Optimal Prenatal Protein Powder

Optimal Prenatal Protein Powder provides a comprehensive prenatal formula with a unique blend of amino acids, chelated minerals, and vitamins designed to meet the high nutritional needs of women who are pregnant or preparing for pregnancy. 

Critical Ingredients:

L-5-MTHF: This is the most biologically available form of folate, which is essential to support healthy cognitive development. Optimal Prenatal also provides folinic acid, a non-methylated form of folate that can be easily converted to coenzyme forms within the body. This optimal blend of folates may work in conjunction with amino acids, chelated minerals, and other B vitamins to support normal cell growth and cardiovascular, neurologic and immune health.

Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin: Two active coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. These may help support healthy fetal development, energy metabolism and the methylation process.

B Complex Vitamins: Active forms of riboflavin and B6, plus additional biotin to support healthy growth and development create a well balanced B complex protein. Biotin may also help support healthy skin, hair and nails. Both vitamin B6 and ginger extract are special features of this formula, supporting digestive comfort.

Vitamin A: Included in two forms: beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate, to help support those who have trouble converting “provitamin A” compounds (such as beta-carotene) into the active retinyl/retinol forms.

Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10: Provide antioxidant support, supporting a healthy immune system and cellular integrity.

Red raspberry leaf: Historically been used as a tonic for pregnant women to help support circulation, uterine comfort and digestion.

Trace minerals: Included in their chelated forms, as amino acid-chelated minerals are typically well-absorbed and may be more easily tolerated than alternative supplemental forms.

Betaine HCl: Supports healthy digestion and optimize absorption of nutrients.
