Vida and I became extremely passionate about fertility when we were faced with a heartbreaking moment in early 2020—we both experienced pregnancy loss a week apart.
We were determined to understand and improve our chances of having a healthy pregnancy but were shocked when we learned from functional medicine doctors and fertility experts about an overlooked aspect of fertility: men's health. We also learned that while the female prenatal supplement market was saturated, the majority of prenatal supplements over-promise and underdeliver during the most crucial time in a woman's life.
From that day forward, we made it our mission to reimagine the gender paradigms around fertility and pregnancy and created WeNatal. Expecting parents need a solution that caters to the diverse needs of their reproductive health, and one that is effective and convenient.
With WeNatal, we've managed to encapsulate a powerhouse of 24 key nutrients within just three capsules per day, revolutionizing the way couples approach prenatal nutrition.

Ingredients matter: And you deserve the best
WeNatal stands out as one of the few brands on the market that aligns with current research-backed recommendations for choline, folate, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin D. Comprising 24 scientifically proven ingredients (almost double compared to what’s on the market), our women's and men's prenatals benefit both mothers AND fathers-to-be—and babies from preconception through postpartum.
Store-bought brands of prenatal supplements may seem like a more cost-effective option, however they often compromise on the quality and bioavailability of the nutrients they offer. Many prenatal vitamins contain synthetic forms of vitamins and minerals, which can be challenging for the body to absorb and utilize effectively. High-quality prenatal supplements (like WeNatal's men's prenatal and women's prenatal) typically feature bioavailable forms of essential nutrients, which are derived from whole-food sources or chelated forms that enhance absorption and utilization by the body.
Additionally, store-bought brands may lack essential nutrients or provide inadequate amounts, potentially leaving gaps in the nutritional requirements for both the expectant mother and developing fetus. Investing in a high-quality prenatal vitamin can ensure optimal nutrition during this critical phase, supporting the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby.

Filling the gap with evidence-backed dosages
It doesn’t matter what goes into a prenatal supplement—or any supplement, for that matter—if it’s not in the right form and dosage.
WeNatal employs cutting-edge nutrient extraction technology to derive the maximum benefit from each ingredient. This technology ensures that the vitamins and minerals are sourced from highly bioavailable forms, optimizing absorption by the body. This means that you can rest assured you're getting the most out of every capsule.
During the research and development process, it was so important for us to use the highest-quality ingredients we could find. WeNatal formulas use VitaCholine®, the premiere source of choline, widely recognized as the gold standard, and Ferrochel, a stomach-friendly, chelated form of iron. This meticulous selection allows all necessary nutrients to be accommodated in appropriate amounts —and within just three small capsules.
Stable and potent nutrient delivery
To maintain the potency of the nutrients, WeNatal formulas utilize microencapsulation technology. This process involves enveloping each nutrient in a protective coating, shielding it from external factors that could compromise its stability. As a result, the nutrients remain potent and effective until the moment they are released in the digestive system. This also creates less nausea (crucial in those early months on your pregnancy journey).

We obsessed—so you don't have to
WeNatal’s groundbreaking formula is a result of meticulous research and a deep understanding of the nutritional requirements to support fertility health.
A 2023 study found that 90% of pregnant women have micronutrient deficiencies, and unfortunately, most prenatals on the market fail to offer the appropriate doses of key nutrients to support both fertility and pregnancy. Both WeNatal for Her and Him were formulated by top doctors and nutritionists in functional medicine: Each capsule is carefully crafted to include a precise combination of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, offering a holistic approach to support paternal, maternal and fetal health.
Raising the bar for prenatal health
We created WeNatal because we refuse to compromise on what goes into your body. Every single ingredient is intentionally chosen: non-GMO, free from synthetic fillers, artificial colors, and common allergens like gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. This isn't just a supplement—it's a promise of pure, uncompromised nutrition.
We don't just test. We obsessively verify. Each batch undergoes rigorous third-party lab testing, cutting through the wild west of unregulated supplements. Why? Because when it comes to your fertility journey, good enough is never enough. Our certification isn't just a stamp—it's our personal guarantee of quality.
Packing a comprehensive nutritional powerhouse into just three capsules isn't magic—it's our relentless commitment to innovation. We've reimagined prenatal nutrition by combining breakthrough science with meticulous ingredient selection. WeNatal isn't just a supplement; it's a revolution in reproductive health, designed to elevate your conception journey from the cellular level up.
Science-backed support
WeNatal For Her, our women's prenatal, was updated based on this 2022 peer reviewed study that outlines optimal prenatal doses of vitamins and minerals based on over 200 scientific studies. We also added chromium for metabolic support and adjusted B-vitamin levels to optimize methylation.
WeNatal for Him, our men's prenatal, is designed to promote sperm function. To make it complete, we added thiamine, riboflavin, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin K2, and increased doses of CoQ10, L-carnitine, and zinc due to research showing improved sperm outcomes from higher doses.
WeNatal is the first prenatal supplement intentionally optimized for both men and women.
Unlike most other prenatals on the market, WeNatal’s comprehensive formula is made with 100% clean ingredients and includes nutrients that others leave out, such as choline, in just 3 pills per day. Because we're on this journey together, we prioritize sustainability in our sourcing and packaging, plus tools to support your mental health.
So the next time someone tells you “all prenatals are the same”, tell them about WeNatal.
