Iron in Your Prenatal: Good or Bad

Iron is a key nutrient in pregnancy.

During pregnancy, the recommended intake of dietary iron increases as a woman’s blood volume expands and the baby grows. Iron is a key nutrient, responsible for the development of the baby's’ brain (often we think about folate and choline but without enough iron no amount of folate and choline will matter), optimal oxygen levels, and overall growth and maturing the baby.

While the recommended dietary allowance of iron during pregnancy is 27mg per day, a mother’s net need is quite a bit higher. Many mothers of course take a Prenatal supplement containing iron.

Unfortunately, not only are the forms in even the best prenatal inferior related to absorption and side effects, their potency is hindered because of the packaging of other minerals like calcium which directly binds to and hinders iron absorption.

This is why myself and leading doctors recommend taking iron separately from your prenatal. So, you get a prenatal or multivitamin without iron in it and then take your iron 2-4 hours away from your multivitamin supplement.

Because of this need, I created Blood Vitality. It delivers maximum absorption of iron in the most gentle way, this keeps both mom and baby’s tummies happy and their bodies and minds thriving.
