Why we are the best

Formulated by fertility specialists

Daily convenience packs

Ready to absorb ingredients

Gluten-and major allergen-free

Optimal doses

All the benefits

Brain Development

DHA from algae oil is an important Omega-3 Fatty Acid that gets tapped into big time for fetal brain development (and for eye and nervous system development, too!).

Neural Tube Support

You always hear about the importance of Folic Acid to support healthy brain and spine development, but we also include Methylated Folate (5-MTHF), the active form that your body can put to work without any extra conversion steps. Our hybrid Folic Acid + 5-MTHF formula is one-of-a-kind.

Oxygen Boost

A growing babe gets its oxygen via red blood cells, so it’s crucial to get enough blood-building Iron (and its absorption-booster bud Vitamin C).

Enhanced Energy

B-Complex vitamins have a direct link to energy levels—and you’ll need all the pep you can get while big things are happening in your body.

All the good stuff in it

Gentle Essentials (x1)

Stick to the essentials if early-pregnancy has you feeling queasy (you can get the rest later when your stomach is more settled). This small capsule delivers big benefits. A hybrid of Folic Acid and Methylated Folate (5-MTHF, the active form) plus Vitamin B12 support neural tube development while Iron and its absorption-boosting bud Vitamin C build up red blood cells to deliver oxygen to your growing babe. We’ve included B6 to help with the nausea, too.

Algae Oil DHA (Omega-3) (x1)

Every cell in your body needs this Omega-3 Fatty Acid, but it’s not something you produce naturally and many diets fall short. During pregnancy, you need even more DHA because it gets used up fast for fetal brain, nervous system and eye development. Our DHA comes from algae oil so there’s no fishy aftertaste.

Iron (x1)

This easy-to-absorb form of Iron helps your blood transport oxygen, and it’s gentle on the stomach, too. When growing a babe, your volume of blood increases, and your baby uses your red blood cells to grow and develop. So, you need more Iron and vitamins to make those extra red blood cells. You can start building a stockpile of them even before you conceive. Taken before and during pregnancy, Iron supplements are key to helping prevent anemia. They also lower your odds of needing a blood transfusion at delivery, as well as the chance of having a very small baby. You’ll be helping your baby’s Iron levels too, as little ones are more likely to develop anemia in their first year if their birthing parent had iron-deficiency anemia.

What you may be asking yourself right now

What makes The Gentle Prenatal Pack different from all the others?

The Gentle Prenatal Pack is designed for sensitive stomachs and offers all the essential nutrients you need to support your fertility journey or pregnancy without having to worry about queasiness. One sachet includes supplements with key essentials like Folic Acid, Methylated Folate (5-MTHF), Vitamin B12 (all of which support neural tube development), Iron and Vitamin C. As well, this prenatal comes with one vegan DHA capsule to increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids, without the fishy aftertaste!

Fun fact: Our DHA is derived from algae. Algae is the original source of DHA and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid - another omega-3 fatty acid). Many supplements are made with fish oil because fish feed on algae, or eat other fish that consume algae. We’re taking our omega-3s right from the vegan source (and offering a more sustainable choice as a result!)

Do I need to pair The Gentle Prenatal Pack with other Prenatal vitamins?

Nope! The Gentle Prenatal Pack can be taken for as long as needed, as you can be assured that you’re receiving the essential nutrients that your reproductive system needs. You can get the rest later through The Prenatal Essentials for Females when your stomach is more settled!

Why does this product say ‘for females’ instead of ‘for women’? Can I take this if I don't have eggs but I'm pregnant?

However you identify, our products are named for your biology, not your gender. The Gentle Prenatal Pack is inclusive of all individuals with eggs and/or a uterus who are preparing or trying to conceive, or for those who are already pregnant.

Have a specific question about our products? Connect with us at hello@birdandbe.com and we can help match you with the right products for you and/or your partner.

Can I take them all at once?

Yes! It is safe to take them all at once, after a meal, three hours before or after other medication. In the morning, afternoon or at night.

Are these pills easy to swallow?

