No nausea, no horse pills — just a brilliant formula

Thorne Basic Prenatal is what every prenatal vitamin should aspire to be. Clean, bioavailable nutrients in a formula that actually works with your body. The methylfolate instead of synthetic folic acid is essential for many women and the choline content for fetal brain development is something most brands completely overlook. The 90-capsule size is very practical.

30 servings of the most complete prenatal available

Thorne Basic Prenatal is the prenatal vitamin I wish I'd found with my first pregnancy. The use of methylfolate rather than synthetic folic acid is crucial for women with MTHFR variations and the inclusion of choline for fetal brain development puts it ahead of almost every competitor. The 90-capsule jar is 30 servings at 3 per day — great value for this quality.

Very happy with Thorne Basic Prenatal

Good prenatal with excellent ingredient quality. The three capsule format is easy to manage and causes no nausea even in my first trimester. The folate and choline combination is comprehensive. I dock one star because the price per serving is higher than some alternatives — though the quality more than justifies it. Would recommend to any pregnant or nursing woman.

The methylfolate form is so important — Thorne gets it

Thorne Basic Prenatal ticks every box I had on my list when researching prenatals. Methylfolate not folic acid, choline for fetal brain development, bioavailable iron that doesn't cause constipation, and a clean formula with no artificial colours or preservatives. The 90 capsules provide 30 days of comprehensive support. My absolute go-to for both pregnancy and nursing.

The best prenatal vitamin I've ever taken

My OB specifically recommended Thorne Basic Prenatal after I struggled with nausea from other brands. The capsules are smaller than most and cause me zero nausea even in the first trimester. The folate and choline combination is exactly what my doctor wanted to see. I've been taking it throughout my second and third trimesters and feel genuinely well supported.

Folate not folic acid — makes all the difference

Thorne Basic Prenatal is the most complete and clean prenatal I've found. Three capsules a day delivers everything my baby needs including the active methylfolate form which my body can actually use, plus choline which most prenatals skip entirely. I've had no nausea, no constipation, and my energy levels have been noticeably better since switching to Thorne.

30 servings of the most complete prenatal available

I switched to Thorne Basic Prenatal on my midwife's recommendation at 8 weeks and the difference has been remarkable. The capsules are smooth and easy to swallow, the formula is gentle on my stomach even with morning sickness, and the inclusion of choline gives me confidence that my baby is getting comprehensive nutritional support. Highly recommend to any expectant mother.

Didn't notice the improvement I expected

I was surprised to experience significant nausea with Thorne Basic Prenatal given its gentle reputation. Even taking the capsules with food and splitting them across morning and evening, the nausea persisted for three weeks. I ultimately switched to a different brand. The formula quality is clearly excellent but it simply didn't agree with my stomach.

Good formula but three capsules is tough

Good prenatal vitamin with clean ingredients and a formula my doctor approved. The methylfolate and choline are thoughtful inclusions. My concern is the cost — at 30 servings per jar, the monthly expense adds up significantly compared to other well-regarded prenatals. The quality is there but I'm not sure the premium is always accessible or necessary for everyone.

Folate not folic acid — makes all the difference

After trying four different prenatal brands and struggling with nausea and large pills, Thorne Basic Prenatal has been a complete revelation. The three smaller capsules are so much easier to take than one large tablet. The methylfolate and choline formula is clinically superior and my OB was very pleased when I told her I'd switched. Will not go back to anything else.

Good quality but price adds up quickly

Thorne Basic Prenatal has genuinely good ingredient quality — the methylfolate and choline inclusion are exactly right. My issue is remembering to take three separate capsules every day. I often forget the third. The formula itself is excellent but the dosing schedule is harder to maintain than a single daily tablet. Decent but not perfect for my lifestyle.

Good formula but three capsules is tough

Thorne Basic Prenatal is a decent prenatal with good bioavailable nutrients. I've tolerated it well and experienced no nausea. My issue is that the iron content is lower than some prenatals which matters for me as I've been advised to monitor my iron levels during pregnancy. Fine overall but I need to supplement iron separately which adds inconvenience.

Didn't notice the improvement I expected

I used Thorne Basic Prenatal for two months expecting the improvement in energy and wellbeing that reviewers describe. Honestly I noticed very little difference compared to my previous prenatal. The ingredient quality is clearly superior on paper but the practical difference was minimal for me. Good product but perhaps not worth the premium for everyone.

Clean formula, easy to tolerate

Very good quality prenatal that I've tolerated well throughout my pregnancy. The clean formula with no unnecessary additives is reassuring and my OB approved my choice. I give it 4 stars because I wish the choline level were slightly higher — it's present and meaningful but I sometimes supplement separately. Overall a very strong prenatal choice.
