Chosen with your eyes open. Here's the thinking.
Why methylfolate rather than folic acid?
Both are forms of folate. Folic acid must be converted by the body; methylfolate is the form the body uses as is. This formula names its form on the label so you know exactly what you're taking, and your midwife or GP can see it too.
This is a food supplement, not a substitute for antenatal care. Your midwife and GP lead; this bottle is one part of how you follow their advice.
Why this formula
If they've advised you on folate specifically, follow their advice; they know your picture.
When do people start taking it?
It's formulated for the whole span from trying to conceive through pregnancy. Many women start a prenatal before conception; the NHS advises folate supplementation from before pregnancy, and your midwife or GP can tell you what's right for your circumstances.
Who is this NOT for?
If you're not pregnant or trying to conceive, a prenatal is simply the wrong tool, not a stronger one. Our Women's One Daily Essentials Multivitamin is built for everyday life and is the better fit.

Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, quiet support for a stage of life that asks a lot of you. - The everyday defences, covered. Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc and vitamin B12 each contribute to the normal function of the immune system*, from the same daily routine. - A label you can take to your appointment. Every nutrient, form and amount is on this page. Bring it to your midwife or GP and talk it through; a good prenatal should survive that conversation.

Questions
When should I start taking a prenatal?
It's formulated for trying to conceive through pregnancy, and many women begin before conception. Your midwife or GP can tell you the right timing for you; NHS guidance on folate before and in early pregnancy is the place they'll start.
What's the difference between methylfolate and folic acid?
Both are folate. Folic acid needs converting by the body; methylfolate is the form the body uses directly. This formula uses methylfolate and says so on the label, so you and your midwife can see exactly what you're taking.
Can I take it while breastfeeding?
Ask your midwife, health visitor or GP first; they know your full picture. If you're past birth, our Postnatal Multivitamin is the formula built for that stage, and worth raising in the same conversation.
Is it vegan?
Yes, these are vegan capsules. The full ingredient list on this page is the place to check; nothing sits behind a blend name.
How do I know what's actually in it?
The nutrition table on this page lists every nutrient, its form, the amount and the %NRV. Every bottle carries its batch number and best-before date. Bring the label to your appointment if you'd like a second pair of eyes on it.
Does it replace my antenatal appointments or a healthy diet?
No, and it isn't meant to. It's a food supplement that sits alongside your antenatal care and your meals. Your midwife and GP lead; this is one consistent daily part of following their advice.
What to expect
Days 1 to 14: Nothing you'd notice, and that's normal for a multivitamin. Anchor the serving to the same meal each day so the routine settles in early.
Weeks 4 to 8: The routine has become automatic, one small constant in a stage of life full of variables. Your antenatal appointments remain the real checkpoints.
Ongoing: Formulated for the whole span from trying to conceive through pregnancy. One bottle is two months at three capsules a day; most people set a rhythm once and stop thinking about it.

Our in-house nutrition tip
What I look for in a prenatal is a label I could hand to a midwife without flinching. This one reads the way I want it to: the folate is methylfolate, the form the body uses without conversion, alongside iron, calcium and vitamin B12, with every form and amount named. The routine matters as much as the formula, so tie the serving to the same meal each day. And to be clear about what it is not: it does not replace your antenatal care, your appointments or your midwife's advice. They lead; this is how you follow them, consistently.
