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
• Nursing mothers who want to continue prenatal nutrition after the baby arrives
• Anyone who prefers the active methylfolate form of folate over folic acid
• Women who'd rather split their prenatal across three meals than take one large dose

Who this product is NOT for:

• Anyone with a fish allergy — the label says it may contain fish ingredients
• People taking blood thinners or with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer, unless a health care practitioner has approved it
• Anyone looking for DHA in their prenatal — this formula doesn't include it, so pair it with a separate omega-3
• Women who want a one-capsule-a-day prenatal — the dose is 3 capsules daily

Vitamart's Take

Progressive's current Prenatal uses methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin, the active forms of folate and B12, which is what many women look for today. Iron comes as ferrous gluconate, and ginger extract and lutein round out the formula. The dose is split into three capsules taken with meals, spreading it across the day. It doesn't include DHA, so we'd pair it with a fish oil — but as a core prenatal multivitamin from conception through nursing, it's well put together.

How Progressive Prenatal Compares

Methylfolate vs. folic acid

Many prenatals use folic acid, the synthetic form of folate. Progressive Prenatal uses L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form the body uses directly.

Prenatal vs. a regular women's multivitamin

Progressive MultiVitamins For Adult Women is built for everyday adult needs. The Prenatal is tailored to conception, pregnancy and nursing, with folate, iron, iodine and ginger extract.

Prenatal multi vs. prenatal plus omega-3

This formula covers vitamins and minerals but not DHA. If you want omega-3s during pregnancy, add a separate fish oil such as Progressive OmegEssential.

What Is Methylfolate?

• Folate is a B vitamin that plays a key role in cell division and early fetal development
• L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is the active form of folate found in the blood
• Unlike folic acid, it doesn't need to be converted by the body before it can be used
• Progressive Prenatal provides 200 mcg of folate as L-5-MTHF (calcium salt) per capsule
• Folate needs are higher before and during pregnancy, so many women start a prenatal before conceiving

Recommended Purpose

• Supports nutritional needs from conception to the completion of nursing
• Helps support normal early fetal development

How To Use

• Adult women: take 1 capsule with breakfast, 1 with lunch and 1 with dinner (3 capsules daily)
• Take a few hours before or after other medications or supplements
• Consult a health care practitioner before use if you take blood thinners or have a history of non-melanoma skin cancer
• Stop use if an allergic reaction occurs
• Keep out of reach of children. There is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child.
