After a few years of success stories, I realized that I had a knack for helping women have healthy babies! This is the core set of products that I feel comfortable recommending to all women who are trying to conceive (recommended 6 months preparation to optimally replenish your body) and those who already have and are looking for a physician designed program. There are several levels of Baby in a Box to accommodate income levels, but please make 100% effort to do what's best for your unborn baby. I promise that having an unhealthy baby or taxing your body to the extreme in order to feed your little one is much more costly. This set of vitamins is also much better tolerated and the effects of pregnancy, such as nausea, mental fog and constipation, are often alleviated.
*note: to save on shipping, I recommend that you buy 3 or 6 months at a time. Buying 6 months is $75 additional savings as the 6th pack is half off when bought at one time.
Professional Prenatals
Not all prenatal vitamins are created equal! This is in a capsule, not a tablet, with no added fillers or contaminants and contains all ingredients in their best and purest forms in appropriate levels for pregnancy preparation, pregnancy and lactation.
This professional blend has a blend of naturally active folate (not synthetic folic acid). This is important because many people have a genetic predisposition to not tolerate synthetic folic acid well biochemically causing a wide array of problems. It is very important in pregnancy, however, so please give your baby the best. The B12, commonly cyanocobalamin (attached to cyanide) in lower quality prenatals, is methylcobalamin; the active and naturally found form. The minerals in our Professional Prenatal have been selected for their bioavailability so that you are sure to absorb the mineral. These minerals are dosed according to your pregnancy needs and include:
Calcium and magnesium are selected for healthy bone formation
Ferrochel chelated iron is the most bioavailable on the market and will not lead to constipation, a common side effect of most prenatals
Chelated Zinc is included to reduce the risk of preterm babies
Potassium Iodide was selected to stop undiagnosed suboptimal levels from yielding learning disabilities
A one month supply to prepare for baby and nourish him/her throughout pregnancy.

This omega is designed to meet your baby's needs for neurological development throughout pregnancy and, unlike what you may purchase in the stores, it has ben molecularly distilled and filtered to maximize the removal of metals, pesticides, PCBs and other contaminants. You can also be sure that it is not rancid, as many oils are, sadly, on the market today. It contained lipase to enhance digestability and mixed tocopherols to enhance stability. Also best taken for 6 months before you are pregnant, Ultimate Omega should be taken as soon as possible for optimal wellness in pregnancy.

Calm Mag
Magnesium, in the most bioavailable form of glycinate chelate, is very important in pregnancy and commonly found deficient due to today's poor nutrient dense soils and diet. Both magnesium and glycine, the amino acid it is attached to, have a relaxing effect on the nervous system. Magnesium also decreases muscle cramps and spasms, is heart protective, aids detoxification and PMS, promotes bone health, and prevents cardiac arrhythmias. This is the form of magnesium least likely to loosen bowels, (magnesium in other forms is amazing for constipation and avoiding hemorrhoids in pregnancy)

Synergistic Probiotic
Probiotics taken in pregnancy have been shown to decrease allergies and chronic skin rashes like ezcema in babies. They are also beneficial for your overall immune system and gut health. Regular consumption of probiotics may improve diarrhea, constipation, immune response, mucin production, dysbiosis, bacterial infections, yeast overgrowth, and should be considered during or after use of antibiotics. Probiotics should be refrigerated and are perishable, so please keep them cold as soon as you get them. In addition to the blend of health organisms that are important to take, the quality of the product is determined by its survival. It must survive the manufacturing, shipping and stomach acid and is formulated to endure those obstacles to end up where you want them; in your intestines!
