Prenatal Essentials Chewable Dr. Lynch product Q&AUpdated 3 hours ago
| Question | Answer |
| Would this be a good start for my 19 yo daughter who possibly has PCOS and the start of Hashimoto’s. She has been struggling with irregular periods, weight gain, fatigue and low iron. I was thinking Prenatal Essential chewables (she has trouble swallowing capsules and prefers chewable) Iron chewable and Fish oil. She also occasionally uses optimal electrolytes. Thank you! | Hi Angie - I like your thinking. Consider:

| I’m very interested in this product, but I’m curious why it has a prop 65 warning whereas the other prenatal options on your site do not. Is there something different about the processing of this one that exposes it to lead? | Hi Bonnie - Thank you for reaching out. This lot actually does not have the Prop 65 on it. We are removing the notice from the webpage. I appreciate you reaching out. To answer your question:

| Hello, I am 7 months postpartum and my body is having a hard time. My hormones are all over the place, I’m exclusively breastfeeding but it is a chore getting my body to produce enough milk, I’m fatigued, my skin looks awful, and my hair is falling out. I know my body is lacking in many nutrients - and I’m wondering if this would be enough to support my body rebuilding itself postpartum ? | Hi Lisa - I'm glad that you're mindful that your body needs additional support. I would recommend using Optimal Prenatal. This is our most comprehensive and supportive prenatal and postnatal supplement. Consider:
This should help you feel like yourself again :) In health, |
| Best prenatal I have a 10 month old breastfeeding still and just found out I'm pregnant. She was born with lip tie and tongue tie. Trying to find the best option for me. I did deal with fast heart rate in last pregnancy. Low iron. She was full term. Two pregnancies before that was 5 weeks early. Thanks | Hi Shaina - Congratulations ;) Based on your history, consider:

| Hello, I have a highly sensitive body. I was recently diagnosed with MCAS. (I also have POTS and a TBI) I have started eating a animal based/low histamine diet which has really been helping. The only supplement I take is a liquid vitamin D - K combo. I decided to give the chewable prenatal a try and I just ate a quarter of it and it made my mouth slight swell and itchy. Do you know if the chewable prenatal is typical fine wirh people with MCAS? My blood work looks great. Maybe I should just try folate instead of a whole multivitamin? It has been years since I have taken a multivitamin. My body just doesn’t respond well to supplements, etc. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! | Hi Amanda - Everyone is different. Consider:
Pregnancy should be supported with a comprehensive prenatal vitamin - not just folate - even if eating very well. You can just take 1 capsule vs the full serving of 2 capsules a day. In health, |
| Is the chewable prenatal considered sublingual vitamin? I have the familial Mediterranean fever and I’m suffering from diarrhea and I think it’s also a malabsorption issue in my intestines, and was wondering if I can supplement with the chewable vitamins instead of oral pills. I need advice please. Thank you. | Hi Dalia - The chewable prenatal will do well for you. I agree it will be better than using capsules. Consider:

Hello, I have been taking your prenatal essentials chewable for quite some time but recently was told to stay away from COQ10 during pregnancy. I realize that these prenatals contain 25mg of COQ10 so I was wondering if you could provide me with the rationale for that or any more information on the safety of taking a low dose of COQ10 during pregnancy. Thank you! | Hi Danielle - Who told you to avoid CoQ10? It's a necessary compound that's essential to life. CoQ10 supports healthy mitochondrial function - which is needed for all body systems - all of them. If CoQ10 is low, then pregnancy complications may occur. Supporting healthy levels of CoQ10 is essential for healthy fertility and pregnancy.* Here's a paper on CoQ10 deficiency associated with gallbladder issues during pregnancy Here's a paper on CoQ10 deficiency associated with preeclampsia There is a study which showed that there was an association between high CoQ10 levels and oxidative stress during pregnancy. Keep in mind that this is a RESPONSE to a stressor - not the cause. We have thousands and thousands of women safely using our prenatal vitamins daily all over the world. In health, |
