It's because iron can block the absorption of a lot of other vitamins. I take my prenatal in the morning and then take iron in the evening or reverse so it doesn't interfere with anything. Loved all the info in this. It's so hard to find people who take natural high quality supplements and know about mthfr! 🥰
I click on so many UA-cam videos about prenatal nutrition. This one really stands out as informative. I enjoyed hearing your reasonings for each supplement
This is so insightful! With my first 2 pregnancies I just took prenatal and DHA. I just had a miscarriage around Christmas, and am looking to revamp my supplements before TTC again! Thank you for this!
I've also heard it isn't great to take an iron supplement, it's way better to get it from beef liver or grassfed beef. Also magnesium should be from bicarbonate or glycinate source. Magnesium citrate depletes other minerals
Makes sense that it doesn’t have Iron. Recently read in my what to expect book that taking more than 250mg of calcium at the same time as iron, can inhibit the absorption of Iron.
Loved this! So informative. I’m also one of those people who likes to know all of the things. During my first pregnancy my OB (while a very nice person) did not share my interest in finding the best prenatal for me and felt any would do for the most part. I guess that should have been my first clue I wasn’t using the right provider for me. Next time around I want to know all of the things!
Yes! A new one! I adore you supplement videos! It's hard not to preach to other pregnant mamas I know, info about supplement quality (I also in the nutritional sector) without making them feel like they've messed up. So I tend to stay quiet BUT you change how I take prenatal supplements! Thanks!
*not a recommendation* but “one fish, two fish” is extracted from anchovies which is not the healthiest fish friend ! I would stick to to your natural MILLED (flax seed, chia seed, hemp seed & walnuts) not only are the high in omega 3 & 6 but the have other benefits as well
I was reading about the prenatal online and the warning label said that consuming this could expose you to chemicals including lead which could cause birth defects...what are your thoughts on that since I'm guessing you read that and what were your concerns or not? Trying to find as much as an organic base prenatal but I'm not wanting to add any metals into my system. Thanks.
Thanks for the useful information! Do you have a recommendation for the red raspberry tea and how often to drink? I'm currently in my second trimester and expecting my baby boy in December :)
Thanks for sharing that liquid iron supplement as I struggle with iron in my prenatal. I get really constipated with iron. I’m currently going without iron thankfully I’m not low but I’m hoping the iron liquid supplement will work for me because I know how important it is in pregnancy.
Most Americans already get enough or close to enough DHA and are deficient in EPA. Also, magnesium citrate is not a great form of magnesium. glycinate or l-threonate are both great options.
I know Vitamin A has 1,500 mcg in this container but i was under the impression that retinyl palmitate is synthetic. I just wonder how much of each vitamin A is in this container. It does not show like other companies where they separate the amount of each Vitamin A. This is my only concern because everything else looks good.
I want to throw out there Smarty pants prenatal gummies which is slightly cheaper with real folate, dha, and very similar ingredients to this prenatal. I also supplement with 2000 iu additional Vit D3, 25 mg additional b6, AND an iron supplement. Oh and pink stork prenatal probiotic.
I take these gummy vitamins too because I can’t do iron with all my constipation issues. I’m going to try the liquid iron she recommends and hope that works for me.
