Common questions

Is MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi healthy?

MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi scores 0/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi?

MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi lists 33 ingredients, starting with Vitamin a, Vitamin c, Vitamin D3, Vitamin e and Vitamin k. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi?

MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Multi has no NOVA group.
