Basic Prenatal: A Gentle and Comprehensive Formula for Mom and Baby

Thorne’s Basic Prenatal is a thoughtfully formulated multivitamin designed to provide foundational nutritional support for women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or are lactating. This comprehensive formula delivers essential vitamins and minerals in their most bioavailable and best-tolerated forms. It ensures both mother and baby get the crucial nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy and development. Basic Prenatal is a trusted choice, made without unnecessary additives and with nutrients in their ready-to-use states.*

How It Works: Bioavailable Nutrients for a Healthy Pregnancy*

A healthy pregnancy requires an increased demand for specific nutrients. This formula provides them in forms the body can absorb and utilize most effectively.

Support for Fetal Development
Folate is critical for healthy neurological development. Basic Prenatal provides folate in its most active, tissue-ready form, L-5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate). This is especially important for women with a common MTHFR gene variant who have difficulty utilizing standard folic acid. In addition, it contains a well-absorbed form of iron bisglycinate that is gentle on the stomach and less constipating than other iron forms, which is vital for preventing anemia and supporting the baby’s growth.*

Nourishment for the Mother
This formula provides a complete profile of essential nutrients to support the mother’s well-being. It includes B vitamins in their active forms to support energy and mood, Vitamin C for immune health, and Vitamin D3 and K for bone health. By providing these key vitamins and minerals, Basic Prenatal helps to ensure the mother’s nutritional needs are met, supporting her health throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.*

An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
