Too many prenatals on the market contain too many ingredients. When growing a healthy baby, more is not necessarily better.†

Prenatal Essentials is designed for women seeking an affordable prenatal multivitamin without compromising quality. It contains the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need to support a healthy pregnancy...no more, no less.†

Is Prenatal Essentials right for you?†

  • You eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
  • Prefer a convenient, 2-capsule serving size
  • Want an affordable, high-quality prenatal vitamin supplement
  • Need just the essential nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy
  • You do not require a high-strength prenatal

Prenatal Essentials contains superior and bioavailable forms of key pregnancy nutrients to support your baby’s development.†

  • Methylation and Nervous System: Methylated forms of folate and B12 are included, along with TMG (trimethylglycine). These important nutrients act as methyl donors in the body. They provide methyl groups for your MTHFR gene and methylation pathway. Proper methylation is required for your baby’s healthy brain and spine development, cognition, and genetic expression.†
  • Eyes and Membranes: Active forms of vitamin A support the normal development of the brain, eyes, mucous membranes, skin, and immune function.†
  • Immune System, Cognition, and Mood: Vitamin D (as D3) and vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7)(vitaMK7®) play critical roles in a healthy immune system, bone growth, cognition, and mood.†
  • Antioxidants and Immune Defenses: Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium support healthy immune and antioxidant defenses for you and your baby.†
  • Digestive Comfort: Active vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) supports occasional morning sickness or upset stomach during pregnancy.†
  • Optimal Genetic Expression: Key nutrients are included that support healthy MTHFR, BC01, and GST/GPX genes, along with many other enzymes and genes that are crucial for cell division, pregnancy, and healthy fertility.†

Prenatal Essentials can be taken before, during, and after pregnancy to support:†

  • Healthy fertility
  • Pregnancy health
  • Normal fetal development
  • Postpartum recovery
  • Lactation support

Trusted by healthcare practitioners worldwide, Seeking Health® prenatals are known as some of the best prenatal vitamins available over the counter.†

None of our Seeking Health® prenatals contain added iron. This makes it easy to customize your intake by supplementing separately with a gentle form of iron. If supplementation is needed, consider Iron Chewable. Each tasty tablet provides 10 mg of iron in a well-tolerated form known not to cause constipation. Take at least 2 hours apart from your prenatals to support optional calcium absorption. All our Seeking Health prenatal vitamins are gluten-free.†

We know it can be challenging to find a high-quality, affordable prenatal. This is why epigenetics expert Dr. Ben Lynch designed Prenatal Essentials. Are you seeking a prenatal with the foundational nutrients in bioavailable forms? Look no further! Get ready to feel energized and comfortable throughout your day to have time for what you need most: a healthy pregnancy and baby.†

  • True Folate (Quatrefolic®)
    Folinic acid, an active form of folate that is unmethylated. This bioavailable folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis. It is also required for healthy genetic, spinal, and brain development.†
  • Bioavailable B12 (MECOBALACTIVE®)
    'Adeno' and 'Methyl' are known as superior forms of vitamin B12 that your body can readily utilize, acting as coenzymes to power important enzymes. Bioactive B12 supports healthy energy production, detoxification and is required to utilize folate for methylation processes.†
  • Chelated Minerals(Albion®)
    The minerals in this formula are bonded with amino acids. This makes them recognizable by your body for utilization and absorption.†
  • Lutein & Zeaxanthin
    Marigold flower extract provides these important yellow carotenoids that support eye health, vision, and natural defenses against blue light.†
  • Vitamin A
    This essential vitamin is critical for healthy fetal development. Most prenatals do not use retinyl palmitate, the active form of vitamin A. Dr. Lynch uses this form of vitamin A as it supports healthy  eye, skin, bone, and immune system health in both the mother and developing baby.†

    Good, clean prenatal

    I’ve been taking these throughout my pregnancy and postpartum and like that they’re simple and clean, only two capsules, and cover just about all the bases so I don’t need to take much else. They have everything you need and nothing extra that you don’t. No complaints.

    Disappointed

    You feel great because of all the vitamin b they provide but there is not enough for baby! I should have looked closer at what and how much was in here. Even looking at the optimal, not just this essential, there isn't everything you should be taking. It says supports spinal health but the main thing you need for that is at least 450mg of chlorine and there is none along with no iron, and you should have at least 27mg according to the papers my OB provided me. I can't digest solid pills like they tried to prescribe so read on some of the best and this seemed amazing especially for the price. There is only 1/10 of the calcium you need. Besides that PULL THE TAB ON PACKAGING! I tore open the packaging not realizing there was a tab and the whole space around me was filled with particles everywhere and scared me so bad. I contacted them through chat and asked the bot to connect to a live person and was immediately answered. They said everything was made from recycled paper and to open by the tab next time. So heads up ladies!

    Hi Chelsey -

    Thank you for your review ;)

    We work hard on minimizing trash on our planet which is why we have these packages. The first time opening can be a surprise but the next time you'll be good!

    Your point about choline and iron:

    • Choline is extremely important for sure. Over 90% of pregnant women are choline deficient. This is why we have Optimal Prenatal which has choline in there along with Betaine. The betaine produces choline.

    Choline should be coming from the diet ideally. 1 egg contains nearly 150 mg of choline. So a 3 egg breakfast is 450 mg right there. 3 oz of salmon is nearly 200 mg of choline. Beef liver is a whopping 350 mg of choline in 3 oz.

    As a supplement, too much choline can make a woman feel depressed, anxious or have gut issues. This is why we combine using betaine in Optimal Prenatal vs loading up on high amounts of choline.

    Getting the nutrients you and baby need must also be well tolerated by momma.

    • Iron: Iron is inflammatory. Some women need more iron than others and some women need absolutely none due to genetic issues. First trimester, iron needs are quite low and they increase in the 2nd and even more in the 3rd. Many women who purchase our prenatals have history of miscarriage, pregnancy complications or infertility. All of these are associated with inflammation to some degree. Thus, we do not include iron in our prenatals.

    Additionally, iron and calcium compete for absorption. So if you're looking for a prenatal that has iron and calcium, you won't be getting much of the iron. Calcium inhibits iron absorption. This is another reason why we don't include it.

    Just because it's on the label doesn't mean your body will use it.

    • Calcium: it's extremely bulky and fluffy which is why we don't have it in Prenatal Essentials. Many women want to limit how many capsules they swallow each day. Optimal Prenatal has a lot of calcium and a lot of magnesium which is why it's 8 capsules per serving.

    • Neural tubes and spinal health: this is a methylation issue - not a single ingredient issue. It's not a folate issue, it's not a choline issue and it's not a B12 issue. It's purely how well a woman's methylation cycle is working. The combination of our nutrients in all our prenatals support healthy methylation - which is why we have many thousands of women successfully using our prenatals around the world.

    If you're feeling good, and eating well, and your iron levels are where they need to be, Prenatal Essentials is an excellent choice.

    If you have a history of infertility, pregnancy complications or miscarriage, then Optimal Prenatal is highly recommended to support a healthy pregnancy.

    Should you need iron, we have Iron Chewable or Optimal Iron available - and they should be taken in the evening after dinner - away from your calcium containing prenatal vitamins.

    In health,
    Dr. Lynch
