500mcg methyl folate & 550mg choline
We know how important optimal doses of choline and folate are, but that doesn’t mean we’ve compromised on other key ingredients.
The Prenatal features high-dose activated B vitamins, the powerhouse duo of iodine and selenium, and Aquamin F, a natural mineral source derived from red marine algae, sustainably harvested from the pristine waters of the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Iceland. This natural mineral provides a rich source of bioavailable calcium and 72 other trace minerals.
The prenatal is formulated to support you through every season of motherhood.
US vs Others
We take pride in our evidence-based formulations, featuring premium, highly absorbable vitamins and minerals. See how we compare:
Only so much can fit into 1-2 capsules so we added an extra capsule for more tailored dosages.
Bioavailable ingredients
Forms that you actually absorb and are gentle on the body. Did you know some synthetic forms can increase the risk of constipation and nausea?
Australian Owned & Manufactured
Manufactured in QLD, Australia. Registered through the ARTG (TGA).
THIRD PARTY TESTED
Third-party testing is conducted on the prenatal as part of the TGA manufacturing process to ensure the highest quality ingredients and standards.
every Season
Formulated to be taken throughout all seasons of motherhood - preconception, pregnancy and postpartum.
We’ve redefined the prenatal standard because 1-2 capsules only have so much room
What form of folate does your prenatal contain?
Folic acid is a synthetic vitamin.
We choose Quatrefolic (methylated folate) to ensure our prenatal contains the most optimal and bioavailable form. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the active form of folate naturally found in the bloodstream. Unlike other forms of folate, it doesn’t require enzymatic conversion and can be immediately utilised by the body.
Practitioner Formulated Prenatal Loved By Thousands
Your Choline, Fully Covered
Most prenatals skip or under dose choline - yet it’s essential for baby’s brain and placental health. We’ve included the full 550mg in one of the most researched forms (VitaCholine®), in line with Australian RDI's for pregnancy & breastfeeding.
Methyl Folate | No Conversion Needed
We use methyl folate (5-MTHF) the biologically active form of folate your body can use straight away. It bypasses the need for enzymatic conversion.
Iron Free | Designed Smarter
Iron needs aren’t one size fits all. Putting a fixed dose in a prenatal risks being too little for some, and too much for others. Excess iron can inhibit zinc + calcium absorption and increase the risk of constipation. That’s why we leave it out, so you and your practitioner can tailor iron to your needs.
One Prenatal, For Every Stage
Formulated to support you from preconception through pregnancy and postpartum so you don’t need to switch or compromise along the way.
Ingredients Your Body Actually Absorbs
We choose bioavailable, active nutrients your body can recognise and absorb - not cheap synthetic forms that often pass straight through. Better absorption = better support for you and your baby.
3 Capsules a Day = Smarter Nutrition
1-2 capsules can only fit so much. We’ve redefined the standard. By allowing 3 capsules per day, there’s room for meaningful dosages so every nutrient is delivered in the amount that actually makes a difference.
Thyroid Support That Matters
Formulated with 270 mcg of iodine and 100 mcg of selenium - clinically optimised dosages to aid healthy thyroid hormone production and support thyroid gland function.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 856 reviews.
I struggled with low energy and feeling drained and depleted while breastfeeding my first two children, and knew that didn't have to be normal. When I came across the Prenatal it looked like it could be just the solution I needed, so I started taking it in the lead up to my third baby's birth. I am now 7 months postpartum and I've been truly amazed by the difference it has made. Despite the sleep-deprivation and the big demands of breastfeeding and caring for three little ones, my energy levels have been great! If we have another baby I plan to take the Prenatal through pregnancy as well and see what difference it makes! I am so thankful for this discovery, and I highly recommend it!
I absolutely love all the products from Maternally Happy. Everything I’ve tried has been great. I also love how much research they’ve put into their products and the helpful resources they provide on their website and via email. Such a great brand.
