- 500mcg of folinic acid, to support healthy nervous system development

Perdays’ prenatal product comes in an innovative format called Nutriseal-Caps™. This capsule-in-capsule technology is the first of its kind to be manufactured in Australia. A revolutionary capsule-in-capsule format that ensures nutrients are effectively absorbed by the body through time delay and pH-dependent technology.
Perdays supports women to achieve optimal health and prevent nutritional gaps with their growing range of specialty products.

Real customer reviews:
"Firstly, the bottle is amazing! The little capsules look very “sciencey”. but the main reason I chose this product is because I know the ingredients will be absorbed. When I read about the 2-layer capsule and the better folic acid, it made total sense to try it. So glad I did! Feeling great. Easy to swallow plus peace of mind that I’m absorbing the nutrients that my baby needs." - Stephanie (perdays.com.au)
"Being a first-time mum, I wanted to ensure that I did plenty of research before using a pregnancy multivitamin and was relieved when I was finally recommended Perdays. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and I have been using both the probiotic and key essentials for a number of months. I have been extremely happy with both of the Perdays products. The capsules are easy to swallow and I have had no issues taking the probiotic in the morning without food. From an ingredients perspective, it had everything I was looking for and more. I will continue to use both of these products until I give birth and highly recommend these based on my experience so far." - Loredana (perdays.com.au)

Real customer reviews:
"I am seven months postpartum and have been taking these supplements since birth. I am feeling so much more myself in this postpartum recovery period compared to my first where I was diagnosed with postnatal depletion. This time there is no brain fog, my mood is level, my energy levels are surprisingly good and the tiredness is not getting to me as much. I’ve just had some bloods taken and my naturopath is amazed! There is nothing to correct! I am vegetarian and breastfeeding too so that seems pretty impressive to me. I’m very happy I found Bump Plus!" - Gemma, Burleigh Heads, QLD
"My iron has always fallen within the normal range so I need to watch which supplements I take to not over do it. I'm so happy to have found a prenatal without iron, it makes it so easy for me. Will definitely buy again." - Kylie, Black Rock, VIC

Its formula is iron-free by design, allowing for personalised iron supplementation based on individual needs, and is enhanced with 600 mg of Kakadu Plum per dose, a native antioxidant powerhouse rich in vitamin C and polyphenols to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Why should you try Land Lab Mother Dose™?
Mother Dose™ is more than just a prenatal supplement, it’s a thoughtfully crafted health solution that adapts to your pregnancy journey.

Real Customer Reviews:
“Searched far and wide and FOUND HER. I did SO much research, knew what I wanted/didn’t want in a prenatal, and Land Lab was the only one to tick the boxes! Not only that but they go above and beyond with everything from their ingredients to their customer service. LOVE.” - Lil
“I recommended Land Lab in my first appointment with a fertility specialist (Gynaecologist) last week, not because I thought they were doing anything special for me (I was just happy not to be reacting badly to them, tbh) but because they are a special company with brilliant ingredients and principles etc. and I respect that so much. 3 days later, I found out, (after only a month on Land Lab, and a year of trying) that I am pregnant. Coincidence? Maybe. Wonderful product either way? Absolutely.” - B.

