Our Verdict
Ritual Essential Prenatal is the premium choice for modern moms — methylated folate, vegan DHA, and a delayed-release capsule that actually addresses the #1 prenatal complaint (nausea). The choline dose is low, so consider supplementing separately. The transparent supply chain and clean formulation justify the premium for those who value ingredient traceability.
