Included in a meaningful but safe amount
Like most practitioner-grade supplements, we don’t include calcium and magnesium in our pregnancy formula. The large molecular size of these minerals makes it impossible to fit meaningful amounts into a single capsule.
In order to achieve the amounts of calcium and magnesium needed to support a healthy pregnancy, you’d have to take an additional 3-6 capsules per day of a separate calcium and magnesium supplement.
A lot of brands do include calcium and magnesium in token amounts to make their formula appear more complete. It goes against our ethos to include ingredients in token amounts, and it misleads the customer into thinking they’re covering their dietary intake needs.
In the US, the recommendation is to include calcium and magnesium in prenatals, however, the NHS recommendation is not to supplement unless you have an additional requirement. They believe that requirements can be met through diet.
However our view here at Inessa is that unless you’re a big dairy and greens eater, supplementation may be wise. For that reason, we do recommend adding a calcium and magnesium product on top, especially for vegans or those with absorption problems.

“As an author and women’s health expert, I’m often asked for my favorite prenatal vitamin. My go-to is the combo of Inessa’s Pregnancy Multinutrient and ultra-pure Advanced Omega 3. They are gentle on my sensitive gut (no nausea!), made with bioavailable, high-quality ingredients, and include every essential vitamin and mineral (like choline) for a healthy pregnancy.”
Leslie Schrock - Author of bestselling US pregnancy guide, Bumpin’
“It is hard to find a comprehensive pregnancy supplement, the market place is over run with cheap low quality options. Inessa supplements have been created by a nutritional therapist and it’s clear to me that a lot of thought and research has gone into creating this.”

“I love Inessa’s high quality formulations. I use and recommend the products myself. I’m a real fan of the pregnancy supplement as the formulation is great for my clients - for both fertility and pregnancy. The high quality, therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals ensure that my clients are getting the essential nutrients they need, at a time when optimal nutrient status is essential.”

“It’s so rare to find a supplement that ticks all the boxes when it comes to quantity (dosage) and quality of ingredients for pregnancy’s nutrition needs. So, I’m always very happy to recommend Inessa’s Pregnancy Multinutrients to all my pregnant clients. I particularly like that Inessa contains choline, a nutrient which is just as important as folate for neurodevelopment of baby. Other supplements that I have recommended from the Inessa range are Advanced Omega 3 and Inessa Magnesium.”

Our Pregnancy Multinutrient is safe for most women, but if you are taking prescribed medication, you should always consult your doctor prior to using supplements.
Do not use our Pregnancy Multinutrient without the permission of your doctor. This is because it contains vitamin K2 which can interfere with blood thinners.
“As a mum myself, it was important to me that this formula included only the premium quality ingredients women really need, in their most bioavailable forms.
Our pregnancy formula combines the best of European and US pregnancy recommendations to provide the ultimate support to new mums, whether they’re trying to conceive, pregnant, breastfeeding or beyond. I’d also recommend taking an ultra pure Omega 3 Fish Oil when pregnant and breastfeeding.”
Yes it does, and we also use folate in its superior, methylated form. Many women aren’t able to metabolise their synthetic folic acid supplements into usable folate very well, which may impact their pregnancy. The L-5-MTHF form we use is molecularly identical to the natural form we derive from plant foods. It’s much easier for all women to use and so reduces any risks associated with poor conversion.
Yes, it’s 100% vegan and Vegan Society registered.
A healthy diet is the most important source of absorbable nutrients (as well as things like protein and fibre) and as such it should always be your number one priority. But with today’s on-the-go lifestyles, not to mention morning sickness, it’s not always possible for pregnant women to eat the perfect diet every day. It’s also worth noting that it’s more tricky to get enough nutrients like vitamin D3, choline, folate and iron solely from our diets. Supplements can supply extra nutrients specifically tailored to support the needs of pregnancy, so you know there won’t be any gaps in your nutrition.
There’s no bad time to start, but the ideal time is three to six months prior to your pregnancy to help you reach optimal nutrient levels before you’re pregnant. Those initial first weeks are critical, so taking a pregnancy supplement early can have a positive impact.
Yes, it can be used in all three trimesters. Alongside a balanced diet, supplementation throughout your pregnancy is important not only for the healthy development of your baby, but also to support your own nutritional status.
Yes. The nutrients included in the Inessa Pregnancy Multinutrient formula are beneficial for breastfeeding, as nutrients pass through to the baby via breast milk. The nutrients of particular value during breastfeeding are vitamin D, iodine and choline, all of which are included in the Pregnancy Multinutrient supplement. We’d also advise breastfeeding mothers to take an ultra pure Omega 3 supplement, such as Inessa Advanced Omega 3.
Yes, and it’s a really good idea to keep taking it up to a year post-birth. During pregnancy and breastfeeding your body prioritises delivering nutrients to the growing baby. It is not uncommon for mother’s to suffer from postnatal depletion which can fuel post-birth fatigue and may lead to other health problems.
While it contains all the pregnancy vitamins and micronutrients you need to fill any gaps in your diet, we would recommend taking a high-quality, ultra pure Omega 3 supplement containing DHA and EPA. Whether you’re pregnant or breast-feeding, these essential fatty acids are important to your baby’s brain and nervous system and it’s a good idea to supplement, particularly if you’re not getting enough essential fatty acids from your diet.
It’s also worth remembering that no multivitamin is big enough to contain the amounts of calcium and magnesium that will make a difference to your health, which is why we don’t include token amounts of these nutrients in ours. If you feel like you’re not getting enough calcium in your diet (if you’re vegan, dairy free or suffer from morning sickness or malabsorption issues, for example) we’ve designed our Calcium & Magnesium to be taken alongside the Pregnancy Multinutrient. But if you feel like you get enough calcium in your diet, our Magnesium only supplements can also be taken with our Pregnancy Multinutrient to ensure you and your baby are getting enough of this essential mineral.
Take 2 capsules per day with food, or as recommended by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended intake. Do not use as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
Women with known genetic mutations resulting in poor uptake of folic acid should seek specialist medical advice as they may benefit from significantly higher doses than the general population.