Yes, The Gentle Prenatal Pack capsules are easy to swallow. The capsules are about 2.2 centimeters in length and 0.7 centimeters in width, designed especially for sensitive stomachs. Added bonus: Our DHA is derived from algae oil so there’s no fishy aftertaste!

Is The Gentle Prenatal Pack vegan?

Yes! The Gentle Prenatal Pack is vegan.

What does B12 do and why do I need so much?

You might’ve noticed that our formula’s 1 mg of Vitamin B12 is well above the amount that’s typically recommended per day in pregnancy. But there are good reasons for that! First, it’s important to understand how crucial B12 is in pregnancy. Along with its better-known counterpart Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 helps keep homocysteine from building up. That’s crucial because high levels of homocysteine have been linked to neural tube defects, pregnancy loss, preterm delivery, restricted fetal growth, preeclampsia and other cardiovascular complications.

Unfortunately, it can be hard for your body to get enough B12 without a little help. In your diet, you can only get it from animal products, and your absorption can be affected by certain autoimmune conditions or even just taking antacids.

Because it’s so critical for pregnancy (and before, so that you can build up enough stores by the time the neural tube develops in early pregnancy!), it’s important to cover your B12 bases with a prenatal supplement. There’s no set upper limit for Vitamin B12 nor is there an established toxic level, but our naturopathic doctors suggest that optimal levels should be much higher than the recommended daily allowance. That’s why we pack 1 mg of a bioavailable form of Vitamin B12 called Methylcobalamin in The Prenatal Essentials for Females, The Power Prenatal for Females and The Gentle Prenatal Pack. Learn more about Vitamin B12 on The Nest.

Can I take this product if I'm taking other medication?

Consult your health care practitioner prior to use if you're taking medication. We suggest spacing out your supplements from medication by at least three hours.

I highly recommend Bird&Be prenatal supplements to all my patients who are trying to conceive. They provide a personalized and convenient approach, which makes their prenatals more efficient and enhances patient compliance.

I'm thrilled for patients to be able to access higher and more effective doses of key ingredients than I've seen in other prenatals - three cheers for choline and CoQ10!

Having an evidence-based approach to fertility-focused supplements is a key component to optimizing success, and it’s great that Bird&Be’s scientifically-backed prenatals are accessible to everyone, regardless of whether they’re seeing a fertility specialist.

Bird&Be has hit all the right marks for prenatal and preconception care. They’ve removed the guesswork from patients' supplement regimes, while emphasizing dose education and including usable, active ingredient forms.

Personalizing the formulas based on the individual's needs makes Bird&Be's supplements much more effective, especially for those who require a much more intensive regimen to support conception.

Prenatal that doesn’t make you sick!

I started off taking a pretty generic brand from a drugstore and felt sick everytime I would take it. I’ve felt absolutely amazing ever since starting this prenatal pack, I also like that they aren’t huge pills to swallow (sometimes omega-3 can be) it’s all been great and whether it’s pregnancy hormones or the prenatals my nails have never been longer and stronger !!

Takes out any guesswork

The daily prepared pack of prenatal vitamins removes any guesswork. You just get what you need, in an easy to swallow form. I take the “gentle” because I have a very sensitive stomach and I have had no issues. With everything else I have to think about through my fertility journey it’s nice to not have to worry about my prenatal vitamin too!

Gentle Prenatal Pack

these are great

i have been enjoying these vitamins as much as a pregnant person can! i love that they don’t have a smell to them so i am able to get them down easier than other vitamins. they are easy on my stomach. i like that they come in a pouch and are ready to go.

Thankful I made the switch

I'm very thankful that I switched to this prenatal after nausea and vomiting for several weeks...my old prenatal definitely wasn't helping. I appreciate that this has methyl-folate and a decent dose of choline as well as having a separate iron pill, which personally given my known adequate iron stores, I skip some days due to worsening stomach issues from iron.

Prenatal of my dreams

This definitely is gentle when they say it is. I had terrible nausea with all the others before I tried this one. I’ll never switch again. Made my first pregnancy less stressful knowing baby was getting everything they needed.

This one goes down a LOT easier!

