Niacinamide is a non-flushing, active form of vitamin B3 that plays a crucial role in converting food into cellular energy.* It supports brain function, mood balance, and nervous system health.* Unlike niacin, it doesn’t cause skin flushing, making it well-tolerated.* Niacinamide is easily depleted by alcohol, smoking, and certain medications like hormonal contraceptives.* Deficiency can contribute to memory issues, mood disturbances, irritability, and cognitive decline.* Maintaining healthy B3 levels supports mental clarity, emotional stability, and overall energy metabolism.*

Vitamin B6

25 mg
Vitamin B6, as pyridoxine and pyridoxal-5-phosphate, is essential for at least 100 enzymes that help the brain make key neurotransmitters. It helps the body utilize carbohydrates, fats and amino acids derived from proteins. Vitamin B6 aids the conversion of potentially damaging homocysteine into useful antioxidants. It also promotes relaxation and healthy mood. This formula provides the two chemical forms of B6 that are most fully absorbed and utilized.

Folate

1000 mcg
This formula provides folate in its most active form, methylfolate (MTHF), which the body can use immediately—especially important for those with difficulty converting synthetic folic acid.* MTHF supports the brain’s production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, helps generate melatonin for healthy sleep, and is essential for forming myelin, the protective coating around nerve cells.* It also aids in processing homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct that can be harmful at high levels.* Methylfolate supports mood, cognitive function, and overall neurological and cardiovascular health.*

Vitamin B12

500 mcg
Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.* It supports energy production, healthy red blood cells, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters that influence mood and cognition.* This formula uses methylcobalamin (MeB12), the bioactive form of B12 that’s readily absorbed and used by the body—unlike the more common cyanocobalamin, which contains trace amounts of cyanide.* Adequate B12 levels are associated with improved mood, mental clarity, memory, and emotional balance.*

Biotin

500 mcg
Biotin (vitamin B7) is essential for maintaining healthy DNA structure and regulating gene activity through epigenetics, which influences how genes are expressed.* It is a key component of enzymes in the mitochondria—the cell’s energy factories—helping convert food into usable energy.* Biotin supports the healthy growth and repair of the brain, skin, hair, and nails, making it vital for overall cellular health and development.* Regular biotin intake promotes vitality, energy, and the body’s natural ability to renew itself.*

Pantothenic Acid

75 mg
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is essential for producing energy by helping convert food into fuel.* It supports the brain’s ability to create amino acids, proteins, and hormones, and aids in converting fats into vital fatty acids.* Additionally, it’s crucial for building and maintaining healthy cell membranes.* A deficiency in B5 can lead to nerve damage by impairing the protective insulation (myelin) around nerve cells, which can negatively affect mental clarity and overall brain function.* Adequate B5 supports energy, cognitive health, and nervous system resilience.*

Calcium

50 mg
Calcium is essential for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth, supporting their structure and strength throughout life.* Beyond bone health, calcium plays a vital role in muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and blood clotting.* It works closely with magnesium to regulate these processes and maintain balanced mineral levels in the body.* Together, calcium and magnesium support heart health, muscle function, and overall cellular communication, making calcium crucial for both skeletal strength and overall wellness.*

Iodine

150 mcg
Iodine is a vital mineral needed by the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine and other thyroid hormones.* These hormones regulate metabolism, energy levels, and support the healthy development of the brain and other organs—especially during growth.* Adequate iodine ensures that the body’s systems function efficiently, influencing everything from mental focus to overall activity and metabolic rate.* Maintaining proper iodine levels is key for balanced hormone production and optimal health.*

Magnesium

60 mg
Magnesium is a vital mineral needed by every cell in the body, especially for the brain’s nerve cells to communicate effectively.* It supports the electrical signals that allow neurons to connect and process information.* Often called “the relaxation mineral,” magnesium helps regulate muscle tension, hydration, and energy production.* It also balances stress hormones like adrenaline and improves sleep quality.* By promoting calmness and mental focus, magnesium plays a key role in supporting emotional well-being, cognitive function, and overall physical health.*

Zinc

30 mg
Zinc is an essential mineral involved in over 100 enzymes that support vital processes in the body.* It plays a key role in the healthy development and function of the eyes, brain, spinal cord, thymus gland, and digestive system.* Zinc is crucial for maintaining strong immunity, repairing and renewing skin and hair, and preserving DNA structure.* By supporting these systems, zinc promotes overall growth, healing, and resilience, making it vital for both physical health and immune defense.*

