A Prenatal Made Easy

This prenatal once had a 20K person waitlist, and I’m not surprised. I have always hated taking pills or vitamins of any kind – they’re hard to swallow and make me nauseous. I was dreading taking a prenatal vitamin daily until I discovered Ritual. My favorite part about  Ritual’s prenatal that I haven’t found elsewhere is its delayed release capsule design, so it’s gentle on my stomach. These pills are also citrus scented, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of artificial colorants and synthetic fillers – all of this is to say, the brand has made actually taking a prenatal extremely easy.

Even better? What’s inside: 12 bioavailable, clinically studied ingredients in their most absorbable forms. While it is possible to get all the nutrients you need for pregnancy from your diet, it can be difficult to meet your needs through diet alone. Ritual’s prenatal includes Folate, Omega-3 DHA, Vitamin B12, Choline, Iodine, Biotin, Vitamin D3, Iron, Boron, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, and Magnesium. You can learn more about the role each key ingredient plays here.

A Protein Designed With Moms In Mind

Ritual’s Daily Shake Essential Protein was created for real body builders – yes, I’m talking about you, mama! This plant-based protein provides 250mg of Choline per serving, which helps support the increased dietary demands during pregnancy and lactation.* Its formula is soy-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly – plus, it’s formulated without GMOs, stevia, sugar or sugar alcohols, and artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. And, again, it’s incredibly easy to take – it’s vanilla-y and truly delicious in smoothies!

It’s As Simple As…

While I was initially interested in just the prenatal, this simple quiz on Ritual’s site pointed me towards the Essential Duo of the prenatal and the Essential Protein, and I’m so glad I snagged both (plus I even saved 25% with code FALL25 thanks to Ritual’s limited time offer!) Together, they contain 1000mcg DFE Folate, 305mg Choline, 350mg Omega-3 DHA, and 20g Protein. While pregnant mornings can be a serious drag, this duo has kept my routine simple, clean, and – perhaps most importantly – doable. Traceable products made by a mama herself with other new moms in mind – sign me up!
