Calcium is essential for baby's skeletal development – and demand increases as pregnancy progresses. This capsule is included specifically for the second and third trimesters when baby's bones are hardening.*
Support Muscle Comfort for Mom
Magnesium helps support healthy muscle and nerve function, which is important for muscle relaxation as leg cramps become more common later in the second and third trimester.*
Every ingredient is backed by a body of clinical research. We proudly test and wait for the micro, heavy metal, and purity testing of every batch so that you can rest assured you’re getting our very best across our products.
24 Key Ingredients
2nd Trimester Prenatal Packc
KEY INGREDIENTS
Methylfolate (5-MTHF) | 700 mcg DFE as Methylfolate (5-MTHF)
Methylfolate (5-MTHF) | 700 mcg DFE as Methylfolate (5-MTHF)
700mcg DFE methylfolate (5-MTHF) per serving, the bioavailable form your body absorbs directly. More than one-third of pregnant women don't get enough folate from food alone, making dose and form critical in the second trimester to support metabolism and cell division in mom and baby.*
Iron | 16 mg of Iron as Ferrochel® (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate)
Iron | 16 mg of Iron as Ferrochel® (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate)
16mg iron per serving as Ferrochel® (ferrous bisglycinate chelate), a chelated iron bound to glycine, clinically studied for superior absorption and gentler on digestion than standard iron forms. Ferrochel® iron supports red blood cell formation and oxygen delivery to the placenta as blood volume expands during pregnancy.* A 2026 analysis of NHANES data found iron deficiency affects more than 50% of pregnant women.
Iodine | 150mcg Iodine
Iodine | 150mcg Iodine
150mcg iodine per serving as potassium iodide, at the amount recommended by the American Thyroid Association, the Endocrine Society, and the American Academy of Pediatrics for all pregnant women daily. Iodine requirements increase by more than 50% during pregnancy to support baby's thyroid development and neurocognitive development, yet 23% of pregnant women fall short on iodine daily.*
Choline | 120 mg of Choline as Choline Bitartrate (VitaCholine®)
Choline | 120 mg of Choline as Choline Bitartrate (VitaCholine®)
120mg choline per serving as VitaCholine®, the first choline source clinically studied to be bioavailable during pregnancy, supporting both mom and baby. In the second trimester, choline continues to support baby’s rapid brain growth and mom’s needs as well. 90-95% of pregnant women don't consume enough choline daily, and most prenatals don't contain it.*
Vitamin D | 2,000 IU (50mcg)
Vitamin D | 2,000 IU (50mcg)
2,000 IU (50mcg) Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) per serving, at the dose recommended by the Endocrine Society for pregnant women and supported by a 2018 systematic review of 24 randomized clinical trials including 5,405 pregnant women. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption, and as baby's skeletal development accelerates in the second trimester and calcium demands increase, adequate Vitamin D is essential to ensure that calcium is absorbed and put to use. Up to 50% of pregnant women have insufficient Vitamin D levels, even in sunny climates.*
STAGE-SPECIFIC INGREDIENTS
Calcium | 200 mg of Calcium as Dicalcium Malate (DimaCal®)
Calcium | 200 mg of Calcium as Dicalcium Malate (DimaCal®)
200mg calcium per serving as Dicalcium Malate (DimaCal®), selected for absorption and tolerability. Baby’s bone development accelerates in the second trimester, increasing the demand for calcium as baby's skeleton begins to harden. U.S. pregnant women average 500-750mg of calcium daily from food alone, below the 1,000mg daily recommended amount for pregnancy.*
Magnesium | 230 mg as Bisglycinate Chelate and Amino Acid Chelate.
Magnesium | 230 mg as Bisglycinate Chelate and Amino Acid Chelate.
230mg magnesium bisglycinate chelate and magnesium amino acid chelate–30mg from our core prenatal plus 200mg added specifically for the second trimester, in forms selected for absorption and gentle digestion. Magnesium supports healthy muscle and nerve function, important when leg cramps become more common in pregnancy, affecting nearly 1 in 4 women by the second trimester. U.S. pregnant women average only 294mg of magnesium daily, below the 350–360mg daily recommended amount for pregnancy.*
OTHER KEY INGREDIENTS
Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) | 250mg DHA + 100mg EPA
Omega-3 (DHA and EPA) | 250mg DHA + 100mg EPA

Do these prenatal vitamins contain folic acid?
Do these prenatal vitamins contain folic acid?
We use Methylfolate, the active form of folic acid, which is clinically proven to increase serum folate levels.
Since folate is crucial for early pregnancy, it was important to our medical panel to include the most bioavailable form of folate possible—in the form of Methylfolate in our prenatal vitamin formulas. "Folic acid is less expensive, [which] leads to the terms folate and folic acid being interchangeable," says Dr. Amber Samuel, a maternal-fetal medicine doctor and Perelel Panel member. "We know that while everyone has to convert folic acid for it to be useful, [it's] an added step, decreasing bioavailability. And some women cannot due to MTHFR mutations."

2nd Trimester Pack contains magnesium, which is shown to support relaxation. That said, we also recommend checking out our Sleep Support, a pregnancy-safe drink powder with a doctor-backed Magnesium Blend to support a restful sleep.
Why do you use omegas derived from fish oil?
Why do you use omegas derived from fish oil?
We chose to source omegas from fish because they are heavily research backed. To help reduce heavy metals in the final oil, we are also sourcing from smaller wild caught fish like anchovies and sardines.
