Common questions

Is Needed Prenatal Multi healthy?

Needed 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. 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 Needed Prenatal Multi?

Needed Prenatal Multi lists 51 ingredients, starting with Vegetable Capsule, Hypromellose, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Leucine and Organic Rice Hulls. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Needed Prenatal Multi contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Needed 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 Needed Prenatal Multi?

Needed Prenatal Multi has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Needed Prenatal Multi compare to other multivitamins?

At 0/100 Needed Prenatal Multi scores worse than most multivitamins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in multivitamins is Tymbark Multiwitamina at 97/100.
