ALLERGY WARNING
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.
PREGNANCY
If pregnant, consult your health professional 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.
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has 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.
Label directions
Take 3 capsules daily or as recommended by your health professional.

About Thorne - Basic Prenatal
Thorne Basic Prenatal is a comprehensive multivitamin-mineral formula designed to support nutritional needs during pregnancy and the preconception period. It features folate as 5-MTHF (the bioavailable methylated form), along with iron, choline, and a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals in highly absorbable forms.
Why It's Worth Considering: Thorne's practitioner-grade manufacturing standards mean no unnecessary fillers or poorly absorbed forms, notably, it uses methylfolate rather than synthetic folic acid, which matters for individuals with MTHFR gene variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Most supplements are stable at room temperature (59-77°F). Keep the bottle sealed between uses. Check the label for any specific storage requirements, some probiotics and oils require refrigeration.
-
Most supplements can be taken together safely. However, some minerals compete for absorption (zinc and iron, calcium and magnesium) and should be taken at different times of day. If you're taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider about potential interactions.
-
Most supplements benefit from consistent daily use over 2-3 months to achieve full effect. Some (like vitamins and minerals) can be taken indefinitely as part of a daily routine. Others (like specific herbs) may benefit from cycling. Follow the product's recommended protocol or consult a practitioner.
-
Fat-soluble supplements (vitamins A, D, E, K, omega-3, CoQ10) should be taken with a meal containing fat. Water-soluble supplements (B vitamins, vitamin C) can be taken anytime. Minerals are generally best absorbed with food. Probiotics should be taken with or just before a meal. Check the product label for specific timing recommendations.
-
Track your specific health goals, energy levels, sleep quality, joint comfort, digestion, mood, etc. Most supplements take 2-8 weeks for noticeable effects. For objective measurement, baseline lab tests before starting (and repeat at 3 months) provide definitive evidence. The Gabriel Score incorporates clinical evidence for expected outcomes.
