What to Look for in a Prenatal Vitamin — And How EverNatal Delivers

Jump to:

Choosing a prenatal vitamin can feel overwhelming. With so many options available, it’s essential to understand what nutrients matter most — and how your supplement delivers them.

Here’s a breakdown of the key nutrients every prenatal should include, why they matter, and how EverNatal goes above and beyond to support you through preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

1. Folate (Vitamin B9)

Why it matters: Folate is critical in the early stages of pregnancy for the prevention of neural tube defects in the developing fetus.

Evernatal Advantage:
Unlike many brands that use synthetic folic acid, EverNatal includes methyl-folate, a bioavailable form that’s better absorbed and suitable for individuals with MTHFR gene variations.

2. Choline

Why it matters: Choline supports fetal brain development and can reduce the risk of neural tube defects, much like folate.

Evernatal Advantage:
Each daily dose provides 550mg of choline — the highest amount available in any Australian prenatal — aligning with recommended levels for optimal neurological development.

3. Iron-Free

Why it matters: Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen throughout the body.

Evernatal Advantage:
Evernatal is intentionally iron-free to help reduce common side effects like nausea or constipation. This allows you to personalise iron supplementation based on your individual needs, under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

4. Vitamin D

Why it matters: Vitamin D plays a key role in calcium absorption, helping develop strong bones and teeth in your growing baby.

Evernatal Advantage:
Includes colecalciferol (Vitamin D3) — a form that is more efficiently utilised by the body than D2.

5. Iodine

Why it matters: Iodine supports healthy thyroid function and is vital for your baby’s brain and nervous system development.

Evernatal Advantage:
Formulated with potassium iodide, ensuring consistent, regulated iodine intake that meets pregnancy needs.

6. Vitamin B12

Why it matters: B12 helps form red blood cells, supports energy levels, and plays a crucial role in the development of your baby’s nervous system.

Evernatal Advantage:
Utilises mecobalamin, a bioactive form of B12 that is easily absorbed — unlike synthetic alternatives found in some prenatals.

7. Calcium

Why it matters: Essential for building strong bones and teeth in your baby, and maintaining your own bone health during pregnancy.

Evernatal Advantage:
Evernatal includes calcium pantothenate, which contributes to your daily calcium needs in a gentle, effective form.

8. Vitamin C

Why it matters: Vitamin C supports immune health and enhances the absorption of iron when supplemented separately.

Evernatal Advantage:
Provides magnesium ascorbate, a buffered form of Vitamin C that’s gentler on the stomach — ideal during sensitive stages of pregnancy.

9. Additional Benefits of EverNatal

  • Vegan-Friendly: 100% free from animal-derived ingredients

  • Allergen-Free: No gluten, soy, nuts, or synthetic fillers

  • All-Stage Support: Formulated for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum

Why EverNatal Stands Out from Other Prenatal Brands

Many prenatals:

  • Use synthetic folic acid instead of methyl-folate

  • Include little or no choline, despite its critical role

  • Contain iron without allowing for personalized dosing

  • Rely on cheaper, poorly absorbed forms of nutrients

  • Include fillers, additives, or common allergens

EverNatal was developed by experienced Australian naturopaths to provide comprehensive, clean support for mothers who want the best — without compromise.
