Doctor Life / 01

Pure Prenatal

Made for your daily routine.

Folate has an especially important role during pregnancy. It supports maternal tissue growth, normal blood formation, homocysteine metabolism, immune function, and cell division. L-5-MTHF is a biologically active form of folate that the body can use directly in processes requiring vitamin B9.

This straightforward vegan formula is taken with a meal. It can be part of an individually planned prenatal routine when a specific source of folate is needed without duplicating several vitamins and minerals. Consult your prenatal care provider before use during pregnancy.

Why is folate important during pregnancy?

The first weeks of embryonic development involve rapid cell division and tissue formation. Folate supports these processes, maternal tissue growth, and normal blood formation. Supplemental folic acid increases maternal folate status, and low maternal folate status is a risk factor for neural tube defects in the developing baby. Adequate intake is therefore important before conception and in early pregnancy, following your care provider's individual advice.

What research informs Pure Prenatal?

Folic acid supplementation before conception and in early pregnancy is well established in prenatal nutrition research, including its role in reducing the risk of neural tube defects. Separate studies of L-5-MTHF in women of reproductive age have found that it increases red blood cell folate levels, with results at least comparable to folic acid in direct comparisons. These folate-status findings informed the choice of active folate in Pure Prenatal; they should not be treated as direct evidence that this finished product prevents birth defects.

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

These publications examine the importance of folate around conception and the performance of L-5-MTHF in building folate stores in women of reproductive age.

01Red blood cell folate concentrations increase more after supplementation with [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate than with folic acid in women of childbearing age

Jutta Lamers et al.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2006), 84(1), 156-161. DOI: 10.1093/ajcn/84.1.156; PMID: 16825690.

In a randomized study in women of reproductive age, L-5-MTHF effectively increased red blood cell folate levels, with a greater increase than an equivalent amount of folic acid. The findings support the interest in this active folate form for building folate status.

02Effects and safety of periconceptional oral folate supplementation for preventing birth defects

Luz Maria De-Regil et al.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2015), CD007950. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD007950.pub3; PMID: 26662928.

This review confirmed that folate supplementation before conception and in early pregnancy substantially reduces the risk of neural tube defects. It is a key reason why adequate folate intake matters when preparing for pregnancy.

03Prevention of neural tube defects: results of the Medical Research Council Vitamin Study

Medical Research Council Vitamin Study Research Group

The Lancet (1991), 338(8760), 131-137. DOI: 10.1016/0140-6736(91)90133-A; PMID: 1677062.

This landmark randomized study demonstrated the protective role of folic acid supplementation in preventing recurrent neural tube defects. It became a foundation for current recommendations on folate before and during early pregnancy.

FAQ / Pure Prenatal

Good questions. Clear answers.

Talk to us ↗

How does L-5-MTHF differ from folic acid?

L-5-MTHF is a biologically active form of folate that can participate directly in processes requiring vitamin B9. Folic acid first needs to be converted by the body. Pure Prenatal uses L-5-MTHF as its single source of folate.

Does 800 µg mean 800 µg of folic acid?

One capsule provides 800 µg of folate as L-5-MTHF calcium L-methylfolate, equal to 400% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value. Share your full supplement list with your care provider before use so you do not duplicate folate from another prenatal product.

Why consider folate before pregnancy?

The neural tube develops and closes very early, often before someone knows they are pregnant. Folate recommendations therefore cover the period before conception as well as early pregnancy. Your care provider can advise on the right amount and when to start.

Is Pure Prenatal a complete prenatal multivitamin?

No. It is a single-nutrient supplement providing folate in an active form. It may suit a routine in which your care provider recommends folate separately or selects individual supplements instead of a comprehensive prenatal multivitamin.

Can I take it with another prenatal supplement?

First check the folate content of every product you use. Many prenatal multivitamins already contain folate, so combining them may unnecessarily increase your total intake. Review your full supplement routine with your prenatal care provider or pharmacist.

How do I take Pure Prenatal, and how long does a bottle last?

During pregnancy, take one capsule daily with a meal after consulting your care provider. Each bottle contains 90 capsules, providing a 90-day supply at the recommended serving. Do not exceed the recommended daily serving.

Is the capsule suitable for vegans?

Yes. The capsule shell is made from pullulan, making it suitable for a vegan diet. You should still consult your prenatal care provider before taking supplements during pregnancy.