Store owner replied:
Love that those two nutrients stood out to you 💜 Methylfolate and choline are such key inclusions in our formula, so it’s wonderful to hear The Prenatal has what you were looking for. Thanks for sharing Kate!
— The Maternally Happy Team
I searched for so long to find a prenatal I was happy with, some were terrible, some were ok, some came close but still missed the mark because of the type of vitamin and mineral they would use even if some were excellent they might sneak in a synthetic one, or their excipients were too questionable and not something I wanted to ingest.
I love the fact that there's no active ingredient magnesium in it as it's better to take this away from zinc because they can compete for absorption. I love that there's choline in it and activated b vitamins which are better absorbed. I love that it has included everything you would need so you don't have to worry, especially in the first trimester when it can be so difficult to eat a balanced diet due to the morning sickness.
The only small thing I could find that I would prefer is not in this one is the maltodextrin and magnesium stearate, but these are excipients so minor additions, not the active ingredients, which would be there in very small amounts and would be there for a reason to make the blend work in some way. Appreciate that it's listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods where the excipient list can be viewed for transparency.
As I mentioned at the start this prenatal is the closest to perfect I could find after searching through so many.
Store owner replied:
It’s clear you really did your research and that means so much to us 💜 We’re so glad you appreciate the thought that’s gone into the formulation, from the activated nutrients and inclusion of choline to full ARTG transparency. Creating a comprehensive prenatal without unnecessary extras was incredibly important to us.
Thank you for such a considered and balanced review Daniela 🥰
— The Maternally Happy Team
I rate these prenatals! Firstly I like how they are choline rich, I only have to eat a couple of eggs per day to reach my goal. I like how they have no iron and DHA also so I can control supplementing that separately. I’ve had issues with nausea with other prenatals (seriously been through so many trying to find one that suits me!) and these are the most gentle I’ve found. I take 2 after breakfast and 1 after lunch. Love how everything is bioavailable too. Bub is growing well at 36 weeks!
I’ve started taking Maternally Happy prenatal shortly after finding out I was pregnant following extensive research and comparisons with other brands on the market. I liked the number of ingredients, their levels and bioavailability. I also liked that it didn’t have any added iron as I have a condition that already makes my levels naturally elevated, so that was an added bonus. I find that taking it during the first trimester is sometimes a bit challenging as it does have an “odour” but taking it with food makes it easier. Lastly I like the discreet packaging, so that I can leave it on my work desk to remind me of taking without coworkers noticing it is a prenatal. I also think the price is very reasonable and I’ll keep re-ordering it throughout my pregnancy.
These prenatals have been life changing. They are so easy to tolerate with the dreaded first trimester nausea and have made managing my iron levels so much easier as a seperate dosage. I am a repeat purchaser and have told all my pregnant friends to make the switch!
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for your kind words Grace! we're thrilled you're loving The Prenatal 💜
We intentionally left out iron so that individuals like yourself (whose levels are already optimal) can tailor their intake based on specific needs, under the guidance of a health professional. So glad you found the perfect match!
— The Maternally Happy Team 😊
I’ve absolutely loved The Prenatal from Maternally Happy. From the packaging to the formulation, everything feels incredibly thoughtful and high quality.
I started taking this in the months leading up to trying to conceive and it has quickly become a staple in my daily routine. I especially love how clear and transparent the ingredient list is, it’s so reassuring to know exactly what you’re taking and why each ingredient is included.
The capsules are easy to take, feel gentle, and the whole product just feels intentionally made rather than generic. Such a beautiful, trustworthy brand, I’m so glad I found it.
Store owner replied:
So lovely to hear how well The Prenatal has fit into your preconception routine 💜 We worked hard to make it both effective and easy to take and it means so much to know the thoughtful formulation, and transparency have stood out to you!
