The Moment Gut-friendly Prenatal Core is a twice-daily prenatal designed for trying to conceive, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Instead of squeezing everything into one tablet, the formula is split across a morning and an evening sachet, so the more absorbable (and often bulkier) nutrient forms don't have to be swapped for cheaper ones just to save space.
Two things set it apart from many standard prenatals: 280mg of choline in its own capsule, a nutrient many prenatals leave out or include only in token amounts, and gentler mineral forms throughout, with no carbonates or oxides, the forms most often linked to constipation and stomach upset. It's iron-free by design, so you can add iron separately if and when you need it. One pack covers 30 days. Made in a SAHPRA-licensed facility in South Africa and independently tested for safety.
Key Ingredients
| Choline (280mg daily) |
What it does: Supports baby's brain and nervous system development. Why it works: Choline gets its own capsule in the AM sachet. Moment designed the dose so that, alongside an average diet, you reach the recommended daily intake in pregnancy. |
| Quatrefolic® Folate (500mcg) |
What it does: Supports baby's early development and healthy red blood cell formation. Why it works: An active, body-ready form of folate, used directly without the conversion step standard folic acid needs. |
| Omega-3 EPA (450mg) & DHA (300mg) |
What it does: DHA supports baby's brain and eye development; EPA supports your mood and wellbeing. Why it works: Triglyceride-form fish oil in its own softgel, IFOS™ five-star certified for purity and tested for heavy metals. |
| DimaCal® Calcium (250mg), Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) & MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 (90mcg) |
What it does: Supports your bones and your baby's bone development. Why it works: Calcium malate is gentler on digestion than calcium carbonate, and is designed as a top-up to the calcium you get from food. K2 as MK-7 is a longer-acting form. |
| TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate (200mg) |
What it does: Supports normal muscle and nerve function. Why it works: A chelated form that's well absorbed and gentle on digestion, used instead of magnesium oxide. |
| Methylated B Vitamins, Iodine & Selenium |
What it does: Supports your energy, thyroid function and immune system. Why it works: B12 as methylcobalamin and B6 as P5P, the coenzyme forms your body uses directly, with zinc and copper as gentle bisglycinates. |
How to Use
- Take the AM sachet with breakfast or a morning snack, with water.
- Take the PM sachet with dinner or a snack that contains some fat, which helps the omega-3 and fat-soluble vitamins absorb.
- Twist the canister lid after each sachet to mark the day you last took it.
Each AM sachet contains 1 AM capsule and 1 choline capsule. Each PM sachet contains 2 PM capsules, 1 omega-3 softgel and 1 calcium tablet. If your meals are irregular, take each sachet with whatever meal fits your day rather than skipping it.
Best For
The Moment Gut-friendly Prenatal Core is a good option for parents who:
- Are trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding
- Want choline and omega-3 covered in one routine, rather than buying separate supplements
- Have found other prenatals hard on their stomach or constipating
- Already take iron, or prefer to add it only if their levels call for it
It may not be the right fit if you:
- Want iron included in your prenatal, as you'll need a separate iron supplement
- Prefer a single tablet, or find swallowing several capsules a day difficult
- Have a fish allergy, or follow a fully vegetarian or vegan diet (the omega-3 softgel uses fish oil and bovine gelatine)
Good to Know
Contains fish oil and bovine gelatine (omega-3 softgel only; all other capsules are plant-based HPMC). Free from gluten, soy, lactose, sugar and GMOs, and Halal certified. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, keep sachets sealed until use, and keep out of reach of children. Bright yellow urine is common and harmless; it comes from vitamin B2.
A prenatal supplement supports your nutrition, but it doesn't replace antenatal care. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take regular medication (including blood thinners, aspirin, thyroid or heart medication), have a kidney, thyroid or copper-metabolism condition, or have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect. Take antacids at least two hours apart. Statements about this product have not been evaluated by SAHPRA, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Pandylane Pro Tip: If fish oil gives you fishy burps, take your PM sachet with a meal that includes some healthy fat, like avocado, nuts, olive oil or dairy, and stay upright for a while afterwards rather than taking it right before bed.
