MADE FOR MOTHERHOOD
Designed for your day
Morning sachet
Your AM sachet is formulated for energy and clarity. It includes Quatrefolic® folate, choline, B12 and more to keep you feeling focused, while supporting your baby's brain and spinal cord development.
Evening sachet
Your PM sachet is formulated for rest and recovery. It includes bioavailable, gentle calcium, magnesium, D3 and K2 to support your bones and muscles, plus omega-3 for baby's brain, eyes and nerves.
Daily tracker
After taking each sachet, twist the lid of your canister to mark the day you last took it. It's a small but impactful ritual that keeps your supplement routine on track and means one less thing for you to remember.
On the go
Slip a sachet in your bag and take it with you. Unlike pill organisers, which expose supplements to oxygen, humidity and light, the sealed sachet keeps your dose fresh until the moment you open it.
FIRST CUSTOMER AND CO-FOUNDER
We built the prenatal
I had been looking for
It hadn't been a quick road to pregnancy, and by the time I was,
I wanted to give my body and baby the best possible start.
I found myself standing in aisles comparing labels, second-guessing
doses, never quite sure I'd got it right. It meant months of taking five
different supplements just to get the quality and dosage I needed.
So, we worked with various experts across maternal health
and complementary medicine and built the prenatal that
I had been looking for.
Now I have a prenatal I trust, recommend and take every day,
even now, while breastfeeding.

EXPERT REVIEW
"A great formulation
I'm really happy to see in the market"
Hannah Kaye - Director at Inspire Health
On AM & PM sachets
"From a supplement perspective, it's very difficult to fit everything a pregnancy multi needs into a single tablet or capsule, and when brands try, it's usually the nutrient forms that get compromised for the sake of space, meaning poorer absorption. Splitting the formula across AM and PM sachets means Moment uses forms that your body is much more likely to safely utilise."
On ingredient forms
"Magnesium as TRAACS bisglycinate, methylcobalamin B12, P5P B6, and Quatrefolic folate are all forms the body can actually use, especially important in pregnancy when methylation demands increase. Zinc and copper as bisglycinates minimise the gut irritation some other forms cause, which is helpful when the risk of nausea from supplements is high. I also love that choline gets its own capsule, addressing a nutrient most prenatals often skip."
On Iron being optional
"Iron is separated out, so you're not stuck taking a fixed dose regardless of your ferritin, and Ferrochel is gentle enough for sensitive stomachs."
Product information
What does bioavailability mean?
Bioavailability is how much of a nutrient your body can actually absorb and use, as opposed to how much is printed on the label. Cheaper forms like magnesium oxide or ferrous sulfate pass through the body largely unused, and often cause the stomach upset that gives supplements a bad reputation. We use forms like chelated minerals, Quatrefolic® Folate, Triglyceride Omega-3 and Methylated B-Vitamins because they're absorbed more efficiently and gently, so more of what's in the sachet ends up doing something for you.
Quatrefolic® is a Registered Trademark of Gnosis S.p.A.
Why isn't the Prenatal Core a single tablet?
We prioritise efficacy over tablet count. This means formulating for impactful dosages and highly bioavailable, gentle nutrient forms. These forms are often bulkier and occupy more space in a capsule. They also require strategic separation for optimal absorption, so we split them into morning and evening doses. To minimise the fuss for you, we pre-pack our capsules, tablets and softgels into twice-daily sachets.
Why should I switch to Moment's Prenatal Core?
Most women are doing one of two things. They're taking a single mass-market prenatal that leans on token doses of the expensive nutrients, misses key ones like Choline or Omega-3, and uses cheaper forms that are harder to absorb. Or, they've built their own stack, a basic prenatal plus an Omega-3, Magnesium, and a Choline, to get what one product doesn't deliver alone. Both have trade-offs: the first compromises on what actually reaches your body; the second is expensive, complicated, and easy to skip.
Our Prenatal Core is one product using bioavailable forms (Quatrefolic® Folate, chelated minerals, Methylated B-Vitamins) at evidence-based dosages all in two sachets a day. You can also decide if and when you want to add iron.