A supplement created with real mums in mind
When you're growing a tiny human, support matters, and not just any kind. Mother Natal Complete Support was created by someone who understands the full pregnancy picture: fertility naturopath, clinical nutritionist and mum of two, Ema Taylor. Ema has spent over a decade supporting women through every stage - from preconception to postpartum.
This isn’t just another off-the-shelf multivitamin. It’s a practitioner-designed formula built from what’s missing in many mainstream prenatals, and developed to meet the actual needs seen in-clinic every day.
What makes Mother Natal Complete Support different?
Mother Natal Complete Support contains 29 carefully chosen nutrients — more than many standard prenatals on the market — with no shortcuts on quality, format, or dosage. Every ingredient earns its place, supporting you from preconception through to postpartum.
The formula features bioavailable, practitioner-preferred nutrient forms — including active B vitamins and gentle iron — to help support absorption and reduce common side effects like nausea or constipation.
Here are just a few of the hero ingredients that make this pregnancy supplement stand out:
- Folic acid (400 mcg): Included at the amount recommended by leading health bodies (TGA, WHO, RACGP, CDC), to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken before and during early pregnancy.
- Methylfolate (Quatrefolic®): The active form of folate, used in practitioner settings for better absorption — especially helpful for those with MTHFR gene variations.
- Choline (350 mg): A powerhouse nutrient essential for baby’s brain development — Choline is included at a clinically meaningful level to support healthy brain development and cognitive function in early pregnancy — a nutrient often missing or underdosed in many prenatals.
- Iron bisglycinate: A gentle form of iron that supports energy and blood health without causing constipation or nausea.
- Vitamin B6: Supports energy, hormonal balance, and nervous system health — and is included at a level that allows Mother Natal to carry a permitted morning sickness relief claim. A rare and welcome feature for mums navigating those queasy early weeks.
- Chelated minerals: Practitioner-preferred forms like cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) mean less irritation, better uptake, and more impact.
Whether you're navigating nausea, working on recovery, or simply want to feel like you're doing the best you can - this formula was built to truly support you.
What mums are saying

FAQs About Prenatal Vitamins in Australia
1. What are the best prenatal vitamins in Australia?
The best prenatal vitamin depends on your individual health needs, diet, stage of pregnancy and healthcare advice. In Australia, prenatal supplements commonly include folic acid or folate, iodine, iron, vitamin D and other nutrients that may help support increased nutritional needs before and during pregnancy. Always compare labels carefully and speak with your GP, midwife, obstetrician or pharmacist before starting a supplement.
2. When should you start taking prenatal vitamins?
Many healthcare professionals recommend starting key pregnancy supplements before conception, ideally at least one month before trying to conceive. Folic acid is particularly important in early pregnancy, often before many people know they are pregnant. Iodine is also commonly recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, unless they have thyroid concerns and need medical advice first.
3. What ingredients should a prenatal vitamin contain?
A prenatal vitamin may include nutrients such as folic acid or folate, iodine, vitamin D, iron, B vitamins and sometimes omega-3 or choline. However, not everyone needs the same supplement or dosage. For example, iron, vitamin D, B12, calcium and omega-3 needs can vary depending on diet, blood test results and medical history, so personalised advice is recommended.
4. Are prenatal vitamins necessary during pregnancy?
Prenatal vitamins can help support increased nutritional needs during pregnancy, but they should not replace a balanced diet or medical care. In Australia, folic acid and iodine are commonly recommended before and during pregnancy, while other supplements may be advised based on individual needs. Your healthcare provider can help determine which nutrients are appropriate for you.
5. What’s the difference between folic acid and methylfolate?
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate and has strong evidence for helping reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken before and during early pregnancy. Methylfolate is another form used in some prenatal supplements, but the best option may depend on your individual circumstances. Speak with your healthcare provider before switching forms or choosing higher-dose folate products.
6. Can prenatal vitamins help with fertility?
Prenatal vitamins are not fertility treatments and should not be described as improving fertility. They are usually taken before conception to support nutritional status and help prepare for pregnancy. Nutrients such as folic acid and iodine are important around conception and early pregnancy, but anyone experiencing difficulty conceiving should speak with a GP, fertility specialist or qualified healthcare professional.
7. Are gummy prenatal vitamins as effective as capsules?
Gummy prenatal vitamins may be easier to tolerate for some people, especially during nausea, but they can differ from capsules or tablets in nutrient type and dosage. Some gummies may contain lower levels of certain nutrients, such as iron, because of formulation and taste limitations. Always check the supplement facts panel and ask a healthcare professional whether it meets your needs.
8. How do I choose the best prenatal vitamin for me?
Choose a prenatal vitamin based on your stage of pregnancy, diet, medical history, blood test results and healthcare advice. Look at the amounts and forms of key nutrients, including folic acid or folate and iodine, and check whether extra iron, vitamin D, B12 or omega-3 is appropriate for you. Always follow label directions and seek professional advice before starting.
