We’re digging into how to select the right prenatal as you prepare for your baby.
As we prepare for pregnancy success, a prenatal is an essential part of our fertility toolkit.
However, not all prenatal supplements are created equal in terms of quality, nutrients, and delivery systems.
There can be a lot of confusion, and buying a prenatal on Amazon is never a good idea.
Should your prenatal have folic acid or methylfolate?
Is iron really a good idea in a prenatal or can it lead to complications?
What about Vitamin A (we discuss the studies) and should your prenatal contain iodine?
So how do we know how to select the right prenatal?
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why it is so important to ensure your prenatal has methylated folate rather than folic acid. (Plus, what you need to know if you have the MTHFR gene variant. Hint 60-80% of the population has it.)
2) How much choline we need when we are TTC
3) The importance of vitamin A during pregnancy (i.e. we discuss testing and why a vegan/vegetarian diet may require supplementation)
4) Does your prenatal contain iodine? Many of us that consume a Western diet and are deficient in iodine (i.e. required for thyroid production, which is essential for pregnancy success)
5) Why we don’t want iron in our prenatal (i.e. supplementing iron in an iron-sufficient or iron-overloaded person can lead to pre-term delivery, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, inflammation, and oxidative stress)
