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.

Warnings:

ALLERGY WARNING

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

PREGNANCY

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

INTERACTIONS

As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
