WeNatal for Her and Omega DHA +

WeNatal for Her includes key nutrients you need to support a healthy pregnancy, such as methylated B vitamins, methylfolate, iron, iodine, zinc, magnesium, and choline, in their most absorbable forms. Additionally, our formula provides a higher dose of vitamin D and choline than several other prenatal supplements currently available.

Many prenatals on the market use synthetic ingredients such as folic acid which many people can’t absorb and can actually be harmful for those with a certain genetic profile. Doses of ingredients are all based on clinical research and backed by science. These are functional doses that make a difference! Our formula is non-GMO, free of major allergens (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs and nut) and free of synthetic fillers and colors.

We make it easy on you with just three capsules designed to be easy on your stomach. Our prenatal is delivered to your door for just $59.95/month.

We recommend you start taking WeNatal for Her at least 3-6 months before trying to get pregnant. However, it is generally a good idea for most women of reproductive age to take a prenatal supplement, and thus can be started long before conception.

Yes! We have included key nutrients to support healing after birth and breastfeeding – iron, B complex vitamins, choline, vitamin D, and antioxidants. We recommend remaining on your prenatal for at least 3 months after giving birth, and at least 12 months if you are breastfeeding. Staying on the prenatal a few months after you have weaned can help replenishing stores in your body. If you plan to get pregnant again, you can continue to stay on the WeNatal as a daily support.

Yes! Nutrients such as vitamin A, C, D, E, zinc, methylfolate, selenium, and iron are all immune-supporting nutrients, especially for women.

Vitamin A has important roles in genetic expression, embryonic development, organ formation during fetal development, normal immune function, and eye development and vision.

We combine two forms of vitamin A – mixed carotenoids (the family of vitamin A compounds found in nature including beta-carotene, lycopene, etc.) and preformed vitamin A, palmitate, which is easily absorbed. Some people have a difficult time converting carotenoids to palmitate vitamin A, but too much of the palmitate can become toxic, and research shows it may increase the risk of birth defects at levels above 5,000IU (1,500mcg RAE) daily.

Mixed carotenoids have not been linked to birth defects, but giving carotenoids alone is not sufficient to maintain optimal vitamin A levels. Therefore, WeNatal included 1,000mcg RAE of mixed carotenoids and 1,200mcg RAE of palmitate which is also recommended in this research study.

We use a bit of both to meet the increased needs of vitamin A in pregnancy for all women while staying within a safe level for baby. We also caution women taking WeNatal to limit concentrated sources of vitamin A from their diet, especially liver, so they do not exceed the safe levels of preformed vitamin A.

Pregnant women need at least double the amount of iron compared to non-pregnant women. However, unless advised by a licensed healthcare professional due to your individual needs, you should not supplement with additional iron.<br />And don’t worry, we use a form of iron that is gentle on your stomach!

Supplementing with higher doses of vitamin D in pregnancy has been correlated with improved bone mineralization of the baby compared to those with standard dosing.

About 40-60% of the population presents with genetic variants (MTHFR) that inhibit the body’s ability to convert folic acid into the active form of folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate). Since folic acid has well-known and well-studied benefits in pregnancy, we use the form of folic acid that is bioavailable to all women, no matter their genetic uniqueness. 5-MTHF will not harm those who do not present with any genetic variants (MTHFR).

Preconception: Supports energy production, mood, and builds nutrient reserves so that mom and baby are both sure to have what they need. Key nutrients that are often low in women of childbearing age include vitamin D and iron, both of which you want at optimal levels before pregnancy. Having enough B vitamins, especially folate, is key for supporting a healthy pregnancy. Also, inositol may support a healthy conception if taken before and during the process of getting pregnant.

1st trimester: Folate and choline support healthy neural tube development and facilitate healthy brain development in the critical 28 days after you conceive. Also, increasing blood supply makes iron especially important during the first trimester. Vitamin C not only supports bone and tissue development, but also enhances the absorption of iron.

2nd trimester: Nutrients such as vitamin D, B vitamins, and copper will support the continual development and growth of your baby’s newly formed organs and tissues.

3rd trimester: Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels when used as part of a healthy diet. Supports baby with nutrients through delivery. Nutrients such as vitamin C, D, magnesium, and antioxidants are especially important in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure already within the normal range. Adequate choline in the 3rd trimester has been associated with better cognitive function late in baby’s life.

Postpartum: To help mom with the healing process postpartum, as well as promote a healthy milk supply, iron,  B complex vitamins, choline, vitamin D, and antioxidants are key.

