1st Trimester Prenatal Pack

Perelel includes 1,525mcg DFE methylfolate (5-MTHF) — the active, bioavailable form — at the dose selected to support neural tube closure during weeks 5–6, in line with CDC and ACOG folate recommendations.*

Perelel includes 120mg choline as VitaCholine® — the first choline source clinically studied for bioavailability in pregnancy — to support early fetal brain development.*

Perelel includes 16mg iron as Ferrochel® (ferrous bisglycinate chelate) — a chelated form clinically studied for superior absorption and gentler digestion — to support the blood volume expansion of pregnancy.*

Perelel includes 150mcg iodine as potassium iodide — the amount recommended by the American Thyroid Association, Endocrine Society, and AAP — to support thyroid and neurocognitive development.*

Perelel includes 2,000 IU (50mcg) vitamin D as cholecalciferol — the dose recommended by the Endocrine Society — to support calcium absorption and fetal bone development.*

Perelel includes 500mcg RAE vitamin A as beta-carotene, a pregnancy-safe precursor form within the safety margin set by UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)— to support eye, immune, and organ development.*

Perelel includes 50mg vitamin C as ascorbic acid — within Health Canada's approved range for immune-support — to help maintain normal immune function during pregnancy.*

Perelel includes 10mg vitamin E as d-alpha-tocopherol, the natural form the body preferentially retains — providing 53% of the daily value to protect cells from oxidative stress.*

Perelel includes 3mg thiamin (B1) as thiamin hydrochloride — 214% of the daily value — to support the increased energy metabolism demands of pregnancy.* Needs increase above baseline during pregnancy to support the mother's expanding energy requirements and fetal development.

Perelel includes 3mg riboflavin (B2) as riboflavin 5'-phosphate, the active bioavailable form — providing 188% of the daily value to support energy metabolism and fetal growth.* Like other B vitamins, riboflavin needs increase nearly 27% during pregnancy to support increased maternal metabolic activity.

Perelel includes 15mg NE niacin (B3) as niacinamide, a non-flushing form — providing 83% of the daily value to support cellular energy metabolism during pregnancy.*

Perelel includes 2.4mcg vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, the active form the body uses directly — providing 86% of the daily value to support red blood cell formation and neurological development.* Because this is found almost exclusively in animal products, those on plant-forward diets are especially likely to fall short.

Perelel includes 6mg pantothenic acid (B5) as d-calcium pantothenate — providing 86% of the daily value to support hormone and energy metabolism during pregnancy.* Like other B vitamins, it isn't stored in meaningful amounts, so ongoing intake matters.

Perelel includes 11mg zinc as zinc bisglycinate chelate, a highly-absorbable chelated form — providing 85% of the daily value to help maintain normal immune function.* The RDA for zinc increases to 12mg during pregnancy, yet 21.5% of pregnant women fall short of estimated needs from food alone, and nearly 11% still fall short with supplementation.

Perelel includes 50mcg selenium as L-selenomethionine, a well-absorbed amino-acid-bound form — providing 71% of the daily value to support thyroid and antioxidant function.* Selenium is concentrated in a narrow range of foods, like brazil nuts, making dietary intake inconsistent.

Perelel includes 1mg copper as copper bisglycinate chelate, a chelated form for improved absorption — providing 77% of the daily value to support iron utilization and tissue development.*

Perelel includes 30mcg chromium as chromium nicotinate glycinate chelate — providing 67% of the daily value to support normal carbohydrate and macronutrient metabolism.*

Perelel includes 30mcg vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the longer-acting form — to work alongside vitamin D in directing calcium to support healthy bone development.* Vitamin K2 is far less common in the Western diet than vitamin K1, found mainly in fermented foods that aren't dietary staples for most people.

Perelel includes 30mg of magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate chelate, an optimally absorbed form that helps relax both smooth and skeletal muscle, and contributes to healthy nervous system function. *

Perelel includes 1mg boron as bororganic glycine, in trace form — to complement vitamin D and magnesium in this formula.*

Perelel includes 25mg vitamin B6 — 28mg total daily with the core prenatal — at a dose studied in placebo-controlled trials evaluating nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.* Morning sickness, particularly in the 1st trimester, can make it difficult to eat consistently, right when nutrient needs are rising.

300mg ginger root powder per serving, at a dose within the range studied in peer-reviewed RCTs during pregnancy. ACOG recommends ginger as a nonpharmacological treatment for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. It’s traditionally used to support digestive comfort and relieve occasional nausea.*

Perelel includes 250mg DHA + 100mg EPA in triglyceride form — the higher-bioavailability format — at a dose consistent with ACOG recommendations for fetal brain and eye development.*
