-Essential nutrients for healthy fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.†-Delicious, sugar-free prenatal chewable vitamins -Concise prenatal formula supports healthy spine and brain development -Bioavailable folate and B12 support optimal genetic developmentPrenatal Essentials Chewable was formulated based on the enzymatic pathways involved in pregnancy and genetic development. Enzymes in these pathways require specific nutrients as cofactors. Arguably the most important of these nutrients are folate and B12 in their most superior, bioavailable forms. Without them, the fetus cannot effectively develop or express its genetics.†Your MTHFR gene converts and produces methylfolate (5-MTHF) from whole foods. However, MTHFR gene variations and lifestyle stress can slow down this gene, causing folate deficiency. It is estimated that over 50% of the population has a mutation in their MTHFR gene.†Ironically, the artificial version of folate that is often prescribed to pregnant women, called folic acid, can slow the MTHFR gene even more. Folic acid is never included in any of Seeking Health’s dietary supplements. Instead, we use natural and bioavailable forms, including 5-MTHF (methylated) and methyl-free folinic acid (calcium folinate).†By supplementing with the natural form of folate as 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), you bypass the MTHFR enzyme. Pre-formed 5-MTHF provides a methyl group attached to folate that can be used in the methylation cycle.†The active or methylated form of vitamin B12 is called methylcobalamin. It is essential for proper folate utilization, methylation, DNA expression, and much more.†Prenatal Essentials Chewable contains bioavailable methylfolate and methylcobalamin to support optimal genetic development. It has many of the essential nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy. No more, no less. If you’re seeking a formula that covers your prenatal bases without the excess, then Prenatal Essentials Chewable was designed for you.† Suggested Use:With breakfast, chew 2 tablets daily or use as directed by your healthcare professional.
