Incorporating Nourish+ into Your Daily Routine: Tips for Expecting Mothers

Pregnancy is a transformative time filled with excitement and responsibility. Ensuring optimal nutrition becomes more crucial than ever, as a mother’s body supports not only her own health but also the development of her growing baby. While a balanced diet forms the foundation of prenatal care, many expecting mothers turn to supplements for additional support. Nourish+, our whole food-based prenatal vitamin, offers a thoughtfully formulated solution. Incorporating it into a daily routine is simple and impactful when done with intention.

One of the standout features of Nourish+ is its use of methylated folate instead of the synthetic folic acid found in many traditional supplements. Methylated folate (5-MTHF) is the bioactive form of folate, which means it's already in the form the body can use—especially important for the 40–60% of women who have an MTHFR gene mutation that affects folate metabolism [1]. Adequate folate levels during early pregnancy are vital for preventing neural tube defects and supporting fetal brain development. Taking Nourish+ in the morning with a meal helps ensure better absorption and minimizes any potential nausea.

Another key component of Nourish+ is iron, an essential mineral that supports red blood cell production and helps prevent anemia during pregnancy—a common concern among expecting mothers. Studies show that up to 52% of pregnant women worldwide may be anemic, leading to fatigue, dizziness, and complications if left untreated [2]. Iron is best absorbed with paired with vitamin C, which is also why we included it in Nourish+, as a comprehensive whole foods prenatal. 

For mothers experiencing morning sickness, Nourish+ includes organic ginger root, a natural remedy with a long history of use for nausea relief. A 2014 review published in Nutrition Journal confirmed that ginger supplementation significantly reduces pregnancy-related nausea without adverse effects [3]. Expecting mothers who feel nauseous in the morning may find it more comfortable to take Nourish+ with lunch or dinner instead, or to split the dosage across two meals if needed.

Incorporating Nourish+ into your daily routine doesn't have to be complicated. Set a consistent time to take it, pair it with a nourishing meal, and listen to your body’s needs. The whole food-based, easily digestible formula helps bridge any nutritional gaps while supporting both mom and baby through the journey of pregnancy. As always, consult with your healthcare provider to tailor your prenatal routine to your individual needs.
