Genate’s Essential Prenatal is designed with the most bioavailable nutrients in the correct amounts for your baby’s development and your health. If you have higher needs or require a different form of certain nutrients, you’ll know from your Genate Test, allowing you to adjust your nutrition and supplementation as needed for your unique body!

Imagine a world where moms have more control over their health and their babies’ cognitive development. Where maternal health isn’t just a hashtag–it’s something that really matters. This is the dream Genate is turning into a reality.

Through personalized nutrition insights, Genate helped me learn exactly how my body processes–and struggles to process–different essential vitamins and nutrients. Their focus is on the nutrients that are most essential for baby’s cognitive development, making them a DREAM for moms who’re trying to conceive, pregnant, or nursing. And they didn’t stop there–they gave me personalized recommendations for how to adjust my daily intakes, and their new prenatal vitamin adjusts to the needs they see most often in moms. 

Their approach isn’t just about supplements or tests; it’s about understanding and nurturing our unique bodies during some of life’s most crucial phases. Genate gives me hope for a future where every mother can feel empowered and supported in her healthcare.
