature Made has Choline supplements to support your nutritional needs during this time, and it’s included in our Prenatal Multivitamin Softgels + Choline Capsules duo pack.

How much DHA do I need during pregnancy?

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is an Omega-3 fatty acid, found in fatty fish, that helps support the healthy growth and development of baby’s eyes, brain and nervous system. Experts recommend a daily intake of 200 mg for pregnant and breastfeeding women.†

How do I choose which prenatal to take?

When choosing a prenatal, it matters that the formula reflects both what experts recommend and what research shows women need. Nature Made Prenatal Softgels provide a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals aligned with pregnancy nutrition guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Medicine, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration Daily Values for pregnant women.

Are these prenatal softgels easy to swallow?

Softgels are designed to be easy to swallow and provide a smooth, convenient way to take your supplements. They also help avoid the chalky taste and texture commonly associated with tablets.

Can I give these prenatal vitamins to my child?

No, this Nature Made Prenatal Multivitamin with DHA + Folic Acid supplement is designed for adults. Check out our Kids First® Gummies for some kid-friendly supplements.

Real Stories by Real People Like You

“I switched my prenatal vitamins about a month ago, right before I actually conceived. Happy with the one capsule a day, and the ability to buy it in a 90 count bottle. Ordered it online and was quick to ship/get to me. Glad to know I can pop by most grocery stores though and pick it up if need be.“
