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.
Iron16 mg of Iron as Ferrochel® (Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate)
Iron16 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.
Iodine150 mcg of Iodine (as Potassium Iodide)
Iodine150 mcg of Iodine (as Potassium Iodide)
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.
Choline120 mg of Choline as Choline Bitartrate (VitaCholine®)
Choline120 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 D2,000 IU (50mcg) of Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D2,000 IU (50mcg) of Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol)
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.
Calcium200 mg of Calcium as Dicalcium Malate (DimaCal®)
Calcium200 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.
Magnesium230 mg of Magnesium as Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate and Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate
Magnesium230 mg of Magnesium as Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate and Magnesium 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.
Omega-3 (DHA and EPA)250mg DHA + 100mg EPA
Omega-3 (DHA and EPA)250mg DHA + 100mg EPA
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 that meets and exceeds ACOG’s recommendations for omega-3 intake during pregnancy. In the second trimester, baby's brain is growing rapidly and DHA is essential for supporting brain development and healthy vision, while also supporting mom's own cognitive health. 95% of pregnant women consume less than 200mg EPA and DHA daily from food alone.

Collapsible content
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."
Are Perelel products third-party tested?
Are Perelel products third-party tested?
Yes, we complete third-party testing on all of our products to confirm purity and potency. All of our vitamins are made in FDA Registered and Inspected Facilities, which meet FDA 21 CFR 111 guidelines and are also cGMP Certified.
