• Provides highly bioavailable forms and clinical doses of essential vitamins and minerals for optimal prenatal health.
• Contains D3, K2 (menaquinone-7), and folate in the L-5-MTHF form – key prenatal vitamins whose forms have been shown to be superior to those generally used in prenatal formulas.
• Provides citrate forms of key minerals, including magnesium, calcium, zinc, and copper, as well as 5'-phosphate forms of riboflavin and vitamin B6, and iron bisglycinate.

PreFoundation provides a comprehensive prenatal multivitamin/mineral, with optimal dosing and bioavailable forms of each nutrient. Vitamin D3 has been shown to restore vitamin D levels more effectively than vitamin D2, with higher maternal vitamin D levels being linked to a lower risk of ADHD, and supplementation being linked to a lower risk of childhood wheezing and higher birth weight/length. PreFoundation also provides L-5-MTHF, the bioactive form of folate, which bypasses the often-impaired enzymatic step required for folic acid activation. Consequently, pregnant women taking a supplemental L-5-MTHF have been shown to have higher red blood cell folate levels than when taking a supplemental folic acid. Improved executive function has also been observed in children whose mothers supplemented with 5-MTHF during pregnancy.

Potassium iodide provides an essential source of iodine, which is often deficient in women, but is linked to children’s cognitive development. Vitamin K2, in the menaquinone-7 form, is known to have a longer half-life than other forms of vitamin K, and has been associated with greater osteocalcin carboxylation in children, which is essential for optimal bone health. PreFoundation also provides highly bioavailable forms of other essential vitamins and minerals for prenatal health, including bioavailable citrate forms of calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper, as well as the bisglycinate form of iron, which has been shown to be as effective during pregnancy as double the dose of iron typically used. PreFoundation also provides superior forms of B vitamins, including vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, and the 5'-phosphate forms of riboflavin and vitamin B6.
