MegaFood Baby & Me 2 Prenatal Vitamin
by MegaFood
"Whole-food prenatal with methylfolate, choline, and gentle iron — doctor recommended for sensitive stomachs"
Overview
MegaFood Baby & Me 2 is a premium whole-food prenatal vitamin that uses FoodState nutrients — vitamins and minerals bound to whole foods for better absorption and gentler digestion. The formula includes 600mcg methylfolate (not folic acid), 300mg choline (a nutrient most prenatals lack but is critical for fetal brain development), 18mg gentle iron from beet root, and vitamin D3. MegaFood's whole-food approach means nutrients come paired with their natural cofactors, mimicking how they appear in food. This is one of the few prenatals that includes meaningful choline.

Our Verdict
MegaFood Baby & Me 2 is the premium prenatal for mothers who want whole-food nutrition. The inclusion of 300mg choline is a major differentiator — choline is critical for fetal brain development but absent from most prenatals. The gentle, food-based iron won't upset sensitive stomachs.