— The Maternally Happy Team
The best prenatal on the market for sure and I have tried a few... Great ingredients and good amounts of them. I also don't need to take half the capsules I was taking like choline, selenium, b12 etc because this contains great the daily requirements. I have tolerated them well in the 1st trimester - haven't had horrid morning sickness though as a disclaimer but they are super easy to take. I take one with each meal to help absorption! Love they are caps not hard tablets too. Beautiful formulation and have told all my pregnant gals and clients.
Store owner replied:
So glad The Prenatal has been such a great fit for you 💜 We’ve packed it with highly bioavailable nutrients like choline and B12, so it’s wonderful to hear it’s simplified your supplement routine too. Thanks for sharing the love! 🥹
— The Maternally Happy Team
Loved this pregnancy multi vitamin. Bought it specifically as it has a high level of choline which is missing or deficient in many others. I also loved that it doesn't include iron. It allows me to skip that altogether if I don't need it or buy separately and take the dose I actually need. Would 100% recommend
Store owner replied:
Thank you for spotlighting some of the most intentional parts of our Prenatal, Tash 💜 We’re so glad you appreciated the high choline content - it’s such an important nutrient for neural development, yet often underrepresented in most multis. And you're absolutely right about iron: by leaving it out, it gives flexibility to supplement based on individual needs, especially as iron requirements can vary so much between trimesters (and people!).
So happy this formulation worked so well for you - and thank you for recommending it so wholeheartedly 🥹
– The Maternally Happy Team
Loving this pre natal. I have tried a few different ones whilst waiting for the restock and nothing compared to maternally happy. Highly recommend and a bonus that it is gentle on the stomach.
Store owner replied:
Nothing like finding the one that actually works for you 💜 We’re so happy to hear The Prenatal’s been gentle on your tummy and worth the wait, Lisa. Thanks for sticking with us - we’re glad to have you back! 🥰
– The Maternally Happy Team
Best prenatal on the market. Bio available, balanced and reasonably priced. Will keep buying!
Totally recommend maternally happy prenatal. I have recently got one of my friends to try them now that she’s pregnant. Giving me all the nutrients I need to grow a healthy baby. Thank you 🙏
Big fan of these prenatals for my second pregnancy, a slimmer pill than the brand I used first time around which is great!
Good levels of all the good stuff we need for our growing little ones.
I love the fact that it is so easy on the stomach, and this will be my 3rdmonth of using these wonderful products. I am so happy. And I feel my monthly cycle is on track.
I’ve been taking the Maternity Happy prenatal since Oct 2025. Zero complaints. Supported me through a miscarriage and a subsequently positive pregnancy 2 months later. Easy to digest & no adverse reactions.
A good all I clusive pill. It has replaced the co pounding capsules prescribed for me since it has everything I needed. I do often forget to take the afternoon one though. A 2 a day would be preferred.
I am so happy taking this, it doesn’t make me feel ill in my stomach (like some other brands have). I love how it contains great quantities and ingredients. I know I’m going something great!
Why do we use methyl-folate instead of folic acid?
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that must first be converted in the body before it can be used. We choose Quatrefolic® (5-MTHF), a methylated folate, because it is a biologically active form of folate - the same form that naturally circulates in the body. Unlike folic acid, it does not require enzymatic conversion and can be utilised directly.
How much choline does your prenatal contain?
Our prenatal provides 550mg of choline, meeting the entire recommended daily intake (RDI) for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. During pregnancy, choline requirements are around 440-450mg per day. This increases to 550mg per day in late pregnancy and when breastfeeding.
Why is iron not included in the formula?
We left iron out of our formulation on purpose. Here are 3 reasons why:
Zinc and iron compete for absorption and zinc is a key ingredient for preconception health and immune support.
Iron dosage should be individualised based on your specific pathology, trimester and requirements during pregnancy. If the body doesn't need iron it can increase the risk of oxidative stress.
We wanted to cater to those with iron overload issues such as haemochromatosis.
Where is the prenatal manufactured?
