Quick Facts

Who Progressive Prenatal Is For

• Women planning a pregnancy who want to start a prenatal before conception
• Pregnant women looking for a complete daily prenatal multivitamin
• Breastfeeding mothers who want to keep up their nutrition through nursing
• Women who prefer methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) over folic acid
• Anyone who finds one large prenatal tablet hard to swallow and prefers smaller capsules spread through the day

Who this product is NOT for:

• People with a fish allergy — the label states it may contain fish ingredients
• Anyone taking blood thinners or with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, unless cleared by a health care practitioner first
• Those who want omega-3 DHA included — this formula doesn't contain fish oil, so pair it with a separate omega-3 if your practitioner recommends one

Vitamart's Take

Progressive's prenatal covers the essentials with modern forms: methylfolate instead of folic acid, methylcobalamin B12, vitamin K1 and K2, and iron as ferrous gluconate. Ginger extract and lutein round out the formula. The three-capsule routine means smaller capsules and steadier intake across the day, which many expecting moms find easier than one big tablet. It's a strong choice from conception right through nursing.

How Progressive Prenatal Compares

Methylfolate vs. folic acid

Many prenatals use synthetic folic acid. Progressive uses L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, an active form of folate.

Prenatal vs. a regular women's multivitamin

A prenatal is built around the needs of pregnancy and nursing, with folate, iron and iodine front and centre. Progressive's women's multis, like Adult Women, are made for everyday adult use.

Capsules vs. one-a-day tablets

Three smaller capsules spread across meals can be easier to swallow than a single large tablet.

What Is Methylfolate?

• Folate is a B vitamin that's especially important before and during early pregnancy
• L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is an active form of folate
• Folic acid, the form in many supplements, must be converted by the body into active folate
• Each capsule of Progressive Prenatal provides 200 mcg of folate as L-5-MTHF
• The label notes that daily folate beginning at least three months before pregnancy and continuing through early pregnancy helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects

Recommended Purpose

• Supports nutritional needs throughout all stages of childbirth, from conception to the completion of nursing
• Helps support normal early fetal development
• Helps support immune function and energy production
• Daily folate supplementation beginning at least three months before pregnancy and continuing through early pregnancy helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects

How To Use

• Adult women: take 1 capsule with breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3 capsules per day
• Consult a health care practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen
• Stop use if hypersensitivity/allergy occurs
• Keep out of reach of children — there is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child
