An Organic, Whole-Food Complexed Multi-Vitamin that’s Formulated for Mom and Baby
It’s important to nourish yourself and your baby with whole-food sources of nutrition because that’s what the body seeks and understands. We’ve all heard the saying, “you are what you eat”—the same should apply to your daily multi-vitamin. Each Perfect Multivitamin+ combines the perfect whole-food complexed nutrients with the perfect compounds—organic herbs, vegetables, fruits—to create the perfect multi just for you.
Whole Food that's Gentle on Your Stomach
Many conventional multi-vitamins are synthetic, chemical "isolates" that lack the whole-food benefits found in nature. It’s no wonder they can upset your stomach. But New Chapter vitamins are easy on your stomach because they’re whole-food complexed—cultured in probiotics with organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
You can even take them on an empty stomach. It’s nutrition your body easily recognizes and absorbs, the way nature intended.
Certified Organic
Each of New Chapter’s whole-food complexed multi-vitamins is independently certified organic. The whole-food ingredients are grown without the use of added chemical pesticides, herbicide residues, or genetic engineering. New Chapter believes organic nutrition is better for people and better for the environment. While many conventional multi-vitamins list vitamins as “food-based” ingredients, they cannot be third-party certified organic unless they are truly whole food.
Non-GMO
New Chapter has long been committed to rooting out genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In fact, New Chapter multi-vitamins are the first in the Natural Products industry to achieve Non-GMO Project Verification.
Probiotics—the Good Bacteria Every Body Needs
All of New Chapter’s multi-vitamins are initially cultured with probiotics, the beneficial organisms every body needs, transforming each nutrient into a whole-food complex your body easily recognizes and absorbs. Because your body can so easily recognize these nutrients, these multi-vitamins are so gentle that you can even take them on an empty stomach!
Formulated for You
The nutrient needs of everyone can be vastly different depending on one’s life stage and specific health needs. Whether you’re looking for balanced energy, immune system support, or support for a healthy pregnancy, New Chapter’s formulation team understands the power of each nutrient and takes exacting care in creating multi-vitamins targeted to your specific needs. Which multi-vitamin is perfect for you?

Customer Reviews
Also, if you are breast feeding let me save you days (and hopefully not weeks) of frustration. Many times breast-feeding becomes very stressful and producing enough milk is not always the easiest task. I have tried every breast milk producing supplement (and device, long story!) known to man and the quickest and easiest remedy I found has been blessed thistle and fenugreek (Nature's Way Blessed Thistle (390mg) 100 Capsules + FREE Fenugreek (610mg) 100 Capsules). Good luck mothers and mothers-to-be, every second is worth it in the end!
Within three days to a week of taking them, I was shocked at how much of an energy increase I noticed, and how much my mood and overall well-being increased. It was almost like I was truly awake and alive for the first time in years. I was almost hyper at first, but it was a welcomed change to feeling sluggish and tired constantly. After a couple weeks I no longer felt hyper at all, just much healthier, happier, and more energetic.
After reading the reviews on here, I became slightly concerned about these vitamins not passing the dissolve test. I decided to do a little research. New Chapter explains why these do not pass the test, and why it does not take away from the nutritional value in our body.
Here is a response to someone else who asked the same question:
"Thank you for your inquiry and for your interest in New Chapter supplements. Probiotic Nutrients, including Perfect Prenatal, are not your standard vitamin and mineral isolates. They are whole food! Because each tablet contains 30% protein and because we do not add chemical excipients to aid in their breakdown (a requirement for organic certification), they generally take longer than USP nutrients to dissolve, however, they always disintegrate within an acceptable amount of time with respect to the USP standards.
When claims were made in 2005 that New Chapter's Perfect Prenatal failed dissolution testing by Consumer Labs, New Chapter's president, Tom Newmark, was invited to defend the perfect status of our prenatal vitamin in an interview with CNN. He explained that New Chapter subjects each and every batch of our Probiotic Nutrients to standard USP disintegration testing and has the passing test results available for consumers to see. (For a complete description of this testing method, please see the attached document.) The station later removed our name from their website after documentation proved the claims made were unjustified. Since then, other news stations and publications have picked up the original story, but have failed to report it in full.
Additionally, Perfect Prenatal has been accused of not disintegrating when placed in a glass of warm vinegar. This kind of test is inappropriate for testing what happens when you swallow a complex whole food product such as ours. Remember, the pH of the stomach is around 1, while that of vinegar is 3-4. Additionally, HCL isn't the only thing responsible for breaking down and liberating nutrients from their natural protein binding in food; proteolytic enzymes also play an essential role, not to mention the fact that contractions of stomach muscles churns it all together to make a food slurry called chyme.
The `vinegar test' is designed for the isolated nutrients bound together by chemical binders. So, while it may be fun to watch chemical forms of vitamins dissolve in a glass of vinegar, you would be waiting a very long time, perhaps even forever, for a carrot or a piece of spinach or blueberries to dissolve in this fashion.
As New Chapter's Quality Control Director, Brad Marr, explains, "The test method used by the TV station could very well hold the product together. Vinegar and water solution could result in a pH at or near the protein's iso-electric point, similar to the curdling of cheese. A better performance comparison to our products would have been a chunk of cheddar cheese, a piece of steak, or a type of food with a similar protein, fat and carbohydrate make-up."
In addition to this standard disintegration testing, New Chapter has worked with an independent laboratory to create a testing procedure that more closely replicates what happens in the stomach environment (proteolytic enzymes and pH 1 HCL solution). All samples tested by using this method confirm that Probiotic Nutrients disintegrate well within the typical human stomach/intestine digestion time. Furthermore, a longer disintegration time is a good thing, nutrients are best utilized within the body over longer periods of time, rather than in the short spikes that isolated nutrients provide, which flood the body with single nutrients and can result in biphasic activity (including possible side effects).
We hope this information has quelled any concern. As the only organic whole food prenatal in the world, we think you have chosen the best and safest prenatal that has ever been."
Just thought everyone would like to know.
