Prenatal Vitamins
Select shipping frequency:
To support pre-conception and pregnancy, Kin’s next-gen Prenatal vitamins have been formulated with 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.

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.
