3rd Trimester Prenatal Pack

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.* In the third trimester, iron requirements increase significantly as baby’s growth accelerates and most iron transfer from mom to baby occurs, with up to 80% of women becoming deficient by this stage.* Ferrochel® iron supports red blood cell formation and oxygen delivery to baby as blood volume reaches its peak during pregnancy.*

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 third trimester to support metabolism and cell division in mom and baby.*

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.*

120mg choline per serving as VitaCholine®, the first choline source clinically studied to be bioavailable during pregnancy, supporting both mom and baby. During the third trimester, choline works synergistically with omega-3 fatty acids to support baby’s rapidly growing brain.* 90-95% of pregnant women don't consume enough choline daily, and most prenatals don't contain it.*

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 third 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.*

5 billion CFU probiotic blend per serving, including 12 strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, the key species found in the healthy vaginal and gut microbiome during pregnancy.* In the third trimester, rising progesterone naturally increases Bifidobacterium in the gut microbiome, supporting a healthy microbial balance for both mom and baby.* A prospective study of 154 US mothers found that probiotic use during pregnancy was associated with significantly lower inflammatory markers in breastmilk.*

100mg calcium per serving as Dicalcium Malate (DimaCal®), selected for absorption and tolerability. Calcium is rapidly transferred across the placenta to support baby's bone development, with baby’s bones growing the fastest in the third trimester. U.S. pregnant women average 500-750mg of calcium daily from food alone, below the 1,000mg daily recommended amount for pregnancy.*

130mg magnesium bisglycinate chelate and magnesium amino acid chelate per serving–30mg from our core prenatal plus 200mg added specifically for the third 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 up to 64% of women in the third trimester* U.S. pregnant women average only 294mg of magnesium daily, below the 350–360mg daily recommended amount for pregnancy.*

250mg DHA + 100mg EPA per serving in triglyceride form, the higher-bioavailability format shown in research to absorb more effectively than the ethyl ester form found in most supplements, at a dose consistent that meets and exceeds ACOG’s recommendations for omega-3 intake during pregnancy. DHA accumulates most rapidly in the third trimester as baby’s brain and nervous system development accelerates toward birth, while also supporting mom's cognitive health and mood as maternal DHA reserves are actively depleted.* 95% of pregnant women consume less than 200mg EPA and DHA daily from food alone