A blend of organic peppermint oils sourced and processed according to strict standards set by the National Organic Program, ensuring they’re derived from all-natural, non-synthetic sources. It’s there to balance the natural aroma of our high-potency ingredients. But don’t worry, there are no artificial chemicals or preservatives.

YES! Numerous studies show that getting enough omega-3s reduces the risk of early preterm delivery, one of the leading causes of infant mortality.

Unfortunately, most fish oil supplements on the market do not contain DPA or the ideal omega-3 ratio. Even worse, 10% of fish oil supplements on the market are rancid and 20% have been oxidized – which can cause more harm than good. WeNatal takes extra measures to ensure no oxidation has occurred and is third-party tested for purity and safety. 

As with all things related to your health, please consult with your physician before starting WeNatal.

No, not with WeNatal Omega DHA+! It’s a high-quality fish oil made from wild caught & sustainable sources with no artificial additives, flavors or colors.  It’s third-party tested for contaminants including heavy metals, mercury, dioxins, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

The minimum recommendation during pregnancy is 650 mg of total omega-3s, including 300 mg of DHA.

WeNatal Omega DHA+ provides 830 mg of total omega-3s and 600 mg of DHA, a level supported by research, to benefit your baby’s brain, eyes, and nervous system, while also helping mood and inflammation for mom.

It’s safe and optimal for most pregnancies, but check with your healthcare provider if you’re taking other supplements or have specific concerns.

WeNatal Omega DHA+ is certified by Friend of the Sea, an organization that ensures that seafood is sourced from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. The jar is made out of aluminum and there are no plastic containers or packaging being wasted.

Yes! Research has found that women who took an omega-3 supplement were almost two times more likely to get pregnant on their own versus the women who didn’t. Omega-3 DHA has also been shown to increase progesterone, encourage ovulation, and improve egg quality. With more women wanting to have children later in life, a number of studies have shown that omega-3s impact age-related fertility issues and can protect against the age-related decline in female fertility, improved FSH levels and support healthy egg quality.

Yes! Many studies show that supplementing with omega-3s help support sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology. Healthy sperm can improve conception rates, improve healthy birth outcomes, decrease miscarriage rates and improve health pregnancies and babies.

Omega-3s improve baby’s eye and brain growth and early development. Taking in enough omega-3s can lower a baby’s chances of getting asthma and other allergic conditions. They also may lower risk of preterm labor. Even with a thoughtfully planned diet, getting enough omega-3s is hard to get through food alone- so supplementation is key.

YES! In fact, several studies have shown that omega-3s are essential for overall female health and that supplementing omega-3s may help support healthy egg quality, delay ovarian aging, and improve pregnancy rates.

Omega-3s can also help improve sperm quality, including sperm count, motility, and morphology. Research has found that men who had higher levels of omega-3s in their sperm had better sperm quality, including higher sperm count and motility and had higher total semen volume and higher levels of testosterone, all of which play an important role in male fertility and increasing chances of pregnancy.

Our Omega DHA+ is sourced predominantly from Peru, and is made from wild-caught anchovy, sardine and mackerel. It contains the Friend of the Sea Certification and the fish rendering facility is European Human food Grade Certified.

WeNatal Omega DHA+ should not be taken by those with a seafood allergy. It is free of dairy, wheat, gluten, rice, soy, corn, nuts, sweeteners, artificial colors or flavors. Please consult with your physician if you are allergic to iodine or are taking blood thinner medications.

Our Omega DHA+ is highly stable and is protected by elements with the tin jar. However, we do recommend keeping the capsules out of high heat, and direct sunlight.

Ideally now! Studies show that 80% of women in the United States who are of childbearing age have insufficient levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Since mothers serve as the primary source of EPA and DHA, it becomes crucial to ensure an adequate intake of these nutrients both before, during, and after pregnancy. EPA and DHA play pivotal roles in promoting healthy pregnancy, aiding in fetal and newborn development, and providing vital mood and immune support for mothers during the postpartum period. Not to mention the benefits stretch far beyond just fertility health.

Yes, it’s totally fine to take the fish oil at the same time/right after WeNatal!  In fact, some vitamins in the prenatals like Vitamins A, D, E, K are fat soluble, which means taking them with a fat (like the fish oil) will help with absorption of these critical nutrients. We also recommend taking WeNatal with food for this reason and it can help offset any nausea or upset stomach.
