Prenatal Pro is a 4-capsule/day multivitamin/mineral complex designed to provide a wide range of nutrients that complement an average diet. It is formulated based on the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and Adequate Intake (AI) and takes into account the average nutrient intake as well as common deficiencies in typical Western diets to support a healthy pregnancy and optimal fetal development.
Prenatal Pro is unique in that it contains a blend of gamma and delta-tocotrienols, which are more potent antioxidants than alphatocopherol and have exceptional health benefits. (See Annatto-EMC fact sheet for more details.) It also contains a bio-identical form of folate with superior bioavailability compared to folic acid, which may limit the risk of birth defects associated with common genetic polymorphisms.
The optimal intake of vitamins and minerals for women who are pregnant or who wish to conceive is an ongoing research topic. This includes evaluation of the diet that humans have evolved on for millions of years as well as research proposing to redefine the optimal minimum levels of nutrients for the support of healthy DNA replication (also known as genetic stability). All of this is relevant to the health of pregnant women and the normal development of the fetus. The proposed new Australian RDA for folate (700 mcg) is higher than the US RDA (600 mcg), but is similar to the proposed estimate of the average dietary folate intake of 736 mcg.
In addition, beyond the recommended dietary allowances for the general population, it is important to consider clinical status, age and genetics, all of which are individual factors, when estimating the nutrients needed for good health. For example, as one study found, poly-morphisms related to the folate/homocysteine metabolic pathway may contribute to an increased risk for the development of certain pregnancy-related conditions. The doses of vitamins B2, B6, B12 and folic acid contained in Prenatal ProTM are adequate to support optimal homocysteine levels for a large portion of the population, but not for individuals with single nucleotide polymorphisms, particularly those affecting the homocysteine metabolic pathways and/or folate receptor activity
