1. Quatrefolic Active Folate

Chemical Form: (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Glucosamine Salt

• Mechanism: A bioactive form of folate designed to bypass the need for MTHFR-mediated conversion of folic acid, entering cellular folate pathways directly.

• Clinical Benefit: Supports cellular DNA methylation, cell division, and proper early fetal development, including neural tube closure.

• Formulation Role: Provides a bioavailable folate source to support adequate folate status before conception.

2. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Chemical Form: Fermented Bio-Identical Ubiquinone

• Mechanism: Functions as an electron transporter in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, supporting cellular ATP production.
• Clinical Benefit: Supports cellular energy production and antioxidant activity, including in reproductive cells.
• Formulation Role: Provides a mitochondrial cofactor to support cellular energy requirements during preconception planning.

3. Astaxanthin

Chemical Form: Natural Haematococcus pluvialis Microalgae Extract

• Mechanism: A carotenoid antioxidant with a molecular structure that allows it to interact with lipid membranes and help neutralize reactive oxygen species.

• Clinical Benefit: Helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports cellular membrane integrity.

• Formulation Role: Provides antioxidant support to help maintain cellular health and protect against oxidative damage.

4. Liposomal Iron

Chemical Form: Microencapsulated Ferric Pyrophosphate

• Mechanism: Uses a lipid-based encapsulation system designed to support iron delivery and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

• Clinical Benefit: Helps maintain adequate iron stores and supports hemoglobin formation, which are important for maternal health before and during pregnancy.

• Formulation Role: Provides iron to support maternal iron requirements while aiming to improve gastrointestinal tolerability.

5. Zinc Bisglycinate

Chemical Form: Chelated Bioavailable Mineral

• Mechanism: A zinc chelate in which zinc is bound to glycine molecules, designed to support mineral absorption and tolerability.

• Clinical Benefit: Zinc supports DNA synthesis, normal reproductive function, immune function, and numerous enzyme activities involved in cellular replication.

• Formulation Role: Provides zinc to support normal cellular function, reproductive health, and immune defenses.

6. Active Vitamin B12

Chemical Form: Methylcobalamin (Bioactive Coenzyme)

• Mechanism: A biologically active form of vitamin B12 that acts as a cofactor for methionine synthase and supports homocysteine remethylation.

• Clinical Benefit: Supports normal cell division, red blood cell formation, and neurological development during pregnancy.

• Formulation Role: Works alongside folate in one-carbon metabolism and supports normal folate utilization.

7. Vitamin D3

Chemical Form: Cholecalciferol (Bioactive Vitamin D)

• Mechanism: Vitamin D3 is converted into an active hormone that binds to vitamin D receptors (VDR) in various tissues, including reproductive tissues.

• Clinical Benefit: Supports calcium and phosphorus balance, bone health, immune function, and normal physiological processes relevant to reproductive health.

• Formulation Role: Provides vitamin D to support maternal nutritional status and normal endocrine function.

8. Iodine

Chemical Form: Potassium Iodide

• Mechanism: Supplies iodine, an essential component required by the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

• Clinical Benefit: Supports normal thyroid function and maternal thyroid hormone production, which are important for fetal neurological development.

• Formulation Role: Provides iodine to help maintain adequate iodine intake and support normal thyroid function before and during pregnancy.
