In celebration of National Women’s Health Month, Solaray has debuted Liposomal Prenatal, designed to support the foundational nutritional needs of women before and during early pregnancy.

The formula features liposomal vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, including iron, to help support better absorption and gentle digestion, delivering essential nutrients needed during early pregnancy. 

“Finding a prenatal that delivers everything a mother and baby need, without compromise, has historically been a challenge. Many prenatal formulas omit iron entirely because of the digestive discomfort it can cause,” said Rachel Kilroy, director of product innovation at Solaray. “Our liposomal technology changes that equation. By encasing nutrients in a protective lipid barrier designed for optimal absorption and gentle digestion, we were able to formulate a prenatal that includes iron alongside every other essential nutrient, without asking women to choose between complete nutrition and comfort.”

Liposomal Prenatal is the first prenatal from Solaray to feature a fully liposomal blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Created for women who are planning to conceive or in their first trimester, two capsules deliver 17 vitamins and minerals at 100% of the daily recommended value for pregnancy, across 20 liposomal nutrients.

Liposomal technology works by encasing nutrients in a protective lipid barrier, helping them move through the digestive system more efficiently and reach the body where they are needed most.

Key nutrients include:

  • Methylfolate (5‑MTHF): A consumer‑preferred form of folate commonly recommended during pregnancy that is readily utilized by the body to support red blood cell production and nervous system health.
  • Choline: An essential nutrient that supports healthy cell membranes and plays an important role in cell division and important for both mitochondrial membranes and the distribution of fats, providing 20% of the recommended daily value per serving.
  • Iron: Iron supports healthy blood levels and red blood cell production, but it’s often excluded from prenatals due to digestive discomfort properties. Solaray’s liposomal iron is designed for gentle digestion and optimal absorption, so women can get complete prenatal support without the discomfort.
  • Iodine: Iodine provides essential thyroid support during pregnancy.
  • Vitamin B6: Included to support cellular energy metabolism and nerve function.
  • Ginger: Relieves nausea associated with motion sickness

For women who are planning to conceive or breastfeeding, Solaray also recommends complementary choline support in addition to the prenatal. Choline is an essential nutrient involved in cellular structure and early development, yet intake needs can increase during preconception, pregnancy, and lactation. Solaray Choline delivers 100% of the recommended daily value of choline in a liquid-in-capsule format, providing an odor-free and easy-to-take source of this vital nutrient.