Selenium

105 mcg
Selenium is a vital mineral that supports at least 25 proteins and enzymes involved in gene regulation, protein synthesis, and communication between cells.* It plays an important role in muscle development and the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism.* Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant, helping protect the body from free radical damage and supporting the immune system’s defense against infections.* By promoting cellular health and hormone balance, selenium contributes to overall well-being and resilience.*

Manganese

2 mg
Manganese is an essential mineral that supports the antioxidant enzyme SOD2, which protects mitochondria—the cell’s energy centers—from damaging free radicals.* It plays a vital role in metabolizing cholesterol, carbohydrates, and amino acids, helping the body efficiently produce energy and maintain healthy metabolic functions.* By reducing oxidative stress and supporting nutrient metabolism, manganese promotes overall cellular health, energy production, and protection against age-related damage.*

Chromium

500 mcg
Chromium is a trace mineral that plays a key role in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels by enhancing the action of insulin, the hormone that regulates glucose uptake into cells.* By supporting balanced blood sugar, chromium helps sustain steady energy throughout the day and may reduce sugar cravings.* Additionally, chromium contributes to mood stability by supporting brain function and preventing the energy dips that can affect emotional well-being.* Overall, chromium promotes metabolic health and helps maintain a balanced, positive mood.*

Molybdenum

75 mcg
Molybdenum is an essential mineral that supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.* It activates at least five key enzymes that help neutralize harmful substances like sulfites and bisulfites—common preservatives found in foods, wines, vinegars, and some medical products.* By aiding in the breakdown and removal of these toxins, molybdenum helps protect cells from damage, supports liver function, and promotes overall metabolic health and resilience against environmental pollutants.*

Potassium

70 mg
Potassium is an essential electrolyte that helps maintain the body’s fluid and electrical balance, supporting nerve signaling, muscle function, and heart rhythm.* It works closely with sodium to regulate blood pressure especially important during pregnancy to support the mother’s cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of complications.* Potassium also helps balance pH levels and ensures nutrients move properly into cells.* Adequate intake supports overall hydration, energy levels, and healthy development for both mother and baby during pregnancy.*

Reviews

Smart Prenatal

"I love that this product includes a lot of vitamins and minerals not found in other brands. I had trouble with keeping this vitamin down during the first trimester while dealing with nausea and vomiting, but was able to go back on it during my second and third trimesters."

— Ashley B. (5/5)

Favorite prenatals

"I have used these before during and after the pregnancy and birth of my third baby. I trust this brand because it uses the proper type of folic acid (studies are showing the wrong kind can give tongue ties, etc) and it doesn’t add in iron which is good bc iron can’t be taken with alot of different vitamins or they will inhibit eachother. I just bought their iron supplement additionally and took at a different time. My baby is so healthy and I remained healthy when my older kids would get sick-I attribute it to all the months I was on these good vitamins that aren’t filled with junk!"

— courtney h. (5/5)

The best prenatal vitamins

"I tried a few before this brand and immediately noticed a difference. Easy yo swallow, gave me energy and brain good for my growing baby. Even afterbirth I am still using them."

— Elisa (5/5)

Great

"Very happy with the ingredients compared to what my doctor tried to prescribe, more peace of mind for me and my baby."

— Sarina V. (5/5)

Good product

"Quality product. Simple to use."

— Ryan B. (5/5)

I recommend this to all moms

"I started taking these prenatal vitamins when pregnant with my 2nd child. She is so much more calm than my first baby and has always been healthier. She's also now the same height and weight of her older brother even though he is 2 years older (ages 6 and 8). She has always been off the charts in her growth and I think it's because of the nutrients she received from the vitamins because she eats so much less than her brother."

— Sarah V. (5/5)

Took these during my 2nd pregnancy and 2nd child was much calmer and healthier

"I have Celiac Disease and have always had problems with malabsorption and losing weight quickly. I took these prenatals (and the Omega 3s) during my 2nd pregnancy and feel that, along with diet changes that healed my gut, my 2nd child is much healthier than my first. They were much easier for me to tolerate during pregnancy than the Nature's Made prenatal that I tried taking during my 1st pregnancy. I have taken these for the last 7 years and don't plan on stopping any time soon."

— Sarah V. (5/5)

Best prenatal vitamins

"I love these prenatal vitamins, they’re so complete and the best part is that they’re really easy to digest. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon after eating, and that has made it way easier to get through the 4 daily pills. These are the best!"

— Joel M. (5/5)

Prenatals

"Love these. I do not feel sick after taking them and I have noticed a difference in my energy as well."

— Delisha C. (5/5)

Great!

"I’ve been taking this for almost 5 years now, through both my pregnancies, postpartum, and breast feeding. Both pregnancies and babies were healthy, and my blood work looks great. Would recommend"

— Abby (5/5)
