Frequent Questions
Essential Prenatal was designed with 12 key nutrients for women who are thinking about, trying, or who are currently pregnant. If you’re not trying or are currently pregnant, Essential for Women 18+ is the way to go!
Ritual offers flexible options to fit your needs:
1-Month Subscription: Enjoy automatic monthly deliveries every 30 days for consistent replenishment and convenience.

Each batch of our multivitamins is tested for identity, purity, strength, and composition so we can be sure that what’s on the label is what’s in the capsules. We also complete third-party testing to help ensure our products are compliant with regulations and guidelines for heavy metals, microbes, and major allergens and to help assure the quality and safety of our products. Essential Prenatal has been independently certified for quality and purity. It is Non-GMO Project Verified.
The bottle for Essential Prenatal is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and is made of #1 PET plastic, which is highly recyclable curbside. The caps on our multivitamin bottles are #5 and are made of polypropylene.
Additionally, your first month is shipped in a recyclable box, and recurring orders are shipped in mailers made from 100% recycled content (the paper used to make our mailers is 100% garbage-repurposed newsprint and plant fibers). Any collateral included is also made of 100% recycled materials.
Supporting key nutrient needs before and during pregnancy is what's important. While many people feel a difference, some don’t, and that’s okay. It’s what’s happening inside that counts. Blood-building nutrients Iron, Folate, and Vitamin B12 contribute to red blood cell formation, while Vitamin D supports normal immune function.*
