How to read your prenatal label in 2 minutes 🔍

The expert checklist so you never get it wrong again

Choosing a prenatal supplement is a bit like choosing a sunscreen: it all comes down to the label. Here are the 6 criteria that perinatal nutrition experts look at — to help you see things clearly in 2 minutes.

Pack grossesse fer Jolly Mama – Baby Bump (multivitamines, DHA, choline) + Iron Mama (fer hautement assimilable)

The key points

Folates: active (5-MTHF) or synthetic (folic acid)?

✅ Look for: "5-MTHF", "Quatrefolic®", "Metafolin®" 400 µg.
More than 40% of women have a variation of the MTHFR gene that limits the conversion of synthetic folic acid. Active folates are directly bioavailable.
🚩 "Folic acid" or "pteroylmonoglutamic acid" alone.
DHA: minimum 200 mg/day — in a separate capsule

DHA contributes to the brain and visual development of the baby (EFSA recommendation for pregnancy).
✅ The rule: a separate capsule.
⚠️ When mixed with vitamins and minerals (iron, copper, vitamin C), DHA oxidises before being consumed.
🚩 No DHA, dosage < 100 mg, or DHA mixed into multivitamins.
✨ Bonus: purity (Friend of the Sea®, IFOS), stability (Qualitysilver®).
Iodine

✅ Contributes to the baby's brain and cognitive development, alongside folates (adequate intake per EFSA: 480 mg/day).
✅ Bonus: Vitacholine™, a well-researched patented form.
🚩 The majority of French prenatal supplements do not contain it.
Choline

✅ Contributes to the cerebral and cognitive development of the baby, alongside folates (adequate intake per EFSA: 480 mg/day).
✅ Bonus: Vitacholine™, a well-studied patented form.
🚩 The majority of French prenatal supplements do not contain it.
B and D vitamins in active forms

✅ B6: pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P) B12: methylcobalamin ( 🚩 not cyanocobalamin)
✅ B2: riboflavin-5-phosphate (R-5-P) D3 (cholecalciferol), ideally with K2 (MK-7)
Directly usable, with no conversion step required by the liver.
Purity & traceability

✅ Free from nanoparticles (titanium dioxide, nano silicon)
✅ Free from iron oxide and unnecessary colorants
✅ Batches tested in an independent laboratory
✅ Made in France or traceable European origin
✅ Glass jar
🚩 Lengthy excipient list.

Why choose Baby Bump?

Because pregnancy is a period when the need for several nutrients increases (ANSES), we created Baby Bump, the ultra-complete 3-in-1 food supplement (multivitamins, DHA, choline).