How much of the calm magnesium do you take? I took the amount recommended on the package (my OB recommended it for headaches) and it seriously upset my stomach!
I might look into this prenatal I was looking for a good prenatal to take while breastfeeding and not taking my period once you stop bleeding postpartum and if you're not having your period you need far less iron
Can you please do a review of Else toddler formula? Would love to hear your thoughts on it since there really is not much clean options for formula. Thanks !
What about beef liver instead of a prenatal. Because a lot of those vitamins are hard for a lot of people to absorb. So beef liver capsules is way more bioavailable. Also I've heart dha or omega supplements aren't good because they are pufas which cause hormonal issues & cell damage.
Thank you for posting! I think supplements have helped my health so much obviously nutrition is so important but it's really good to fill in those gaps
HI Becca, do you know if it's safe to take lecithin during the pregnancy? Its told that it's so beneficial for the foetus brains. But someone told me that taking lecithin could mature babys lungs prematurely and could be dangerous. Is that true? Thank you
Hi becca- I was taking multi greens + super b + c. My prenatal was making me so sick so I stopped taking it- however I just ordered this prenatal (now wondering if I can take the other vitamins along with this) ?
Hi could you or anyone please help, i just found out i am pregnant 6 and a half weeks, i've been taking methylfolate for the past 2 weeks about 1mg, i am very folate deficient and the doctors prescribed me with 5mg of folic acid, but i took the methyl folate instead. Is it safe to increase how much methylfolate I'm taking? Is it too late to start taking it?
I’ve heard and seen most prenatals dont have both iron and calcium because calcium makes it harder to absorb and utilize iron? Also, when vitamins say folate - does it have to have the “ mentholated “ after it or is it still whole form as long as it’s not folic acid? Thank you!!
I'm planning to purchase a bunch of these vitamins. I am 17.5 weeks along and I'm afraid I have missed the critical development window and I should have been taking these before now =/ I've been taking a generic prenatal and vitamin D
Seeking Health optimal prenatal has very high level of Vitamin A so be very careful with that. In UK it is not recomended to take it during pregnancy at all. Also if u read small print on these vitamins and also their website , it states "Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm."
As she stated, vitamin A is very important during pregnancy - the real form at least. The only studies that I know of that have found bad things regarding vitamin A specifically refer to the “fake” form of the vitamin. I learned a lot of this from a book called Real Food for Pregnancy. If you’re pregnant, I highly suggest this book. It’s extremely informative!
When taking this many supplements do you ever worry about a nutrient like 6-10 same on every bottle. Like every bottle has biotin or vit e and you take three different bottles with those each on them. Is it ok? Hopefully that made sense lol. Idk how to word it.
Dr lynch means well, but his quality of raw material is shit. Orthomolecular products are made in their own FDA manufacturing labs most supplements are not made by the brand. Orthomolecular only uses the highest quality raw materials in their supplements. You should do some research. I’ve been researching nutrition and differences in brands and manufacturing for 20 years. I own my own wellness practice. I’ve tried hundreds of brands. I’ve done side by side lab testing and Orthomolecular products have always had better effectiveness.

