Prenatal Vitamins
Select shipping frequency:
To support pre-conception and pregnancy, Kin’s next-gen Prenatal vitamins have been formulated with 12 highly bioavailable ingredients to help you meet your nutritional needs during those crucial development stages.
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.
Because 1 in 3 people have trouble absorbing folic acid due to a common genetic variant, our prenatal vitamin contains activated methylated folate, which can be used by absolutely everyone and supports early neural development.
Kin's Prenatal includes iron, omega-3 for foetal brain growth, and levomefolic acid for healthy foetal development.
Directions
Nutritional experts recommend taking prenatal vitamins around 3 months before starting to try for a family. Take 2 tablets daily, with water, after food, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Storage
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Do not use if the seal on the lid has been broken or is missing.
Warnings
Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Advise your doctor of any medicine you take during pregnancy, particularly in your first trimester.


We use iron bisglycinate or Ferrochel(R), which is carried unaffected through the intestine directly to the target tissues.
The Kin Prenatal uses a high quality, concentrated type of fish oil with a standardised quantity of DHA and EPA, and low mercury levels.

12 high quality ingredients

Studies have shown that approx. 1 in 3 people struggle to convert folic acid due to a common gene variant (the MTHFR-gene).
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.


We’ve used a common, easily digestible fish oil that contains slightly higher levels of DHA, as this supports the baby’s developing brain.


With Folate, it helps support healthy foetal development.
This also helps support healthy foetal development.
We’ve used a synthetic form of B12 called Cyanocobalamin as it is a highly stable ingredient.


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.


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 is needed, especially towards the third trimester, when the baby's brain and neural development accelerates the most.
Kin’s Prenatal contains Choline in the bitartrate salt form, which is a stable, easily bioavailable form of Choline.




Iodine supports the baby's growth, nervous system and brain development.
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.


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.


We added this in to help you maintain Vitamin B6 levels within normal range.
Our Vitamin B6 comes in the form of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, which is readily water soluble and easily absorbed by the body.


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.


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.

Questions?
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 bioavailable 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?
Warning: Vitamin and/or mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet. If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.
