We've received questions about choosing between our two Advanced line of multivitamin supplements: Advanced Prenatal and Advanced Prep 35-39. The chart above lets you figure this out by your age, and where you are on your journey.
Here's a quick recap in words:
If you are already pregnant or nursing:
Take the Advanced Prenatal to give comprehensive support to your body and the developing baby. The 24 key vitamins and minerals include the full daily dose of brain-building choline and active folate, vitamins A, Bs, C, D and E in bioavailable forms and minerals like iron in absorption-optimized chelated forms.
If you are currently trying for a pregnancy:
Our recommendation for the preconception period changes based on your age (i.e., the age of the female partner):
- Trying and under 35: Take the Advanced Prenatal.
- Trying and between 35 and 39: Take the Advanced Prep 35-39, which gives you 25 mg/day of micronized DHEA to support your ovarian health*.
- Trying and over 40: Take the Advanced Prenatal, but also consider the 40+ Starter Pack or the It Starts with the Egg Preconception Support Pack for Women 40+, for a better-rounded support, including a larger dose of micronized DHEA to support your ovarian health*.
