When we say there are a lot of supplements out there, we mean a lot. With science constantly evolving and the fertility world expanding beyond just a focus on preconception planning, WeNatal is shifting prenatal care from women-centered to couples-centered. In other words, from "me" to "WE." And on any fertility journey, we can use all the help we can get. 

My experience taking WeNatal supplements

I was invited to try WeNatal's prenatal supplements, and here are a few things I really enjoy about using them:

First, the packaging is gorgeous — much more sophisticated than prenatal supplement brands' typical pink and purple labels. The refillable glass jar also adds a luxurious touch, showing that there is substance to the style.

I have tried many supplements, and while shifting to a prenatal focus, I found a lot of information (and variety) out there — from gummies to giant pills. Fun fact: I have a horrible gag reflex and loathe taking any large pill. So, as a fan of gummy vitamins, I was pleasantly surprised that the size of the WeNatal prenatal supplement didn't deter me from taking the daily dose of three pills. Plus, taking only three pills instead of the common six or eight-pill dosage to get the same amount of nutrients is a major plus.  

Additionally, the guided journal that comes with WeNatal's supplements is a bonus during what can be a very stressful time. It serves as a conversation tool, gently prompting couples to explore their fertility journey together. This thoughtful addition is something I haven't seen from other preconception brands. It highlights the importance of education and creates a new routine for couples as they invest in this journey to secure the best possible outcomes for their future family. My partner and I were glad to use it as a guide for deepening our conversations and conducting daily check-ins, and I actually look forward to continuing to use both the supplements and the journal! 

So, what makes WeNatal supplements different?

WeNatal prenatal supplements — developed by a team of functional medicine doctors, nutritionists, and fertility experts, and supported by cutting-edge scientific research — support women and men on their holistic preconception journey, and there are a few reasons why they stand out from their competitors. 

High-quality, clean ingredients

Unlike many prenatals currently on the market, WeNatal supplements are made without synthetic dyes, fillers, preservatives, or artificial ingredients. They are fully committed to using clean, high-quality, bioavailable ingredients to provide consumers with the highest-quality product at an accessible price — for example, using methylated folate instead of synthetic folic acid to ensure better absorption and efficacy. 

Tailored nutritional support

WeNatal offers two distinct formulations: one for women and one for men. The women's supplement supports fertility, a healthy pregnancy, fetal development, and postpartum health. It includes essential nutrients like folate (in its active form, methylfolate), iron, and choline in amounts that have been proven by research to make a difference. The men's supplement optimizes sperm health and vitality, featuring antioxidants and nutrients like CoQ10, zinc, and NAC. 

Comprehensive approach

WeNatal goes beyond just providing supplements. They offer insightful resources and support to guide couples through the preconception journey (and beyond). This holistic approach includes access to educational content, expert advice, a free nutrition consultation, and a community of like-minded individuals. After exploring their resources, I was impressed with the amount of resources available, which can be incredibly valuable for couples navigating the complexities of fertility and pregnancy preparation.

Eco-friendly and sustainable

As I mentioned before, WeNatal packaging is not only beautiful but also eco-friendly. The brand demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability by using eco-friendly materials, shipping subscription refills in recyclable bags, and emphasizing ethical sourcing of ingredients.

As an added bonus to improving fertility health in both women and men, WeNatal's formulations include adaptogens and nutrients like vitamin B6 and magnesium, which can help balance hormones and reduce stress — a significant factor in reproductive and overall health during the preconception period. I personally noticed an increase in energy with consistent-use, giving me a gentle boost throughout the day that helped me focus on important tasks.

The takeaway? WeNatal prenatals represent a thoughtful, science-backed approach to preconception health, pregnancy, and postpartum. With formulas tailored to the unique needs of both women and men, high-quality ingredients, and a holistic support system, WeNatal offers an excellent option for those looking to ensure a healthy start to their pregnancy journey. The benefits of investing in both partners' health can be invaluable in the long run, and WeNatal makes it easy to start together.