What if my gynae recommended a different prenatal?
Your gynaecologist's recommendation is a reasonable starting point, though it's often a practice default rather than a choice tailored to your specific needs. Most doctors are willing to review an alternative if you raise it directly, so it's worth a brief conversation.
Our products are formulated to a standard that withstands scrutiny: manufactured at a SAHPRA-licensed facility, using evidence-based dosages and ingredient forms supported by published research, with third-party testing for safety.
Why is Iron sold separately?
Not every woman needs extra Iron. Some already get enough from their diet, and others now top up through other methods, like sprays or IV drips, rather than an oral capsule. Keeping our Iron separate means you can buy it and take it only when you actually need it. It also avoids the absorption competition between Iron and the Calcium included in the PM sachet.
When you do need it, consider our Gut-friendly Iron. We use Ferrochel® Ferrous Bisglycinate, a gentler, chelated form that performs like a much larger dose of standard Iron, without the nausea and constipation iron is known for. Because it's single-ingredient, it's easy to stack as its own dosing event, ideally on an empty stomach or with a small snack, so nothing else interferes with how well it's absorbed.
Ferrochel® is a registered trademark of Balchem or one of its subsidiaries.
How does Moment decide on its dosages?
Every dose is set by the research, not by what looks good on a label. Where a nutrient has good evidence at a certain dose, that's what we use, and where the safe upper limit is narrow, like Iodine, Selenium or Vitamin A, we stay well within it rather than push the ceiling.
We also avoid two shortcuts common in this category; token doses, where an expensive nutrient is added in an amount too small to do anything, and megadoses, where a bigger number is used to look more impressive without added benefit.
Usage and safety
Are Moment supplements safe to take during conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Our supplements are formulated specifically for conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Every dose is chosen to sit within recognised pregnancy intake limits, and the ingredient forms are selected for better absorption and gentler tolerance. As with any supplement in this journey, we recommend confirming with your healthcare provider before starting, particularly if you have a medical condition, take medication, or have a complex medical history.
When should I start taking the Prenatal Core, and how long should I take it for?
We recommend starting as early as 3 months before conception, since folate and other nutrients need time to build up before pregnancy begins. Folate in particular helps lower the risk of neural tube defects, which form in the earliest weeks, often before a woman even knows she's pregnant.
From there, our Prenatal Core carries you through pregnancy, when your baby draws directly on your nutrient stores and into breastfeeding, when those stores continue to be depleted. Many women continue for up to two years postpartum, in line with WHO guidance on breastfeeding duration. Your body keeps giving nutrients to your baby for as long as you breastfeed, so replenishing them should not stop at birth.
Why does SAHPRA matter?
SAHPRA is the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, the body responsible for regulating health products sold in the country. Many supplements sold in South Africa aren't manufactured at SAHPRA-licensed facilities, which means there's no local oversight of how they're made. Our products are produced at a SAHPRA-licensed, GMP-certified facility, and our doses and ingredient forms are chosen in line with SAHPRA's Annexure D guidance on vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Note that our supplements are unregistered medicines and have not been evaluated by SAHPRA for their quality, safety, or intended use. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
SAHPRA does not register all health products at once. Instead, they use a system called "Call-Up Notices". Think of it as a waiting list: SAHPRA slowly calls up different categories of health products one by one to officially submit their registration papers.
Because the vast majority of general health supplements have not been officially "called up" yet, SAHPRA is not currently accepting or evaluating registration applications for them. Until our specific category is called up, our products legally cannot be registered.
What does Moment third-party test for?
Our products are tested by an international independent lab. Testing covers microbial safety (bacterial, yeast, and mould contamination), heavy metals (including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury), and Listeria, which carries particular risks in pregnancy. Our testing is done by Light Labs, an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. You can find the lab results on each product page.
Can I use Moment supplements alongside other medications or supplements?
As with any supplement, check with your healthcare provider first, especially if you're taking other medication.
