The​ ​Best​ ​Prenatal​ ​Vitamins​ ​are​ ​Natural​ ​Prenatal​ ​Vitamins

We offer the best prenatal vitamins for the care of expectant mothers. The main tenets of holistic medicine—the smallest dose possible for the most specific need possible—are very much in line with a pregnant mother’s need to keep her body as balanced and naturally functioning as possible.
The best natural prenatal vitamins contain all of the nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy, without any of the negative ingredients that can flare up sensitivities or that add unnecessary and potentially harmful substances to the body. When selecting a prenatal vitamin, make sure that it includes the following key nutrients:

​

Folate​, also referred to as Folic Acid or B9, for proper development of the baby’s brain and spinal cord and for the prevention of neural tube defects. We recommend choosing a prenatal vitamin that lists folate instead of folic acid, as folic acid, though not necessarily harmful, is a synthetic form of folate.

 

Iron​, which helps deliver oxygen to the baby, prevents premature pregnancy, and also helps prevent the development of maternal anemia (a major cause of maternal and perinatal mortality as well as low birth weight).

 

Zinc​, for your baby’s cell growth and production of their DNA.

 

Calcium​, to help build your baby’s bones and prevent bone loss in the mother. A calcium deficiency is particularly harmful for expecting mothers as it can lead to improper functioning of the muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems.

 

Vitamin​ ​D​, which helps strengthen your baby’s teeth and bones and keeps the mother’s blood pressure, brain function, mood, and immunity going strong.
 

Prenatal vitamins are an important part of a healthy pregnancy, and they help set up your little one for a healthy childhood. The sooner you start, the sooner you can make sure you and your baby are getting all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients that you need to be healthy and strong.

Expecting​ ​Mothers:​ ​Balance​ ​Your​ ​Health​ ​With​ ​At​ ​Home​ ​Prenatal​ ​Screening

When you’re pregnant, it can be difficult to know exactly how to optimize your health for the benefit of yourself and your growing baby. The world of prenatal advice is full of conflicting information on what you should or shouldn’t eat, drink, or do. And while you’re likely receiving regular check-ups from your physician, knowing how to navigate the day-to-day dos and don’ts of pregnancy often requires a little more insight into exactly what is going on with your body.
The Prenatal Scan is an at home prenatal screening tool that can help mothers make better informed decisions about their diet, environment, and the best prenatal vitamins during their pregnancies. Along with regular, routine prenatal care, the Prenatal Scan offers a balanced approach to achieving the best health possible for both mom and baby.
The Prenatal Scan consists of two separate scans that together give deep insights into the health of the expecting mother’s body.

 

The​ ​Sensitivity​ ​Scan​ ​tells you whether any particular substances are having a negative impact on your body and overall wellbeing. Using hair and saliva samples, we are able to screen for sensitivities for close to 600 different food and environmental substances, making it easy for pregnant mothers to determine what’s causing them harm and what they should be avoiding in their everyday life.

 

The​ ​Nutritional​ ​Imbalance​ ​Scan​ looks for deficiencies in key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and fatty acids, and then provides that information along with common food sources for obtaining the deficient nutrient. Using this information, we are also able to tell you exactly what the best prenatal vitamins are for your individual nutritional deficiencies.
 

The process for both scans is simple: We’ll send a convenient collection kit to your house which you’ll then return with a sample of your hair and saliva. The prenatal screening will take place in our facilities using BioResonance, our trusted screening technique, with results being returned to you within 12 business days. If you have any questions about the results or would like to discuss the best prenatal vitamins based on the report, you can schedule a follow-up call with one of our experts.

The​ ​Importance​ ​of​ ​Prenatal​ ​Screening​ ​for​ ​Nutrient​ ​Deficiencies

Making sure your body has the right nutrients and avoiding food and environmental sensitivities is critical for providing for the health of your fetus. Consider some of these key facts:
> The CDC estimates that globally, about 2 billion people suffer from iron deficiencies. Iron deficiencies during pregnancy have led to more than 18 million babies being born with mental impairments.
> Zinc is considered an integral part of a healthy pregnancy. Zinc deficiencies in the prenatal stage can result in a child with a weakened immune system, stunted growth and development of the nervous system, and a weakened resistance to infection.
> Folate, one of the most important ingredients in prenatal vitamins, is necessary for early fetal growth and the development of the brain, spinal cord, and skull. In particular, research has shown that ensuring sufficient levels of folate during the prenatal stage can reduce neural tube defects by up to 50%.
The CDC estimates that more than half of all children aged 6 months to 5 years suffer from one or more micronutrient deficiencies. Ensure your child’s health in the earliest stages by testing for deficiencies when your baby is still in-utero, and set up your child for a healthy future.
