Basic Prenatal

Basic Prenatal Details Pre-conception, pregnancy, and nursing are critical times to optimize a mother's health and nutrition – for both mom and baby. At a time when overall nutritional and caloric needs greatly increase, it is often difficult for a woman to fulfill her daily nutrient needs through diet alone, particularly during the first trimester when morning sickness can prevail. Because better absorption means less stomach upset and constipation, Basic Prenatal is formulated with the most bioavailable nutrients available that are gentle on the stomach. In addition, Basic Prenatal is made without the additives and coatings found in other prenatal supplements.
