12 Traceable Ingredients
Folate
We include methylated folate as 5-MTHF from Italy, the active form of folic acid to support folate adequacy.*
Omega-3 DHA
We use a vegan-certified form from Canada, made from microalgae—because it’s better for the environment than fish oil.
Vitamin B12
We opted for a vegan-certified form from UK, sustainably-harvested lichen, as opposed to non-animal friendly sources like sheep’s wool or fish liver.
Choline
Over 90% of pregnant women are not getting enough choline from the diet.* We opted for a vegan-certified form from UK, sustainably-harvested lichen.
Iodine
Iodine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.* Our Iodine is a USP-grade form from Potassium Iodide from Utah.
Biotin
Marginal biotin shortfalls are common during pregnancy.* Our form is a pure, USP-grade nature-identical Biotin is from New Jersey.
Vitamin D3
We opted for a vegan-certified form from UK, sustainably-harvested lichen, as opposed to non-animal friendly sources like sheep’s wool or fish liver.
Iron
We chose a chelated form from Utah - that’s backed by decades of human studies—plus, it’s shown to be gentle on the stomach, unlike other forms.
Boron
Boron is a calcium-helper nutrient.*
We use calcium fructoborate—a form found in food— from Illinois, because it’s supported by clinical studies.
Vitamin E
We use a soy-free, mixed tocopherols source from Argentina, that matches the composition of Vitamin E found in healthy foods.*
Vitamin K2
Vitamin K helps support bone health.*
Our bioavailable form comes from Norway, pure non-soy K2MK7 that can be difficult to find in food.
Magnesium
Magnesium help support normal muscle contraction.* We chose a chelated form that’s backed by clinical studies to be better absorbed by your body.
What is Made Traceable?
We define traceability as a sense of accountability when it comes to the impact we have on our customers and the planet. You can trace the decision-making process behind our ingredients, from scientist, supplier to the countries they’re sourced.
Why does the oil color change from time to time?
Your multivitamin can come in many shades of gold. Our soy-free Vitamin E, a nutrient that provides antioxidant support against free radicals, comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina and can have natural, seasonal color variability from lot to lot.*
What kind of testing do you do?
Each batch is tested for identity, purity, strength, & composition, so we can be sure that what’s on the label is what’s in the capsules. We also use a 3rd party lab to test each batch for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants.
