We refuse to use ingredients that can inhibit absorption. We perform our final production in the United States. Our Charleston, SC facility is third-party certified.

Four Rounds of Testing

We perform four rounds of testing for each product we manufacture – far above the industry standard. Thorne has invested in two state-of-the-art in-house laboratories that enable us to conduct four rounds of testing, including raw material testing, in-process batch testing, finished product testing, and expiration date stability testing for each lot of product that we manufacture.

Important information

Safety Information

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. The use of this supplement is not recommended concurrent with the use of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin) and/or methotrexate cancer therapy. 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. With the changes in hormones, and the sensitive stomach often experienced in early pregnancy, nausea, upset stomach, and aversion to the smell of prenatal vitamins is a very common and expected occurrence.

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024
I’ve done quite a bit of research on prenatal vitamins for my last pregnancy. Thorne matched everything I thought my baby and I needed. It was a toss up between this and fullwell (but I couldn’t stomach 8 pills at once). Although it was tough to swallow 3 pills every day it is nearly tasteless and I didn’t have any after effects. I appreciate that Amazon offers subscriptions and free shipping.

These have a great amount of nutrients needed for you and baby. Love the choline addition, 3 pills is not bad to swallow. BUT I can’t with the smell. They are sooo hard to swallow because the small is extremely strong it lingers on my fingers and mouth. They also make me burp a lot and I can taste the pills all day long. I couldn’t keep taking them after 2 weeks. I would always gag.

It can be hard to tell if a supplement is working as intended. But I took this throughout most of my pregnancy, along with Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega and others, and both me and my baby are doing very well 3 months postpartum. He's reaching all of his milestones early.

I like that this prenatal contains the bioactive form of folate and choline unlike many.

I'm continuing to take it as I breastfeed.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
After getting pregnant with my second, I researched many prenatal vitamins and ultimately decided on these. They have almost all of the ingredients and vitamins a pregnant mama and baby need. However, right off the bat after taking these, I started having really bad acid reflux. I read that it could be the DHA I was also taking, so I stopped that. I quickly realized it was this prenatal after it triggered nausea and vomiting on multiple occasions immediately after taking it. Doc says it’s the extra iron in these pills that can upset the stomach. So just a heads up, don’t make the same mistake I did and take all three pills at once. I’ve started taking one at every meal time and that seems to have helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great prenatal - Will continue to purchase!
Reviewed in Canada on November 3, 2020
This prenatal multi is great! No GI upset and only 3 reasonably sized capsules to take daily. I love everything about this prenatal as it has the correct doses of vitamins/minerals whereas most of the other more well-known prenatals don’t. It is just missing vitamin K2 but it’s easy enough to take it separately.
