Prenatal with Methylfolate

Daily capsule

Prenatal with Methylfolate

A prenatal built around methylfolate rather than folic acid, plus iron, choline, and vitamin D. Worth starting at least three months before trying to conceive, since the neural tube closes before most women know they are pregnant.

Third-party tested

From $29/mo

Includes clinician visits, lab panel, medication, and unlimited messaging.

See if I qualify

No charge until a clinician approves your plan.

Adequate folate intake before conception substantially reduces the risk of neural tube defects.

What is in it

L-methylfolate 800 mcg, iron 27 mg, choline 300 mg, vitamin D3 2,000 IU, iodine, and DHA.

How to take it

  • Take one capsule daily with food.
  • Start at least three months before trying to conceive.
  • Continue throughout pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
  • Separate from calcium supplements by two hours for iron absorption.

Why clinicians prescribe it

Already-active folate

A significant share of people carry a gene variant that converts folic acid poorly. Methylfolate skips that step.

Includes choline

Important for fetal brain development and left out of a surprising number of prenatals.

Iron that is tolerable

A gentler iron form, since standard prenatal iron is a common reason women stop taking one.

Common questions

Yes. The folate requirement before conception is difficult to hit from food alone, and the window that matters closes very early.

Important safety information

Keep away from children, since iron overdose is dangerous. Nausea is common and usually improves if taken with food or at night. Tell your clinician about every supplement you take during pregnancy.
