Iron is iron bisglycinate, a chelated form bound to glycine. Vitamin B12 is methylcobalamin and vitamin B6 is pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P), both active forms. Zinc, copper and manganese are bisglycinates too, and selenium is selenomethionine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat else is inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula lists 25 medicinal ingredients. Alongside the B vitamins, folate and iron, it includes calcium and magnesium citrate malate, iodine, choline, vitamin D3, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin A with beta-carotene, vitamin K1, chromium, boron and biotin. The non-medicinal list is short: a plant-based capsule shell, microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-source magnesium stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy three capsules a day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplitting the dose into 3 capsules keeps each one a manageable size, and it lets you spread the nutrients across the day with meals. If swallowing large tablets has been a problem with other prenatals, this format is easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule 3 times a day. The full label cautions are under How to Take: consult a practitioner first if you have a liver disorder or take blood thinners. Keep it out of reach of children. There is enough iron in this package to seriously harm a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrganika Essential Prenatal FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it contain folic acid or methylfolate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethylfolate, listed on the label as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, calcium salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I start taking it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe licence describes daily use at least three months before becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy for neural tube support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30 days.
