Vitamin IQ Prenatal Vitamin

Score Feedback

Highlights 

• VitaminIQ provides 200mg TMG (that acts as a secondary methyl donor in the same pathway of choline)
• 50/50 Blend of carotenoids and vitamin A palmitate. The vitamin A addition is very helpful for those that are not getting enough in their diet and have a poor conversion of beta-carotene to vitamin A as seen in the Nutrition Genome Report.
• Sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts – oxidative stress protection, blood sugar balance, brain development, protection from toxins.
• 50mcg (2000IU’s) of vitamin D3 from black olives.
• Correct doses and forms of all B vitamins – too high of a dose of B vitamins and the wrong form can make pregnant women feel anxious and nauseous.
• Chelated minerals for easier digestion and assimilation including 400mg calcium from red algae.
• 300mg iodine from Icelandic Kelp – this was another big change for 2018 FDA DV% that almost doubled.
  400mg of calcium from red algae and aquamin
• 175mg magnesium malate, my favorite form of magnesium.
• 18mg iron
• 70mcg selenium (selenomethione, the best form)
• 15mg zinc bisglycinate

Formulation Improvement and/or Additional Nutrition Needed

• You may need more vitamin D (if tested low)
• You will need EPA and DHA supplementation
• Choline should be in the form of phosphatidylcholine, not choline bitartrate. Always take fish oil with choline bitartrate to reduce TMAO production.
