What is the difference between TheraNatal One and TheraNatal Complete?
TheraNatal One contains only the most essential nutrients for pregnancy, including vitamin D3, methylated folate, iron, iodine, and DHA, in one easy-to-swallow softgel. TheraNatal Complete is our most comprehensive prenatal in three pills per day. It includes everything in TheraNatal One, plus extra vitamin B6, 250 mg of choline, and several other key nutrients for pregnancy.
How is TheraNatal One different from other prenatals?
TheraNatal One is an essential prenatal, delivering the most important nutrients for you and your baby during pregnancy in one easy-to-swallow softgel:
75 mcg (3,000 IU) of vitamin D3 to maintain healthy vitamin D levels during pregnancy
220 mcg of iodine to prevent iodine deficiency in pregnant and non-breastfeeding women
27 mg of iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia and associated tiredness and fatigue
300 mg of DHA
Plus several other key nutrients during pregnancy
TheraNatal One is also independently tested and certified by NSF® International for content accuracy and purity. This means that what’s in the product matches the label, and it’s free of harmful contaminants and undisclosed ingredients. Plus, our fish oil goes through additional testing and certification by the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program to ensure it’s free of mercury, PCBs, and other contaminants commonly found in fish oil.
When you choose TheraNatal One, you don’t just get a prenatal. You get peace of mind.
Can I start taking TheraNatal One before I am pregnant?
Yes. While TheraNatal One is formulated to meet your needs during pregnancy, the nutrient doses in this prenatal are safe to take while you’re trying to conceive, too.
What is the source of DHA in TheraNatal One?
TheraNatal One contains 300 mg of DHA from AlaskOmega®, a highly purified omega-3 fish oil concentrate that’s sustainably sourced from wild-caught Alaska pollock from the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.
Every batch of fish oil in TheraNatal One is also tested and certified by the International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) program to ensure it’s free from harmful contaminants, including mercury, lead, and PCBs. It has continually received the highest rating of five stars from IFOS, which reflects its exceptional quality, purity, and safety.
Can I take TheraNatal One if I'm allergic to shellfish?
TheraNatal One does not contain shellfish.
If you have reacted to radiocontrast material or antiseptics that contain iodine, you may still be able to safely take TheraNatal One, even though it contains iodine. These reactions are commonly confused with a sensitivity to iodine or shellfish, though studies have shown that they are not related.
Can I take TheraNatal One if I’m allergic to fish?
TheraNatal One contains omega-3 fish oil derived from wild-caught Alaska pollock. If you are allergic to fish, TheraNatal One may not be safe for you. Consult your allergist and/or healthcare team.
Can I take other nutritional supplements along with TheraNatal One?
Yes. Certain supplements can be taken along with TheraNatal One. However, we do not recommend taking another multivitamin or prenatal with TheraNatal One. Talk with your healthcare provider to find out if your other supplements can be taken with TheraNatal One.
