Basic Prenatal 90c by Thorne – Maternal Nutrition Prenatal Multivitamin
Thorne Basic Prenatal is a prenatal multivitamin in capsule form for women preparing for pregnancy, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. Its combination includes active folate, choline citrate, and chelated iron to support maternal nutrition alongside a balanced diet.
Key Basic Prenatal 90c Benefits
- Supports maternal nutrition before conception, throughout pregnancy, and during nursing with a broad combination of vitamins and minerals.
- Provides folate for normal cell division, an essential process as maternal and fetal tissues grow.
- Supplies iron for oxygen transport and choline for cell membranes and nervous system development.
- Includes vitamin D to help the body absorb calcium and maintain healthy bones.
How Basic Prenatal 90c Works
Pregnancy increases the nutritional resources needed to build new tissue and support an expanding blood supply. This formula provides nutrients that participate in those everyday processes: folate helps cells make genetic material, iron becomes part of oxygen-carrying proteins, and choline supplies building blocks for cell membranes. Vitamin D helps make dietary calcium available for bone maintenance.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Folate: Supports the production of DNA, the instructions cells copy when they divide. Folate also helps the body recycle homocysteine into methionine, an amino acid used in normal metabolism. Basic Prenatal supplies L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, an active form of this vitamin, to complement dietary folate.
- Choline: Provides material for phospholipids, the fats that form cell membranes, and for acetylcholine, a chemical messenger used by nerves. These roles make choline important for normal brain and nervous system development. This formula contributes choline but does not replace choline-rich foods.
- Iron: Helps make hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. This role becomes especially important as blood volume increases during pregnancy. Basic Prenatal supplies ferrous bisglycinate; the need for supplemental iron should be assessed individually by a healthcare practitioner.
- Vitamin D: Helps the intestine absorb calcium and supports the normal balance of minerals used to build and maintain bone. The body activates vitamin D3 through processing in the liver and kidneys. Its inclusion complements the calcium in this formula and calcium obtained from food.
Basic Prenatal 90c Is Formulated For
- Women preparing for pregnancy who want practitioner-guided prenatal nutritional support.
- Pregnant women and nursing mothers whose practitioner recommends a multivitamin with iron, active folate, and choline.

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.
TAMPER EVIDENT: Use only if bottle is sealed.

Basic Prenatal supplies folate for DNA production and normal cell division, iron for oxygen-carrying hemoglobin, and choline for cell membranes and nerve communication. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption. These complementary nutritional roles support maternal health, but this supplement is not a complete source of every nutrient needed during pregnancy or nursing.
