The Problem
Most prenatals miss the gut.
Standard prenatals are over-stuffed with poorly-absorbed nutrients and ignore the gut. Essentials is engineered with active folate, gentle iron, and pregnancy-safe probiotics — bioavailability that matters for you and your baby.
Morning sickness and nausea that wreck early pregnancy.
Constipation and gut imbalance through trimesters.
Generic prenatals with poorly absorbed nutrients.
Missing key actives like choline and iodine for baby's brain.
The Solution
Meet PregBiotics™ Essentials.
Folic Acid + iron + complete B-complex, magnesium, choline, iodine + Myo-Inositol — paired with our 16-strain MEP probiotic blend. The complete daily prenatal — engineered for all three trimesters.
Folic Acid 400µg (200% DV) — for healthy neural-tube development.
Iron 17mg + Full B-Complex — energy, mood, blood-volume support.
16-strain MEP Blend (1 billion CFUs) — ease morning sickness, support digestion.
Velobiotics™ MEP technology — 1000× more reach you alive.

Questions Before You Start
Is Essentials safe in the first trimester? +
Yes. Essentials is formulated for all three trimesters. Always check with your OB before starting any new supplement during pregnancy.
Will this help with morning sickness? +
Many mums report easier mornings within 1-2 weeks. The pregnancy-safe probiotics calm the gut and the B-complex stabilises mood.
What's the difference between Essentials and Breastfeeding? +

Can I take this with my OB-prescribed prenatal? +
