Stand-Alone Iron Pill
We have the best customers who share tons of love and feedback for our supplements. We’re always listening, and are proud to share updates to our products, all done to make your journey easier.
Here’s your complete guide to the changes.
The Postpartum is now the Postpartum Pack
We’re rolling out name changes across our supplements so that who they’re for and what they do is clearer than ever.
With your feedback and postpartum in mind, we updated the formula.
Reduced Zinc
We’ve switched to a gentler-on-the-stomach and more bioavailable form of Zinc (Zinc Bisglycinate)—and reduced the amount, while still ensuring you get the recommended daily value.
Reduced B12
The new reduced B12 dose meets your needs and still aligns with what doctors recommend (which is typically above the daily value recommendation, since the body doesn’t absorb efficiently).
New Iron Formulation
You’re still getting Iron at the dose recommended by doctors—we’ve just formulated it so it’s in its own capsule to support better stability and gentler digestion. It also allows those who have been advised to skip or temporarily stop taking Iron to continue taking the rest of their prenatal without ditching the whole pack.
Removed Calcium
Calcium has been removed from this pack so that Iron can shine—no competition for absorption. It’s also a nutrient that's readily available in most diets, allowing us to prioritize super essential Iron. If your doctor recommends additional Calcium, consider the Calcium + Magnesium + Vitamin D Boost, the perfect complement to your routine and designed for nighttime.

Your Postpartum Pack Questions, Answered
Why did the formulas change?
Our goal is to make the very best, clinically effective supplements, so we’re always evolving and listening to feedback. We made this formula a bit gentler to ensure even those with the most sensitive stomachs will take their prenatals every day and benefit from the important and necessary ingredients recommended by doctors during pregnancy.
Is the new formula as effective as the previous one?
It was extremely effective—and still is! You’re still getting all the nutrients needed in the fourth trimester, at the doses and in the correct forms to support you and your baby (if nursing).
Why did you remove Calcium?
Calcium is important in postpartum, but it’s also a nutrient that’s readily available in most diets, and you’ll find it in many fortified foods. It’s also often cited as a nutrient that can interfere with Iron’s absorption. While in our previous formula, the amount of Calcium included wasn’t high enough to mess with your Iron, out of an abundance of caution, we’ve removed it here because Iron is so important in postpartum. If you still want (or your doctor recommends) you take additional Calcium, try our Calcium + Magnesium + Vitamin D Boost. It includes 350 mg of the nutrient and is formulated to be taken at night (thanks to relaxing Magnesium).
Why did you reduce B12?
Supplemental doses of B12 are often very high—far beyond the recommended dietary allowance—because your body only absorbs about one to two percent of it from supplements, and it can flush out any excess via your urine (making it low risk for getting too much). Although we’ve lowered the amount included in our formula, it’s still high enough to ensure you’re meeting your needs (even with that low absorption rate).
Will the taste and texture be any different?
No, you won’t notice any changes to the taste and texture of the supplements. You will notice an extra pill—that’s the Iron—so your daily dose is now 4 capsules.
Are the prices changing?
Nope! You’re still getting doctor-backed supplements in easy once-a-day packs at a fraction of the cost of buying all the ingredients separately.
Can I still get the old formula?
No, we’ll be phasing out the old formula and replacing it with the new one.
