Key takeaways:

✨ Choline is vital for fetal growth and brain development. It’s involved in cell membrane structure, neurotransmitter synthesis, and methylation pathways, all foundational processes during pregnancy. 

✨ Supplementation in pregnancy has been linked with improvements in cognitive outcomes in children. Higher maternal choline intake appears to support aspects of child memory and learning. 

✨ Choline has been recognised as an essential nutrient since the late 1990s, and this review included studies where pregnant women received supplemental choline in various forms (e.g., choline chloride, phosphatidylcholine).

✨ Because demands for choline increase during pregnancy (due to growth and metabolic needs), many women may not meet optimal intakes through diet alone. 

Food sources of choline:
• Eggs
• Liver
• Poultry
• Fish
• Soy products
• Cruciferous vegetables

Why this matters
Choline supports methylation, neurological development, and placental function, all of which lay the foundation for long-term health for both parent and baby. Supplementing appropriately before and during pregnancy may help fill dietary gaps and potentially benefit child development outcomes.

Not all prenatal supplements are created equal. Many standard formulas contain cheap or poorly absorbed forms of nutrients like synthetic folic acid instead of active methylfolate, or low levels of key nutrients such as choline, iodine, or magnesium.

A high-quality prenatal should provide bioavailable forms of essential vitamins and minerals in the right amounts to support egg quality, hormone balance, and early fetal development. Look for one with activated or methyl folate, at least 250-300mg of choline, vitamin D, iodine, selenium, zinc and active b12 (methyl or hydroxocobalamin).

If you’d like help choosing the right prenatal for you please don’t hesitate to reach out!

A prenatal isn’t just for pregnancy, it’s about preparing your body before conception and supporting optimal development from the very beginning.

From a naturopathic perspective, a quality prenatal helps address common nutrient gaps that can impact hormone balance, egg and s***m quality, and early fetal development.

Key nutrients such as folate, iron, iodine, choline, zinc, selenium, B-group vitamins, and omega-3s play essential roles in:
• Hormone production and regulation
• Ovulation and menstrual cycle health
• Egg and s***m quality
• Healthy placental development
• Neural tube and brain development

Because nutrient demands increase rapidly in early pregnancy, often before you even know you’re pregnant, supporting optimal levels prior to conception is key.

A prenatal is not a replacement for a nutrient-dense diet, but a foundational support to complement whole foods and individual needs.

Like all supplements, the right prenatal should be tailored — dose, form, and timing matter.

If you’re preparing for pregnancy, already pregnant, or unsure which prenatal is right for you, I offer 1:1 naturopathic support to personalise supplementation and nutrition to your unique needs.

Preconception care isn’t about rushing or doing everything at once, it’s about giving your body time to build resilience, nutrient stores and hormonal balance before pregnancy begins.

These foundational steps support:
• egg & s***m quality
• healthy ovulation
• balanced hormones
• pregnancy outcomes

The earlier you begin, the more gently and sustainably your body can prepare.

Preconception care is proactive, not reactive. ❤️

If you’re thinking about trying, even “sometime next year”, now is the perfect time to start laying the groundwork.

Vitamin D is more than a bone nutrient, it acts as a steroid hormone, with receptors found in the ovaries, endometrium, placenta and s***m.

Research has linked low vitamin D status with:
• ovulatory dysfunction
• reduced IVF success rates
• impaired implantation
• increased risk of pregnancy complications
• poorer s***m parameters

Despite living in sunny climates, vitamin D deficiency is common, particularly in women planning pregnancy.

Optimising vitamin D before conception may support:
– hormone regulation
– egg & s***m quality
– endometrial receptivity
– immune tolerance in early pregnancy

Testing matters. Supplementation should be individualised, based on blood levels, genetics, absorption and overall nutrient status.

Here are the top nutrients to prioritise for healthy eggs:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduces inflammation, improves blood flow to the ovaries, and enhances egg membrane integrity for better fertilisation.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10): Supports mitochondrial energy production in eggs, helping maintain their quality and reduce age-related decline.

Vitamin D: Regulates ovarian function, improves hormone balance, and enhances egg maturation and implantation potential.

Folate: Essential for DNA synthesis and prevents chromosomal abnormalities, supporting healthy egg development.

Zinc: Aids in egg maturation, regulates reproductive hormones, and supports proper cell division for healthy ovulation.

Selenium: Protects eggs from oxidative stress, supports thyroid function, and reduces the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

Here are the top 6 nutrients for fertility:

Folate - Supports healthy cell division and DNA synthesis. Reduces the risk of neural tube defects.

Iron - Helps with oxygen transport to the fetus, reducing the risk of premature birth and low birth weight.

Calcium - Essential for the development of the baby’s bones and teeth, and for maintaining maternal bone health.

Choline - Vital for brain and spinal cord development. Reduces the risk of neural tube defects.

Zinc - Plays a critical role in fertility and fetal development, particularly for the nervous system.

Iodine - Supports thyroid function and hormone balance and ensures proper fetal development, especially for the brain.

It’s important to prioritise these nutrients by consuming a wholefood based diet rich in dark leafy greens, eggs, nuts, seeds, wholegrains, legumes, grass-fed meats and oily fish.
