What to Look for in Prenatals

  • Methylfolate (5-MTHF) over synthetic folic acid
  • DHA from algae or fish oil for brain development
  • Choline — often missing from prenatal formulas but critical for development
  • Chelated iron for better absorption with less nausea
  • No artificial colors, titanium dioxide, or unnecessary fillers

These guidelines reflect Nour’s evaluation criteria for this category.
