What are pregnancy vitamins and supplements?
Pregnancy vitamins and supplements are products used during pregnancy to support nutritional needs. They may include prenatal multivitamins, DHA supplements, activated folate, iron, or formulas that combine multiple pregnancy nutrients.
Some people choose a broad prenatal multivitamin. Others may choose a targeted nutrient such as DHA, activated folate or iron, depending on their diet, current routine and health professional advice.
Pregnancy supplements should not replace a balanced diet, but they may help support nutrient intake during pregnancy when used as directed.
Choosing pregnancy vitamins and supplements
Choosing a pregnancy supplement starts with your main need. You may want a prenatal multivitamin, a DHA supplement, a combined multi and DHA product, or a bundle that brings key pregnancy products together.
Some products are designed for broader pregnancy nutrition. Others are more targeted, such as DHA, activated folate or iron. The best option depends on your stage of pregnancy, diet, current supplements and whether you need to avoid doubling up on nutrients.
Perdays offers pregnancy supplements for different needs, including prenatal multi options, DHA, multi + DHA formulas and pregnancy bundles.
Key nutrients during pregnancy
Folate & activated folate
Folate is commonly discussed in pregnancy nutrition, especially in early pregnancy and pregnancy planning. Some supplements use activated folate forms, including levomefolate. Activated folate remains an important nutrient pathway for the Perdays pregnancy range.
DHA & omega-3
DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid commonly discussed during pregnancy in the context of pregnancy nutrition and foetal brain development. Perdays Pregnancy DHA is designed for people who want targeted DHA and omega-3 support during pregnancy.
Iron
Iron is a commonly discussed pregnancy nutrient because iron needs can change during pregnancy. Some people may need additional iron support, while others may already be getting enough through diet or existing supplements. Iron appears in The Pregnancy Partner bundle. If you are considering iron during pregnancy, check labels carefully and speak with your health professional, especially if you are already taking a prenatal multivitamin.
Iodine
Iodine is another nutrient commonly considered during pregnancy. It is often included in pregnancy nutrition discussions because requirements may change during this life stage. Speak with your health professional about whether iodine is suitable for your individual needs.
Choline
Choline is a pregnancy nutrient that may appear in prenatal multivitamin formulas. It is often discussed as part of broader prenatal nutrition. If choline is important to your pregnancy nutrition plan, check the product label to see whether it is included.
Vitamin D, calcium & K2
Vitamin D, calcium and vitamin K2 are commonly discussed in pregnancy nutrition. Some pregnancy formulas may include nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium or vitamin K2, depending on the product. Some people may consider these nutrients separately, while others may receive them through diet, a prenatal product or another supplement routine. Check individual product labels to see which nutrients are included, and speak with your health professional if you are unsure what is suitable for your needs.
B vitamins
B vitamins are often included in prenatal multivitamins and pregnancy supplements. They may appear alongside folate, activated folate or other pregnancy nutrients. Check the label directions and avoid combining multiple products with overlapping B vitamins unless advised by a health professional.

Can you take multiple pregnancy supplements?
Some pregnancy supplements can be used together, but it depends on the product, nutrient amounts and label directions.
For example, some people may consider a prenatal multivitamin with a separate DHA supplement. Others may already be using a multi + DHA product and may not need an additional DHA product.
