Who Needs Optimal Prenatal

Have you experienced preterm birth or other pregnancy complications? Are you concerned about nutritional deficiencies? If so, you may be wondering how to best support a healthy pregnancy.†

Pregnancy should be a beautiful and transformative experience. Worrying about your health and baby’s only puts more stress on this delicate time.

Are you seeking a potent and comprehensive prenatal? One that contains key nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy? Look no further.†

Optimal Prenatal is a powerful, nutrient-dense prenatal multivitamin formulated by epigenetics expert, Dr. Ben Lynch.†

Optimal Prenatal resulted from years of research into epigenetics, fertility, and pregnancy, including the MTHFR gene variation. It is designed for women who need more intense nutritional support and want to support a healthy pregnancy. This includes those experiencing nutritional deficiencies, pregnancy complications, or difficulty conceiving.†

Doctors recommend folate and B12 during pregnancy. These essential nutrients are known to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida), as well as other birth defects and pregnancy complications.†

Optimal Prenatal contains B12 and folate in their bioavailable, methylated forms. Your body needs these active forms for proper methylation, which is essential for healthy fetal development.†

What you’ll never find in any of Seeking Health’s dietary supplements is folic acid. This artificial version of folate can cause many side effects and may even contribute to folate deficiency!†

Optimal Prenatal also contains vitamin D to support baby’s brain development and over 30 important nutrients for pregnancy health. Unlike some other over-the-counter formulas, Optimal Prenatal contains choline, which is required in higher amounts during pregnancy due to accelerated cell division.†

It is recommended to start taking prenatal vitamins for several months before trying to conceive. Optimal Prenatal can be taken before and throughout your entire pregnancy to optimize preconception health and to support a healthy pregnancy.†

Continue Optimal Prenatal after birth to support breastfeeding and replenish nutrients lost from pregnancy. In fact, anyone seeking a nutrient-dense multivitamin can take Optimal Prenatal, including men looking to optimize their preconception health!†

Compared to our Prenatal Essentials product line, Optimal Prenatal is a more potent and comprehensive formula. None of our Seeking Health prenatals contain iron. This makes it easy to customize your dosage by supplementing separately with a gentle form of iron. All our Seeking Health prenatal vitamins are gluten-free.†

Optimal Prenatal has helped thousands of mothers to support healthy fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. Women love that they’re easy on the stomach, which is particularly important if you experience morning sickness!†

Hundreds of 5-star reviews point to Seeking Health’s Optimal Prenatal as one of the best prenatal vitamins on the market.†

Seeking Health prenatals are recommended by doctors worldwide. Now, you can feel confident knowing you have everything you need to optimize your prenatal health and support baby’s development!†

Customer Review

Trust the product & that makes it all worth it!

Key Ingredients In Optimal Prenatal

  • Vitamin A: The active form of vitamin A, as retinyl palmitate, supports optimal eye, mucus membrane, and immune system health. It also bypasses common BCO1 gene variations that can impact your body’s ability to convert vitamin A into its active form.†
  • True Folate: Features folate in its bioavailable, active forms of L-5-MTHF (methylfolate) and folinic acid (calcium folinate). Folate supports spine and brain development, healthy genetic expression, and DNA/RNA synthesis.†
  • Bioavailable B12: Active forms of B12 are included to support your body’s utilization of folate. Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are known as superior forms of vitamin B12 that your body can readily utilize.†
  • Choline: Essential for healthy brain development, methylation processes, and genetic expression during fetal development.†
  • Milk Thistle: Key for promoting glutathione production and healthy liver protection.†
  • Ginger Root & B6: Support stomach comfort and digestion due to occasional nausea or morning sickness.†

Why Optimal Prenatal Works

It’s well known that a healthy diet coupled with a high-quality prenatal vitamin can go a long way to promote a successful pregnancy.†

Optimal Prenatal is formulated by epigenetics expert, Dr. Ben Lynch ND, using only superior and bioavailable forms of key nutrients. Its unique formulation is based on the enzymatic pathways involved in pregnancy and genetic development. Enzymes in these pathways require specific nutrients as cofactors. Arguably, the most critical of these nutrients are the active and bioavailable forms of folate and B12.†

Your MTHFR gene converts and produces folate (5-MTHF) from whole foods. However, MTHFR gene variations or lifestyle stress can slow down this gene, causing folate deficiency. It is estimated that over 50% of the population has a mutation in their MTHFR gene.†

By supplementing with the natural form of folate as 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), you bypass the MTHFR gene. This supports methylation by allowing folate to flow into the methylation pathway via the MTR enzyme.†

Ironically, the artificial version of folate that is often prescribed to pregnant women, called folic acid, can further slow the MTHFR gene. This can even lead to folate deficiency! Folic acid is never included in any of Seeking Health’s dietary supplements. Instead, we use natural and bioavailable forms, including 5-MTHF (methylated) and methyl-free folinic acid.†

The active or methylated form of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, is essential for proper folate utilization, methylation, DNA expression, and much more. Without sufficient levels of bioavailable folate and B12, the fetus cannot effectively develop and express its genetics.†

Optimal Prenatal contains methylfolate, methylcobalamin, and over 30 bioavailable nutrients to support optimal genetic development.†

Pregnancy is hard, but choosing your prenatal doesn’t need to be. If you’re looking for the best prenatal on the market, Optimal Prenatal is for you.†

How to Enhance Optimal Prenatal

1

Try Prenatal Yoga

It is incredibly important to keep a healthy balance of stress and relaxation during pregnancy. Implementing gentle movement into your routine can help minimize oxidative stress on your genes. It also supports muscle comfort and wellness as your body grows and changes. If gentle movement is not possible, practice deep breathing through your nose to help to lower your stress response.

Why is Optimal Prenatal not suitable for vegans?

Optimal Prenatal is suitable for vegetarians. The vitamin D3 is derived from sheep’s wool, making Optimal Prenatal unsuitable for some vegans. This vitamin D3, however, is derived from wool that is sheared from live healthy sheep, so no animals are harmed in the process.

    First trimester help

    Love this prenatal. I feel good knowing I am getting bioavailable forms of so many important vitamins, especially in my first trimester when it isn’t easy to eat as nutrient dense as usual.
