Benefits of a Prenatal Vitamin
Prenatal vitamins are recommended before conceiving to minimize the depletion of your vitamin and mineral supply to help with the following:
Prepare your body for the stress of childbirth
Enhance baby growth and development in the womb
Support fetal development, including heart, brain, lungs, and bones
Help prevent complications and birth defects during pregnancy
Provide vital nutrients and prenatal vitamin supplements needed while pregnant including folate, calcium, iron, DHA/EPA, and choline.

Iron helps with anemia.
Calcium helps reduce the risk of preeclampsia.
Folate and folic acid are both forms of vitamin B9. Compared to folic acid, folate is more easily absorbed by the body. This is especially important during pregnancy as a percentage of women cannot absorb folic acid.
These omega-3 fatty acids are essential for fetal brain, nerve, and eye development. They are a key part of pregnancy nutrition, especially since most Americans are severely deficient in omega-3s.
Scientific studies suggest when a pregnant mother ingests adequate amounts of choline, it can improve the mental health of her baby as they grow into adulthood.

Forté Prenatal+
This supplement is a high-quality prenatal supplement designed to provide the specific nutritional needs of mother and baby.
Prenatals before you're pregnant?
While you are trying to conceive, you need to build up your nutritional stores to prepare for a potential pregnancy.
You can't just eat for two
Your calorie needs slowly rise during pregnancy but you only need 400 extra calories per day during your third trimester.
Amino acid with your prenatal
When amino acids are taken in conjunction with prenatal vitamins your body can better absorb calcium.
Frequently Asked Questions
No they are not. Because we have high quality omega-3s as a part of the daily dose, the prenatals do have fish in the ingredients.
Our prenatals are very nutrient heavy to provide you with everything you need for your pregnancy. As such, the amount of nutrition correlates to a larger number of pills. We are constantly working on easier options and will soon be condensing all ingredients into four tablets instead of five.
We choose to use methylfolate for a few reasons. First, methylfolate is better absorbed by your body. Second, folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. Up to 40% of the world’s population has a folate mutation that cannot break down folic acid—and of that 40%, most do not they have this mutation. However, methylfolate is not affected by this mutation. Since methylfolate is so essential during pregnancy, we chose to use folate so that you can be sure you and your baby can absorb what you need.
Of course. You can also get set up on our autoship program where we send you a box every month until you cancel. You will also receive an extra 15% off your order with this method. And no cancellation fees 🙂
We use anchovy in our omega-3 softgel.
YES. Even if you are a healthy eater, everyone has nutrient gaps in their diet. These gaps typically get bigger while you are pregnant due to your increased need for nutrition, food aversions, and lack of appetite. Taking a prenatal will ensure you are getting the exact nutrients you need while pregnant.
Prenatal supplements can cause some nausea due to the number of nutrients and the amount of iron. But you still need to take them. To help prevent nausea, take half of your pills in the morning and half at night. Taking your prenatal with food will also help.
