HOW TO USE

Three Capsules. Every Day. With Food.

Take 3 capsules daily with food or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Steady Support, Built Over Time.

Basic Prenatal provides foundational nutrition, so taking it consistently every day matters more than any immediate effect. Some people notice changes in a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use.*

Ideally, start before conception: nutrients like active folate are important from the very beginning of pregnancy. Many women continue through nursing.

Taking your capsules with food helps keep them comfortable on the stomach. Talk with your health-care provider about the right prenatal plan for you.

WHAT SETS IT APART

Active Nutrients. Clean Formula.

Every serving uses highly bioavailable nutrient forms, chosen because better absorption means less stomach upset.*

  • Active folate: 1,000 mcg as 5-MTHF (1.7 mg DFE), plus vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin
  • Gentle iron: 45 mg as ferrous bisglycinate chelate
  • Choline included: 110 mg as choline citrate for baby's brain development*
  • Chelated minerals: Zinc, magnesium, copper, manganese, and more in well-absorbed forms

WHY CLINICA CABRERA RECOMMENDS Thorne

A Prenatal We Can Stand Behind.

Clinica Cabrera recommends Thorne Basic Prenatal because it delivers what a prenatal should: active folate, choline, and gentle iron in highly absorbable forms, in a formula designed to be easy on the stomach.

Quality matters even more during pregnancy. Thorne tests every ingredient for identity, purity, and potency, including screening for heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes, and Basic Prenatal carries the NSF Certified for Sport® designation for added independent assurance.

It's a dependable daily foundation for women from pre-conception through nursing.

WARNINGS & SAFETY

ALLERGY WARNING

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Iodine may occasionally cause an allergic reaction in some individuals.

PREGNANCY

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

INTERACTIONS

As vitamin K interferes with the effect of anticoagulant drugs (like Coumadin), the concurrent use of these agents should be avoided.

5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

Vitamin C can cause diarrhea in some individuals in large doses, which can vary from person to person and resolves when the amount is reduced.

Does Basic Prenatal contain folic acid or folate?

Is Basic Prenatal a methylated multivitamin?

Yes. Basic Prenatal contains the methylated forms of folate (5-MTHF) and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin).

Why are some nutrients above 100% of the Daily Value?

Some nutrients are included at amounts above 100% of the Daily Value to help meet the increased demands of pregnancy and nursing.*

When should I start taking a prenatal?

Ideally before conception. Nutrients like active folate are important from the very beginning of pregnancy, so many women start a prenatal while trying to conceive and continue through nursing. Your health-care provider can advise on the best timing for you.

Is Basic Prenatal gentle on the stomach?

Yes. It's formulated with highly bioavailable nutrients and gentle chelated iron, because better absorption means less stomach upset and constipation, and it's made without the coatings found in many prenatals. Taking it with food also helps.
