Moment Gut-friendly Prenatal Core With Iron 30 Day Supply

The Moment Gut-friendly Prenatal Core With Iron pairs Moment's twice-daily Prenatal Core with its Gut-friendly Iron, giving you a complete 30-day prenatal routine for trying to conceive, pregnancy and breastfeeding. The Prenatal Core covers your core nutrients across a morning and an evening sachet, including 280mg of choline and gentler mineral forms with no carbonates or oxides, while the iron comes as a separate capsule of 24mg Ferrochel® chelated iron.

Iron is kept out of the sachets on purpose. The calcium in the PM sachet can reduce iron absorption by up to half if they're taken together, so giving iron its own capsule lets you take it at a different time of day and get more out of it. Both are made by a SAHPRA-licensed, GMP-certified manufacturer in South Africa and independently tested for safety.

Why take them together

• Complete, not compromised: The Prenatal Core is iron-free by design, so if you've been advised to take iron, this bundle fills that gap with a form chosen to be gentle on the gut.
• Timed for better absorption: Keeping iron separate from the calcium-containing PM sachet helps both do their job, rather than competing with each other.
• Gentle on the stomach, start to finish: Both use gut-friendly forms, with chelated minerals in the sachets and Ferrochel® iron, which is designed to avoid the nausea and constipation standard iron is known for.
• Folate, B12 and iron working together: All three support healthy red blood cell formation as your blood volume rises in pregnancy.

Key Ingredients

How to Use

A simple daily rhythm:

1. Morning: Take the AM sachet with breakfast or a morning snack, with water.
2. Between meals: Take one iron capsule with water on an empty stomach (or a small snack if that doesn't agree with you). Avoid tea, coffee and dairy for two hours either side, and add a source of vitamin C, like orange juice, to help absorption.
3. Evening: Take the PM sachet with dinner or a snack that contains some fat, which helps the omega-3 and fat-soluble vitamins absorb. Keep it at least two hours apart from your iron.
4. 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 dose with whatever meal fits your day rather than skipping it.

Best For

The Moment Gut-friendly Prenatal Core With Iron is a good option for parents who:

• Are trying to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding and have been advised to take iron
• Want choline, omega-3 and iron covered in one routine, rather than buying separate supplements
• Have found other prenatals or iron supplements hard on their stomach or constipating

It may not be the right fit if you:

• Don't need extra iron, as the Moment Prenatal Core is also available on its own. It's worth checking your iron levels with your doctor first
• Prefer a single tablet, or find swallowing several capsules a day difficult
• Have a fish allergy, a rice allergy, or follow a fully vegetarian or vegan diet (the omega-3 softgel uses fish oil and bovine gelatine, and the iron capsule contains rice protein)

Good to Know

Free from gluten, soy, lactose, sugar and GMOs, and Halal certified. The omega-3 softgel contains fish oil and bovine gelatine; all other capsules are plant-based HPMC. The iron capsule contains rice protein as an inactive ingredient.

Keep out of reach and sight of children. Accidental iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six. Keep the iron in its original container with the lid tightly closed. If a child swallows any, treat it as a medical emergency and contact a doctor or poison control immediately, even if they seem fine. Not intended for use in children.

Bright yellow urine is common and harmless; it comes from vitamin B2. Dark or black stools are a normal effect of iron. Speak to your doctor if they're sticky or tarry, or come with stomach pain, dizziness or weakness. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and keep sachets sealed until use.

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, heart medication or levothyroxine), have a kidney, thyroid or copper-metabolism condition, an iron overload condition, or anaemia not caused by iron deficiency, or have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect. Take antacids at least two hours apart, and if you use acid-reducing medicines such as proton pump inhibitors regularly, check with your healthcare provider.

Pandylane Pro Tip: The easiest way to keep iron and calcium apart is to give each a fixed slot: AM sachet with breakfast, iron mid-morning with a small glass of orange juice, and PM sachet with dinner. Setting a phone reminder for the iron for the first week helps the routine stick.
