Prena1 With Quatrefolic
BocaGreenMD
Overview
Prena1 With Quatrefolic provides a comprehensive blend of essential prenatal nutrients, with a particular strength in its use of Quatrefolic for enhanced folate absorption. The formula generally offers suitable doses of key vitamins and minerals vital during pregnancy and lactation, including DHA for fetal development. However, the use of both Quatrefolic and standard folic acid could be redundant or potentially problematic for specific individuals.
The Good
Optimal Folate Form for Genetic Variations: Contains Quatrefolic, a highly bioavailable form of folate, bypassing potential MTHFR enzyme issues for improved absorption and utilization.
Comprehensive Prenatal Nutrition: Delivers a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals specifically tailored for pregnant and nursing women.
Supports Fetal Brain and Eye Development: Includes 200mg of DHA, vital for neurological and visual development in the fetus.
The Bad
High Iron Dosage Risk: High iron content (30mg) requires strict adherence to dosage due to the warning about fatal poisoning in children, and may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Excessive Vitamin B6: The 25mg dosage of Vitamin B6 is significantly above physiological needs (1000% DV), potentially leading to nerve damage with long-term high dose use.
Potential Overlap in Folate Forms: Contains both Quatrefolic and Folic Acid, which while totaling a safe amount, may be redundant and simpler with just the active form.