In QLD, Australia. We manufacture in a TGA certified facility. The Prenatal is TGA listed: 522297
Why 3 capsules?
When formulating we found that 1-2 capsules didn't contain enough room to optimise dosages. Folate and choline receive much attention during preconception right through to postpartum, and rightfully so, which is why The Prenatal contains 500mcg of methyl-folate and 550mg of choline. However, we wanted to ensure we didn’t overlook other essential vitamins and minerals needed to support every stage of motherhood. Using 3 capsules provided us with essentially more 'space' to include everything you and your baby needs in 3 easy-to-swallow capsules.
When should I starting taking The Prenatal?
Ideally, supplementation is considered 3-6 months prior to conception. If this isn’t possible, your healthcare professional may recommend starting as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. Many health professionals also suggest continuing a prenatal throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period, particularly while breastfeeding. If you are not breastfeeding, your practitioner can advise on the most appropriate duration for you.
When is the best time to take The Prenatal?
Ideally, take two capsules together after breakfast (at least 30-60 minutes away from caffeine) and one at lunchtime.
Alternatively, you can take all doses together, whichever suits your lifestyle best.
We recommend avoiding taking the prenatal at night, as it contains B vitamins and vitamin D which increase energy levels, making it harder to wind down for the evening.
I’m struggling with pregnancy nausea, is there another way to take The Prenatal?
You can empty your capsules into a smoothie or flavoured yoghurt. You can also freeze them into icy-poles or juice. Consume immediately.
Do your capsules have a taste?
There may be a slight taste or smell when swallowing the capsules, which is common in supplements containing therapeutic levels of B vitamins and high dose choline.
Do your capsules have a smell?
Yes, many prenatal vitamins have a noticeable smell - this is very common, especially in formulas that contain B vitamins and higher doses of choline, which our product includes.
Each daily serve provides 550 mg of choline - the recommended daily intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Choline plays an important role in supporting healthy brain development and is essential during pregnancy and postpartum.
While the scent might seem a little strong (especially if pregnant!), it reflects the therapeutic dosing and nutrient density of the formulation. When developing our prenatal, ingredient quality and effectiveness were top priorities - ensuring you receive nutrients in their most effective forms. We also don’t use artificial flavours or coatings, so you can be confident that health and transparency are always prioritised.
Will it make my urine go bright yellow?
This can happen, and it’s completely harmless. It’s usually due to the presence of B vitamins - most commonly vitamin B2 (riboflavin).
Can Myo-Inositol and Hydrolysed Collagen be taken with The Prenatal?
Our products are designed to complement each other, and many individuals from our community take them together. However, we recommend consulting your health professional to ensure they are suitable for your specific needs.
Does The Prenatal contain any allergens?
The Prenatal is free from all major allergens, including: Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Egg, Tree Nuts, Peanuts and Sesame Seeds.
For questions regarding potential trace amounts due to manufacturing processes, feel free to contact our team at support@maternallyhappy.com.
What's changed in the refined formula?
We've made a few evidence-based refinements to The Prenatal. The formulation philosophy and our commitment to quality haven't changed, we're always reviewing the latest research, and this update reflects that.
Here's what's new:
VitaCholine® by Balchem: One of the most clinically researched forms of choline available, with a milder natural aroma than standard choline sources (helpful if you're navigating morning sickness). Dose remains 550mg, in line with Australian pregnancy and breastfeeding requirements.
Vitamin D as Vega Delight®: A higher-purity D3 with a cleaner excipient profile. What isn't in your supplement matters just as much as what is.
Vitamin K2: Updated to further support calcium metabolism alongside Vitamin D.
Biotin and Vitamin B6: Both updated in line with the latest evidence.
Purple Carrot Capsules: Naturally coloured with purple carrot concentrate. No synthetic dyes, no additives and the natural pigment helps support the potency of sensitive nutrients, including the B vitamins.
