Active Folate
As folinic acid, a non-methylated folate. Bioavailable folate is essential for baby's DNA and RNA synthesis. It is also required for healthy genetic, spinal, and brain development. Folic acid is never included in any of our prenatals or dietary supplements. This artificial version of folate is not well utilized by the body and may even contribute to folate deficiency!†
Bioavailable B12
'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.†
Vitamin D
Supports healthy calcium utilization, immune and cardiovascular system function, cognition, bone health and a healthy mood by aiding in serotonin synthesis†
Chelated Minerals
The minerals in this formula are bonded with amino acids. This makes them recognizable by your body for utilization and absorption.†
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 .†
