FullWell
FullWell is one of our go-to subscription-based brands for non-GMO supplements for women. Their research-backed formulas and OBGYN approval are among the many hallmarks of quality for which this brand stands. Their emphasis on safety and transparency includes testing products both internally and by independent labs like Eurofins before sharing results online is equally impressive.
This company also ensures superior bioavailability by offering many of its nutrients as chelated minerals, meaning that vitamins and minerals are bound with amino acids like glycine for easier absorption by your digestive tract and passed onto your baby.
This brand offers an outstanding prenatal multivitamin that contains fertility essentials such as folate and B12, in addition to bioavailable minerals in active forms like chelated minerals. However, this prenatal does not include DHA (which they offer separately as Fish Oil supplements) or iron as some women can receive enough through diet alone; thus they recommend consulting your doctor regarding your precise iron needs, providing an iron bump product to assist with finding your dosage needs.