I had bad nausea first trimester up until the beginning of my second trimester, and I had to pause on prenatals overall during that time. The gentle prenatal pack was the only thing that actually stayed down! It doesn't have a strong scent and easier to take daily since its just 3 pills. I'm super grateful & happy! Highly recommend.

Worth the buy

I have a sensitive stomach even on a daily basis so I struggled to take prenatals. However I found these and they are great! No upset stomach and easy to swallow. Highly recommend!

Easy on the stomach

Love the quantity of each ingredient, and love that this prenatal doesn’t leave me feeling more nauseous. Would recommend to anyone TTC, or any expectant mother!

excellentes vitamines

Elles ont été incroyablement efficaces pour moi. Elles ne provoquent pas les nausées habituelles dues au fer, et je perds même moins de cheveux qu'avant ma grossesse. Je les recommande vivement si les comprimés prénataux classiques vous causent beaucoup de nausées ; ceux-ci sont idéaux.

The perfect prenatal

I switched to this formula from the power pack and would give this one 10 stars. Way better taste, no fishy burps, and doesn’t bother my sensitive stomach. Highly recommend!

super easy on my stomach. no aversions

I like that they are only three pills and are easy on my stomach. I have not gotten nauseous yet so that is good. no funky smell or flavor.

Awesome Prenatal

This is my second pregnancy taking the gentle prenatal and couldn’t recommend it more!

Great starter supplement

I started taking this prenatal about 3 months before we started trying for a baby. As I have never taken iron and didn’t know how I would be able to handle it, also the addition of b6 was nice. The complete pack definitely has more of the essential nutrients for baby but this was a nice pack to start off with just to get my body ready for pregnancy.

Gentle Prenatal Pack

Best decision

At the beginning of my pregnancy I was very nauseous and threw up a ton. After making the switch to the gentle prenatal I instantly began feeling better. I’ve had a smooth pregnancy since the switch and I can only believe it’s because I picked the right prenatal!

Great

I’ve always had issues with prenatal vitamins , when I was doing research I came across these and they have amazing. The shipping was even fast. I love this product and will continue to buy it.

Love it

Delivered to your door I feel good since taking them no stomach irritation and can change delivery dates so easily

Great gentle prenatal!

Love, but shipping delays

Its the best and my body tolerates it beautifully! I did not handle generic prenatals well. There’s been shipping delays specifically with the gentle prenatal and maybe they’re over now but that was disappointing. Still subscribing and taking them :)

We’re so sorry about the recent delays, we know how frustrating and stressful that can be, especially when it’s something you take daily. Some of the delays were unfortunately out of our control, but we’ve now reserved inventory specifically for our subscribers while we work to be fully back in stock, so your orders are prioritized.

We really appreciate you sticking with us and trusting us to be part of your journey.

Gentle Prenatal Pack

Makes prenatal easy!

I had a tendency to forget my vitamins so this made it really easy and nothing in there upset my stomach either, so fewer reasons to “forget” or put off taking them daily. I’m such a fan I’ve now switched over to a post partum option.

The Gentle Prenatal Pack

Love these!

My old Prenatals were making me sick to my stomach. I couldn’t keep them down and if I did I felt nauseous all day and night. Switching to this was a game changer, I could keep them down and I feel like the extra B6 helped curve my nausea. Have continued taking these into the second trimester and probably won’t stop.

Recommend!

Great prenatal for the early weeks when you're experiencing nausea - very gentle on the stomach. I had zero issues with it. Would recommend and would definitely use again.

Love it!

I’m enjoying the gentle prenatal pack! It’s easy on my stomach, gives me all the necessary essentials for my pregnancy, and has an easy ordering system and texts!

I bought this for my wife and it’s been incredible

We are Muslim, and a lot of prenatals and gummy form contain gelatin ( pork). The non-gelatin based prenatals upset her stomach when she’s expecting.

We came across this website and these medications have been incredible. She’s felt energetic, she’s been able to hold them down, and I genuinely love their customer service

Best Prenatal for Sensitive Girlies

Finally! A prenatal that didn't bother my system, but still has everything I needed throughout pregnancy. Wish I had these for my firstborn - this second time around, I had way less tricky pregnancy symptoms and I think this prenatal vitamin had something to do with it! Definitely recommend.
