Women's Health
This section includes prenatal complexes, inositol, botanical blends, probiotics and oils. Choose for the particular life stage and ingredients: a women's label does not automatically mean suitability during pregnancy or breastfeeding. When using several supplements, check combined folate, iron, iodine and other micronutrient intake.

Choosing supplements for women
Pregnancy, different inositol formulas and the actual contents of a daily serving.
Is everything in this category also suitable during pregnancy?
No. Pregnancy Complex is intended for pregnancy and breastfeeding, but the warnings for Female Support PMS, Puravia Myo-Inositol Complex and Puravia chasteberry exclude these periods. The 40+ Woman Multivitamin has its own restrictions too. Discuss suitable prenatal nutrition with your maternity care professional in light of your diet and other products. Do not assume a botanical blend is safe simply because it is natural.
How do I spot overlapping folate in several products?
Add up the contents of each full daily serving. Pregnancy Complex contains 400 µg folic acid in 2 capsules. Viridian Methylfolate adds another 400 µg per capsule, although in a different form. An inositol powder may already contain added folic acid too. Do not choose a combination by its names: show a doctor or pharmacist both the form and quantity, and check iron and iodine as well. A higher total is not automatically better.
Is inositol powder the same as Myo-Inositol Complex capsules?
The ingredients and instructions differ. Viridian Myo-Inositol & Folic Acid lists 2000 mg myo-inositol and 200 µg folic acid per 2 g serving; its directions specify two servings daily with food. Puravia Myo-Inositol Complex contains 1950 mg myo-inositol and 50 mg D-chiro-inositol in 3 capsules, has no folate in its ingredients and is ideally taken between meals. One powder serving is therefore not equivalent to the daily capsule serving.
Does Pregnancy Complex also contain omega oil or DHA?
Neither DHA nor oil appears in its stated ingredients; these are separate products. Pregnancy Omega Oil combines plant and algae oils and its table lists 273 mg DHA per daily 15 ml serving. The 91 mg DHA figure applies to just 5 ml. Before adding the oil, compare the actual serving and other omega sources. Sharing the word Pregnancy does not mean the two packs are identical or that you must always use both.
How do I compare pack size and storage after opening?
Pregnancy Complex in a 60-capsule pack lasts 30 days at 2 capsules daily; a 120-capsule pack lasts 60 days. Liquid Pregnancy Omega Oil must also be refrigerated after opening and used within 6 weeks. For the capsules, follow their own cool, dry storage instructions. Note when you open a pack: its unopened shelf life does not automatically apply once opened.
