Basic Prenatal
Foundational daily nutrition for mom and baby—from pre-conception through nursing.
Thorne Basic Prenatal is a thoughtfully formulated multivitamin designed to support women before, during, and after pregnancy. It delivers highly absorbable, tissue-ready nutrients to help meet the increased nutritional demands of conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding—supporting both maternal health and baby’s development.
Formulated without unnecessary additives or coatings, this gentle, non-constipating prenatal is designed for daily use, even for those with sensitive stomachs. Because meeting nutrient needs through diet alone can be challenging during this time, Basic Prenatal provides comprehensive support to help fill nutritional gaps and promote a healthy pregnancy journey.
Benefits of Thorne’s Basic Prenatal at each stage:
Pre-Conception: Daily multi-vitamin/mineral support for a woman of childbearing age.
Provides beneficial nutrients that are important from the moment of conception.
First Trimester:
- Folate facilitates healthy brain and spinal cord development.*
- Basic Prenatal includes the bioactive form of folate – 5-MTHF.
- Vitamins C, B6, and K have been shown to benefit “morning sickness.”*
- Choline supports development of baby’s brain and nervous system.*
Second Trimester: Contains the well-absorbed and well-researched iron bisglycinate to meet a pregnant woman’s increased need for iron.
Third Trimester: Provides the extra nutrients needed for continued healthy fetal development and to prepare mom and baby for birth.*
After Pregnancy through Nursing: Nutritional support for increased demand for calcium and vitamin D in the diet.
Take 3 capsules daily with food or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
ALLERGY WARNING: This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.
PREGNANCY: If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.
INTERACTIONS: As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate’s anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
