Did you know that approximately 90%–95% of pregnant women consume less choline than the Adequate Intake (AI) level? And while the body can synthesize choline, the amount is not sufficient to meet human needs at any time, especially during pregnancy. While most prenatal supplements contain little or no choline, FullWell Prenatal contains 300 mg per serving.

CONTAINS 4,000 IU’S OF VITAMIN D
A double-blind, randomized clinical trial found that Vitamin D supplementation of 4,000 IU/day for pregnant women was safe and most effective in achieving sufficiency in all women and their neonates regardless of race. Since it has been well established that vitamin D plays a critical role in fertility, fetal development and preventing pregnancy complications, FullWell Prenatal contains 4,000 IU’s of this critical nutrient.

ACTIVE B VITAMINS WITHOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS
We at FullWell know the importance of providing active forms of B vitamins, particularly vitamins B-12 and folate, but did you know that too many methylated B vitamins can cause anxiety and other side effects in some patients? The FullWell Prenatal expertly combines methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin and methyltetrahydrofolatewith calcium folinate (folinic acid) to provide enough active B vitamins while reducing side effects that affect patient compliance.
250MCG OF IODINE SOURCED FROM KELP TO SUPPORT THYROID HEALTH
Many prenatals contain less than the recommended levels of iodine. FullWell Prenatal contains 250 mcg of iodine which is in line with the World Health Organization and American Thyroid Association's recommendations for iodine supplementation during pregnancy.

AN IRON-FREE FORMULA TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM CUSTOMIZABILITY
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to iron needs, with some women not needing iron supplementation at all to others needing doses higher than what many prenatal supplements provide. FullWell Prenatal is iron-free to provide maximum customizability while also increasing tolerance.
EXCEEDING STANDARDS FOR HEAVY METALS, ALLERGENS AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS
Unlike the majority of prenatal supplements, FullWell Prenatal was manufactured in a facility that is GMP-certified and has undergone rigorous ingredient testing including independent, third-party testing to ensure it exceeds even the strictest standards for heavy metals, allergens, and other contaminants. We believe in full transparency on the product that you recommend for your patients so we provide test results upon request.
