Basic Prenatal

Basic Prenatal is a comprehensive supplement formulated with the special needs of pregnancy in mind. Manufactured with none of the additives and coatings usually found in

mainstream prenatal tablets, Basic Prenatal includes only the most bioavailable nutrients.

Basic Prenatal is a complete dietary supplement for pregnant and lactating women

*  Well-absorbed, highly bioavailable nutrients reduce risk of stomach upset
*  Includes iron and bioactive form of folate to help maintain healthy iron and folate levels
*  Provides the active forms of folic acid – L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folinic acid in a balanced 1:1 ratio
*  Contains well-absorbed iron picolinate, which is easy on the stomach and non-constipating

High-potency multiple vitamins may sometimes be difficult for a woman to “stomach,” particularly during the first trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, Thorne does not include
large amounts of the nutrients commonly known to cause stomach upset. Instead, these nutrients are included in their most active or absorbable forms for superior utilization.*
Among these are the active forms of several of the B vitamins – pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (vitamin B6), riboflavin 5′-phosphate (vitamin B2), folinic acid and L-5-MTHF (active
forms of folate), and adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12).

Calcium in large doses may also cause stomach upset. Therefore, a moderate dose in the highly absorbable citrate-malate form is used. Additional calcium and magnesium can be
supplemented, especially in the final trimester.

Basic Prenatal may also be taken by nursing mothers.

Ingredients and Recommended Use

Take 3 capsules daily or as recommended by a health-care practitioner.

ALLERGY WARNINGS: This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

PURITY: This product does not contain wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, soy, egg, dairy products, or artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavors. This product also does not contain lactose, palmitic acid, magnesium stearate, or stearic acid.

PREGNANCY: If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

INTERACTIONS: As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

Folinic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as they can interfere with methotrexate’s anti-neoplastic activity; however, these folate sources have not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.
