Raving about this prenatal

I just have to write a review after consistently using Seeking Health prenatals for about 2 years now. I am so thankful that Dr. Lynch cares so much about these products. This is my first pregnancy, and overall I feel incredible. I fully believe these prenatals have greatly contributed. Time and time again I see them recommended by various naturopaths, chiropractors, functional medicine doctors, etc. That’s a great feeling! I’m a forever customer! ~Braden

Do you get side effects from methylated nutrients?

Some people experience nervousness, headaches, or rapid heartbeat when they take nutrients like methylcobalamin and methylfolate.

Yet, these active forms of vitamin B12 and folate are required for a healthy and successful pregnancy. For women who are considered higher-risk, bioavailable and well-tolerated sources of B12 and folate are absolutely critical.

Optimal Prenatal MF is the first non-methylated prenatal vitamin of its kind. This unique formula provides high-strength nutrition minus the methyl donors.

If you relate to one or more of the following, then Optimal Prenatal MF may be exactly what you’re looking for:

  • I get side effects like nervousness, headaches, or rapid heartbeat when I take methylated nutrients.
  • I have a history of pregnancy complications or preterm births. I want to support a healthy pregnancy.
  • Prior pregnancies have been difficult.
  • I have multiple nutrient deficiencies.
  • I experience significant morning sickness.
  • Currently, I’m trying to get pregnant and I am experiencing difficulties. I want to support healthy fertility.
  • I’m looking for the most comprehensive prenatal formula.
  • I’m tired and breastfeeding. I feel I need more nutritional support for both me and baby.
  • I tend towards feeling blue and tired. Experiencing a positive mood and healthy levels of energy would be lovely.
  • While 6 capsules per serving is a lot, it’s ok for me as I know I’m truly nourishing my developing baby, my placenta and myself. I also know I can take 2 capsules with breakfast, 2 with lunch and the rest with a mid-afternoon snack when I need a pick-me-up.

If a number of those resonated with you, then Optimal Prenatal MF is something that you should seriously consider.

If none of the statements above relate to your current life situation, then Optimal Prenatal MF is most likely not something you need right now.

Most high-strength prenatals on the market contain methylated nutrients. If you’re sensitive to methyl groups, you may have thought you have no options...until now.

Dr. Ben Lynch designed Optimal Prenatal MF as a solution for women needing potent prenatal care, but are sensitive to methyl donors.

(Wondering if you’re sensitive to methylated nutrients? This article will help you determine if you need methyl-free supplements.)

Optimal Prenatal MF includes non-methylated forms of folate and B12. These methyl-free forms take a few additional enzyme steps before they become methyl donors. This slower delivery may provide relief and comfort for women sensitive to methylated nutrients.

Optimal Prenatal MF contains the key nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy in bioavailable forms, including non-methylated B12 and folate.

  • Folate, as Folinic acid (Calcium folinate)
  • B12, as Adenosylcobalamin and Hydroxocobalamin
  • Vitamin D3, as Cholecalciferol
  • Calcium, as DiCalcium malate
  • Ginger to support digestive comfort
  • 30+ key nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy

This nutrient-dense prenatal multivitamin is free of:

  • Methylated B vitamins
  • Methylcobalamin
  • Methylfolate
  • S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)
  • Choline
  • Inositol
  • Trimethylglycine (TMG or Betaine)

Like methylfolate and methylcobalamin, folinic acid (folate) and adenosylcobalamin (B12) provide potent, bioavailable prenatal nutrition. These non-methylated forms may be a better option for those who are sensitive to methyl donors.

Optimal Prenatal MF provides crucial support in the following areas of fetal development:

  • Healthy spinal and brain development
  • Normal growth and development
  • Immune system support
  • Healthy antioxidant support
  • Digestive comfort for the mother

Folic acid is never included in any Seeking Health prenatals or dietary supplements. This artificial version of folate is not well utilized by the body. In fact, it can even contribute to folate deficiency!

This prenatal vitamin does not include iron. Some women do not process iron well or do not need iron supplementation. This makes it easy to customize your dosage by supplementing separately with a gentle form of iron. All our Seeking Health prenatal vitamins are gluten-free.

Dr. Lynch recommends starting prenatals for several months before trying to conceive. Optimal Prenatal MF can be taken before, during, and after pregnancy to support:

  • Healthy fertility
  • Pregnancy health
  • Normal fetal development
  • Postpartum recovery
  • Breastfeeding

Optimal Prenatal MF features well-absorbed, chelated minerals and bioavailable vitamins to nourish both of you through this nine-month journey.

Pregnancy is hard enough. You shouldn’t struggle with side effects related to your prenatal. Now, you can provide your body and baby with bioavailable nutrition...without the headache of methyl donors!

Key Ingredients

Inside the Uncompromising Quality of Our Ingredients

×
  • Active Folate
    As folinic acid, a non-methylated folate. Bioavailable folate is essential for baby's DNA and RNA synthesis. It is also required for healthy genetic, spinal, and brain development. Folic acid is never included in any of our prenatals or dietary supplements. This artificial version of folate is not well utilized by the body and may even contribute to folate deficiency!
  • Bioavailable B12
    'Adeno' and 'Methyl' are known as superior forms of vitamin B12 that your body can readily utilize, acting as coenzymes to power important enzymes. Bioactive B12 supports healthy energy production, detoxification and is required to utilize folate for methylation processes.
  • Vitamin D
    Supports healthy calcium utilization, immune and cardiovascular system function, cognition, bone health and a healthy mood by aiding in serotonin synthesis
  • Chelated Minerals
    The minerals in this formula are bonded with amino acids. This makes them recognizable by your body for utilization and absorption.
  • Vitamin A
    This essential vitamin is critical for healthy fetal development. Most prenatals do not use retinyl palmitate, the active form of vitamin A. Dr. Lynch uses this form of vitamin A as it supports healthy  eye, skin, bone, and immune system health in both the mother and developing baby .

    So happy to find this prenatal

    I didn’t know why I always felt terrible taking some other high quality brands of prenatal that were so highly rated. Another brand actually referred me here to suggest I could be sensitive to methylated vitamins. Thank goodness I found these! I can finally take a high quality vitamin! And they really answer your questions. Which is so appreciated.
