An essential for pre-conception and pregnancy, Kin’s next-gen prenatal vitamins have been designed with 12 highly bioavailable ingredients to help you meet your nutritional needs during those crucial development stages.
Because 1 in 3 people have trouble absorbing folic acid due to a common genetic variant, our Prenatal contains activated methylated folate, which can be used by absolutely everyone and is necessary for early neural development.
Unlike traditional vitamins, Kin's Prenatal includes low-constipation iron for blood health, omega-3 for brain and retinal growth, and choline for brain and liver function.
After selling out twice, Australia’s most-loved prenatal vitamin is now back in stock, ready to support both you and your baby on the journey ahead.

Proudly side effect free
Finally, a prenatal that actually makes you feel good.
Other prenatals might use Ferrous Sulfate, which is known to cause constipation, gut irritation and nausea. We use iron bisglycinate or Ferrochel®, which is carried unaffected through the intestine directly to the target tissues.
This unpleasant side effect is caused by poorly processed, low-quality fish oils. The Kin Prenatal only uses a high quality, concentrated type of fish oil with a standardised quantity of DHA and EPA, and low mercury levels.
Thank you Kin this puts a new Mumma to be at ease x
I found Kinf fertility off Facebook. I was skeptical but desperate. So I bought it and tried. It's soft and easy on my gut. no more constipation. Also tasteless, which was a big thing for me.

12 essential ingredients

Most supplements use Folic Acid as the key ingredients. However, studies have shown that approx. 1 in 3 people struggle to convert folic acid due to a common gene variant (the MTHFR-gene).
Kin's Prenatal is different. We use Methylated Folate (on the label as Levomefolate Calcium). This is the same Folate that's naturally found in your body. It's more bioavailable than Folic Acid and can be well absorbed by your body.


This becomes especially important during the later stages of pregnancy, as baby’s brain is rapidly developing.
Unfortunately, the two most important types of Omega-3s (DHA and EPA) can’t be synthesised in the body, and need to be sought from our diets.
You can do this by eating huge amounts of low-mercury fish, but it’s much easier to control your Omega-3 intake with a supplement.
We’ve used a common, easily digestible fish oil that contains slightly higher levels of DHA, as this is specifically crucial for baby’s developing brain and retinas.


With Folate, it helps to synthesise DNA and red blood cells, maintaining rapid foetal growth, and helps metabolise carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to boost energy levels at a cellular level.
This also helps reduce the risk of birth defects.
We’ve used a synthetic form of B12 called Cyanocobalamin as it is a highly stable ingredient.


Studies have shown that approximately 38% of all pregnant women suffer from anaemia, with Iron-deficient anaemia being the most prevalent.
That’s massive.
Especially when you consider that your body needs 150% more iron when pregnant. If you are iron deficient prior to conception you may need up to 200% the amount of the recommended daily intake of iron.
We’ve used Ferrochel™️, a patented form of Iron that is easily carried unaffected through the intestine and into the target tissues. And, unlike many other iron supplements on the market, this one won’t make you constipated.


The catch is, the body doesn’t make quite enough Choline unassisted—we rely on getting more from foods such as eggs, salmon, and brussels sprouts.
And during pregnancy, it’s considered essential, especially towards the third trimester, when the baby's brain and neural development accelerates the most. It also boosts liver function.
Kin’s Prenatal contains Choline in the bitartrate salt form, which is a stable, easily bioavailable form of Choline–the same form of Choline found in healthy foods, and easier for your body to utilise than pure Choline.


That’s because Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, is vital for gene expression (turning a gene on or off).
When you’re growing another human, you’re creating new cells at a rapid rate making functioning gene expression vital.
Biotin also helps metabolise carbohydrates, protein, and fats, creating more energy during a time your body needs it.
Studies have shown that Biotin status decreases in the body during pregnancy, making it an important ingredient in a daily prenatal supplement for healthy foetal development.


But the role it plays during a pregnancy is vital.
Iodine is an essential nutrient required for the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones, (the ones responsible for regulating baby's growth, nervous system development and metabolism).
We’ve used Potassium Iodine because it’s more easily absorbed, and is one of the easiest ways to support the 50% increase in Iodine that your body needs during pregnancy.


We’re using Zinc Citrate. It’s a bit more expensive than the commonly used Zinc Oxide, but it’s much more easily absorbed into your body.


It’s also crucial for normal blood clotting to reduce the risk of Haemorrhages (both maternal and foetal).
Transport of Vitamin K across the placenta is quite poor, so daily supplementation is key to ensure there is an adequate supply being fed to the baby.
Vitamin K comes in various forms: we’ve chosen Vitamin K2 in the form of Menanquinone-7— one of the most clinically validated forms of Vitamin K.


Simply put, Vitamin B6 has been shown to drastically reduce nausea in pregnant women (i.e. morning sickness).
These symptoms are especially prevalent during the first trimester.
It comes in the form of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, which is readily water soluble and easily absorbed by the body.


Vitamin D is important because it helps the body absorb magnesium and calcium.
This is important at all stages of pregnancy, but especially during the second and third trimester when baby is growing strong bones.
We’ve added it in the form of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), which is the same bioavailable form that is made naturally in the body when skin is exposed to sunlight.


Alongside Calcium, it also plays an important role in the development of a baby's bone structure in the second trimester of pregnancy.
But it’s during the third trimester that you really need it supplemented: baby grows so much that it can take the majority of your magnesium stores.
We use Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate for its excellent bioavailability. It’s also gentle on the stomach.

Why we don't use
folic acid
Folic Acid
That’s how many of us can’t easily absorb folic acid due to a common genetic variance.
So why, then, do most prenatal supplements still use it?
Because it’s cheap and readily available.
Folic Acid vs. Methylated Folate
(5-MTHF)

(5-MTHF)
(5-MTHF)
Methylated Folate
Everybody can absorb methylfolate, and it doesn’t come with the same nasty side-effects some women experience from most prenatal supplements.
The Kin Prenatal is different

The form of each ingredient matters due to ‘bioavailability’, so we use only bioavailable ingredients that every body can benefit from.
You get only high quality ingredients in the ideal amounts, and never too much. It’s how we save you from nasty side effects.
We care about your baby’s future in more ways than one. When you subscribe to The Prenatal, we’ll send recyclable sachets to refill your jar.

How often should I take The Prenatal?
Are the capsules easy to swallow?
When should I start taking a Prenatal supplement?
In the first 28 days, some of their most important organs begin to form, such as the heart and neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord. As most women don’t find out they’re pregnant until around 4-8 weeks, it’s important that your body is ready to support the baby, before you even know they are there.
How long should you take prenatal vitamins for?
After you’ve welcomed your baby into the world, you should then switch to a postnatal vitamin to help you meet your nutritional needs and address symptoms of postnatal depletion, like fatigue brain fog, and hair loss. Kin’s Postnatal Vitamins have been designed with 18 highly available essential ingredients, to help new mums recover and restore when they need the support most.
Can you take prenatal supplements if you’re not pregnant?
Many healthy pregnancies are unintended, and by the time many mums-to-be find out they’re pregnant, most of the available benefits of a prenatal could have been vastly beneficial (especially the baby’s neural development).
Is it OK to switch prenatal vitamin brands?
