Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal - 240 caps

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.

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.

To get the best results and support pregnancy from an early stage, start taking Optimal Prenatal at least 3 months before trying to conceive. It supports healthy egg quality and supports fetal development. It can also be used after delivery as this supplement supports nursing mothers too.

The recommended daily dosage is 8 capsules, which you can take three times a day. However, individual needs may change. Some women may need only 4 capsules, while others may need the full dose. To find the right dosage for you, consult with your doctor.

It's best to consume Seeking Health Optimal Prenatal along with food. Many women take 2-4 capsules per day with each meal. You can start with a low dose if you feel energetic and consume a nutrient-rich diet. Full dosage may be useful if you have fatigue, stress, or are breastfeeding.

Taking this supplement until one month after your baby stops nursing can help you replenish your body's nutrient reserves and avoid potential deficiencies. Consult with your doctor first before taking this supplement.

When taking high doses of nutrients such as B12 and folate, monitor blood levels and use under the supervision of a qualified physician.
