B Vitamins & Folic Acid for
Prenatal Support

B vitamins are needed for the healthy function of your nervous system and for the proper development of your baby's nervous system. Folic acid is now widely promoted for healthy pregnancy and ideally should be taken for a full year prior to becoming pregnant. Coenzyme folic acid is needed to synthesize DNA and RNA which is incredibly important for proper fetal nervous system development. Folic acid should always be taken with vitamin B12, so as not to mask a deficiency of B12 -- which is also vital for the proper function and development of nerves. Vitamin B6 is needed to help any neurotransmitter work properly, in both mother and child. B vitamins are your basics for stress management. B vitamins are important cofactors for prenatal nutrition -- don't leave home without them!*

The quality of B vitamins makes a dramatic difference in how well they work in your body. The superior forms of B vitamins are called coenzymes -- meaning they are pre-energized and already in the exact form your body needs. In our Daily Prenatal Multi Vitamin™ you get the coenzyme form of folic acid known as folinic acid (5-formyl tetrahydrofolate) in its pure form (calcium folinate). This form is naturally found in food and is far different than difficult-to-metabolize synthetic folic acid that is found in food fortification and the majority of cheap prenatal vitamins on the market today. Quality makes a huge difference -- give yourself and your baby the very best!*
