Product Overview
Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal is a safe and reliable prenatal supplement for pregnant women.
Do you feel that choosing a prenatal vitamin is a monumental decision that determines the growth of your fetus? Through supplementation at this stage, you are nourishing yourself and building your baby. A standard one-a-day prenatal vitamin that's available in your local pharmacy may not be the right choice if you care about choosing science-based supplements.
You need a supplement that's gentle on your stomach so as not to aggravate your nausea and morning sickness. Folate is a non-negotiable ingredient that's crucial for preventing neural tube defects in the baby. If you have an MTHFR gene variant, you need a methylated folate supplement.
Nutrition needs vary from one person to another. Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal is designed in such a way that you can customize your dosage after consulting with a doctor. This ensures that you get the optimal levels of key vitamins without artificial colors, flavors, fillers, allergens, or additives.
Research Evidence
- Research shows that prenatal supplements are important for a healthy pregnancy. Supplements containing multivitamins and folic acid reduce the risk of neural tube defects and other birth defects.
- Blood levels of many vitamins decrease during pregnancy. Supplementing with vitamins A, C, D, K, B1, B3, B5, B6, folate, biotin, and B12 is crucial. Suboptimal intake of vitamins from preconception to pregnancy stage may increase pregnancy health complications and impact the health of the baby.
- Nutrients like methylfolate, choline, and B12 are individually supported by clinical evidence for key neural, cognitive, and developmental outcomes in pregnancy.
Product Benefits
Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal is doctor-formulated to offer the following benefits:
- High-strength prenatal formula: Dr. Ben Lynch has carefully selected the best form of vitamins and minerals that are readily available to support both the mother and the fetus. This formulation contains retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), which is not generally present in standard supplements. Further, it has choline to support brain development of the fetus. Moreover, vitamin C can easily pass through the GI tract as the formula contains soy-free blend.
- Offers digestive comfort: The addition of milk thistle, ginger root, and B6 in this supplement supports digestive comfort. It can be particularly useful for pregnant women who deal with nausea and morning sickness.
- Contains bioavailable folate and B12: The formulation contains two natural folates: L-methylfolate and folinic acid. Similarly, B12 is available as adenosylcobalamine and methylcobalamine, which are superior forms of B12 that act as coenzymes.
- Gentle and well-tolerated: Optimal Prenatal Seeking Health doesn't contain iron, which is notorious for causing constipation and nausea. By intentionally excluding this, you get a prenatal support formula that's gentle and well-tolerated. Iron needs vary and you can take a separate iron supplement based on your needs. The chelated minerals are bound to amino acids and are better absorbed by the body.
- Antioxidant support: In addition to vitamins and minerals, this supplement also contains potent antioxidants like CoQ10, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin to protect against cellular stress.

How it works ?
Dr. Ben Lynch created the Optimal Prenatal formula after several years of research. Trusted by 40k+ women in 100+ countries, it provides important nutrients like folinic acid, methylfolate, choline, methylcobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin. This prenatal supplement helps support a healthy pregnancy.
Optimal Prenatal, with 30+ important nutrients, is suitable for women who need intense support for a healthy pregnancy. It's useful for those experiencing nutritional deficiencies, complications in pregnancies, or difficulties in conceiving.
During pregnancy, doctors generally recommend folate and B12, as these reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Optimal Prenatal provides these essential vitamins in methylated forms. They are easily absorbed and utilized by the body without the need for any conversion. These support methylation and healthy fetal development.
Optimal Prenatal also has vitamin D, known to support the baby's brain development. It contains choline, which is not generally found in over the counter pregnancy supplements.
