Prenatal Supplements 

The Best Organic Prenatal Brands

Prenatal vitamins are a ‘once-in-a-lifetime health choice that provides well-being for you and your future children.

By selecting safe supplements made with pure ingredients, you are providing all the nutrients that your body needs and the opportunity to get the best support during this evolving phase, for a healthy pregnancy. 

​Avoid Conventional prenatal 

❌ An overdose of vitamins A, D, E, or K or certain minerals contained in prenatal multivitamins may cause serious overdose symptoms or harm to the unborn baby.

Many common brand vitamins use sugar, coatings, flavoring, and additives to mask the natural smell and taste of the ingredients, which isn’t always in the best interest of your health. 

Conventional prenatal use of folic acid instead of folate or Methyl folate  

Avoid Folic Acid

❌ Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate and 40% of American women have the MTHFR gene mutation which inhibits their body’s ability to metabolize and absorb it. 

There are studies that suggest that synthetic folic acid from multivitamins is cancer-promoting, whereas folate from food is protective.

Choose a Prenatal that uses the bioactive form of folate, 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) at 100% of the Daily Value recommended for pregnancy.

  • Folate or vitamin B9 is the broader term that includes natural forms found in dark leafy greens

  • Folic acid requires conversion to its active form before it can be used by the body.

  • Methyl folate is found in some prenatal. It is already in its active form.

According to the American Pregnancy Association: The recommended daily amount of folate for adults is 400 micrograms (mcg). Women who are planning a pregnancy or could become pregnant are advised to consume

400 to 1,000 mcg of folic acid a day.

Avoid Prenatal with Heavy Metals 

❌ 220 Prenatal Brands Tested for Heavy Metals: The Spotlight on America team partnered with Ellipse Analytics, which tested more than 220 brands. A separate, independent lab, Eurofins, confirmed what Ellipse found.

CDC, FDA, and World Health Organization all agree: that there is no known safe level of lead.

According to a study cited by the National Institutes of Health, lead is “well known to cross the placenta and to accumulate in fetal tissues,” and prenatal exposure poses a “health threat, particularly to the developing brain.”

Law firm: “According to these lab results and reporting from Spotlight on America, 25 of the tested prenatal vitamins contain lead levels that exceed limits for daily lead exposure set by California’s Prop 65 law, which requires warnings on products that contain chemicals that can cause cancer and reproductive harm.”

Spotlight on America: “Based on our results, one serving of Nature’s Truth – Prenatal Vitamin and Mineral Formula contained lead nearly double Prop 65’s limit.

Among the others with the highest amounts of lead in our tests:

The FDA doesn’t review prenatal vitamins for safety and effectiveness before they go to market.

The FDA relies on manufacturers to test their own products.

“I think what’s happening is some vitamin companies will just buy the raw materials from other countries like China or India, who knows what’s in those materials, but then it’s manufactured in the US so it’s implied to be safe,” said Dr. Canale.

A full listing of the prenatal vitamins tested can be found here.”

I was surprised AND shocked when I discovered the California Proposition 65 Warning on these prenatal packaging. 

What is the California Proposition 65 Warning?
