Question 1

Do they contain Folic acid?

Accepted Answer

I emailed them to find out if it was Folate or Folic Acid.  This was their response:Thank you for your email and interest in Garden of Life's products.  Our products contain Folate and not Folic Acid.  The Folate used in our Vitamin Code formulas is in a whole food form grown as a RAW Food-Created Nutrient.

Question 2

What is the serving size?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Saydee,  The recommended serving size for the Garden of Life RAW Prenatal multi is three capsules. You can take one capsule three times per day (with or without food), or take all three at once. Or, if you prefer, you can also open the capsules and add the contents to water or raw juice. I hope this helps!  Thanks,Noelle K. Garden of Life

Question 3

Is the folate in the pills Methylfolate? Where do they get the folate from?

Accepted Answer

The Folate in our Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal is not labeled as methyl-folate, and therefore we are unable to claim that it is.

The Folate in our Vitamin Code Products is in a whole food form, made with RAW Food-Created Nutrients. This process utilizes a single isolated vitamin or mineral that is fed to the yeast or probiotic. A specific peptide designed for that particular nutrient is then introduced, in order to allow the nutrient to be metabolized (or absorbed) through the yeast's cell wall.

This process mimics nature, just like when a plant takes an inorganic mineral salt that is naturally occurring in the soil (selenium, for example), and absorbs it into its roots, the plant becomes rich in selenium. This process is conducted with two distinct organisms: S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast) and L. bulgaricus (probiotic culture used in traditional yogurt recipes which is non-dairy).

I hope this helps!

Question 4

Do the 180caps jars contain"vitex"?if so, I've read that it alters a woman's cycle.Wld that mean the woman will just sched ttc based on new cycle?

Accepted Answer

I would like to let you know that we recently made some slight adjustments to the Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal formula and updated the label to accommodate the FDA's new RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) requirements for Vitamins and Minerals.

While the packaging may vary during this interim period, the new Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal formula contains Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) from Sunflower Oil, rather than Vitex-extracted Vitamin E.

It's important to note that Vitex was not added as a direct ingredient to our Vitamin Code Raw Prenatal; rather it was the source of Vitamin E, which was extracted from the Vitex. Therefore, if any Vitex was present, it would have been in a trace amount.

This product is Non-GMO Project Verified, Raw, Gluten Free, and Certified Kosher, and contains no artificial colors or preservatives.

I hope you find this information helpful.
Take care,