Absolutely. Citrate is better for digestion.

With my particular mthfr status I've had the best success talking methyl folate 5x throughout the day and evening during my singleton pregnancies.❤️

Thank you for sharing! I had a miscarriage late last year so this was so insightful. Can’t wait to do my own research!

Could you answer this question pls?
Which one did you go with?
The vitamin industry is not regulated well. How do you make sure the vitamins/supplements you purchase actually have what it says it has?
Klaire Labs Therbiotic infant is amazing if you have a c section or you had antibiotics during labor
I love your supplements content!!
I love all your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video explaining what supplements you take postpartum from young living?!
Yes!! So excited for this
Hi becca your amazing I really enjoy all of your videos ILY 💖👌🌟✨
Thanks for the useful information! Do you have a recommendation for the red raspberry tea and how often to drink? I'm currently in my second trimester and expecting my baby boy in December :)
Oxygen binds to hemoglobin, not iron.
No mention of iodine or choline?

I'm taking these while breastfeeding because they are iron free. If your pregnant you might need something with iron
I take these gummy vitamins too because I can’t do iron with all my constipation issues. I’m going to try the liquid iron she recommends and hope that works for me.
Garden of Life My Kind is great too
Cod liver oil!
How much of the calm magnesium do you take? I took the amount recommended on the package (my OB recommended it for headaches) and it seriously upset my stomach!
With extra magnesium try starting small and increasing dosage gradually to avoid this.
Becca are you using this same prenatal for baby number 3? would you still recommend it?
Calm magnesium always upsets my stomach and I've seen magnesium glycinate recommended over magnesium citrsfs
Citrate*
I might look into this prenatal I was looking for a good prenatal to take while breastfeeding and not taking my period once you stop bleeding postpartum and if you're not having your period you need far less iron
Can you please do a review of Else toddler formula? Would love to hear your thoughts on it since there really is not much clean options for formula. Thanks !
Did you take this prenatal in the 1st trimester? Asking due to the red raspberry leaf aspect.
I know I avoided red raspberry until the 2nd trimester because I've miscarried before
@humboldthoney707 that was my worry as well, I'm coming off my first pregnancy which ended in miscarriage and TTC again.
What about beef liver instead of a prenatal. Because a lot of those vitamins are hard for a lot of people to absorb. So beef liver capsules is way more bioavailable. Also I've heart dha or omega supplements aren't good because they are pufas which cause hormonal issues & cell damage.
I love it when you do these science videos!
Do you think taking extra vitamins during pregnancy helped you to avoid stretchmarks?
Vitamin e does
Lol I thought the iron supplement was barbecue sauce. 🤣
Thank you for posting! I think supplements have helped my health so much obviously nutrition is so important but it's really good to fill in those gaps
Do you guys ever get insomnia from your prenatal?
The iron supplement has hibiscus. Isn’t that unsafe to consume during pregnancy?
The echo is crazy :(
I know that iron is super important with a prenatal but it makes me so sick 😭 I am still taking it but I don’t want to be haha.
I had to take mine right before bed so I just slept through the sickness
My midwife suggested black strap molasses. I put a tablespoon in warm water with a squeeze of lemon. Iron needs vitamin c to get maximum absorption.
HI Becca, do you know if it's safe to take lecithin during the pregnancy? Its told that it's so beneficial for the foetus brains. But someone told me that taking lecithin could mature babys lungs prematurely and could be dangerous. Is that true? Thank you

what is a good brand for vitamin c cause YL is always out of stock
So after your MMC and CP, did you need help with progesterone?
What do you recommend for pregnancy nausea?
how do manage to take 8 pills of the prenatal only? does it keep you awake at night ?
What time of day do you take these?
Do you think the ritual brand are a decent prenatal vitamin?😊
Overpriced, you can find ones just as good for ⅓ the cost
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 which do you suggest?
Great video! I’m breastfeeding and have been wondering if I can take the calm magnesium. I’m assuming it’s safe?
What about postnatal supplements? Worth it?
I would recommend magnesium glycinate
Dr. Aviva reccomends glycinate unless you're constipated citrate is good for constipation
How much RRL tea do you drink?
I’ve heard and seen most prenatals dont have both iron and calcium because calcium makes it harder to absorb and utilize iron?
Also, when vitamins say folate - does it have to have the “ mentholated “ after it or is it still whole form as long as it’s not folic acid?
Thank you!!
This video stressed me out more than anything
I'm planning to purchase a bunch of these vitamins. I am 17.5 weeks along and I'm afraid I have missed the critical development window and I should have been taking these before now =/ I've been taking a generic prenatal and vitamin D
You'll be fine.
Any tips on taking all 8 tablets a day of the prenatal vitamin? I am struggling!
Yes ! 4 am and 4 pm!
take half in the morning & half at night
They are not to be taken within 5 hours of bedtime as it may interfere with sleep

What is your opinion on Naturelo Prenatal?
When taking this many supplements do you ever worry about a nutrient like 6-10 same on every bottle. Like every bottle has biotin or vit e and you take three different bottles with those each on them. Is it ok? Hopefully that made sense lol. Idk how to word it.
I was wondering the same thing!
If I'm following you correctly, you want to find vitamins that aren't mixed with other vitamins if you are already taking a daily multi vitamin.
Dr lynch means well, but his quality of raw material is shit.
Orthomolecular products are made in their own FDA manufacturing labs most supplements are not made by the brand. Orthomolecular only uses the highest quality raw materials in their supplements. You should do some research. I’ve been researching nutrition and differences in brands and manufacturing for 20 years. I own my own wellness practice. I’ve tried hundreds of brands. I’ve done side by side lab testing and Orthomolecular products have always had better effectiveness.
Then which prenatal do you recommend? I purchased this and currently experiencing headaches.
E V E R Y Human needs the"same" nutrition! Species specific!
I’ve been waiting for this video 😍
