| 0:00.0 | Welcome to my mommy's podcast. This episode is sponsored by ritual multivitamins and prenatal. |
| 0:09.6 | These are really important because 95% of pregnant women are not getting the recommended intake of certain key nutrients including omega 3s and ritual contains 350 milligrams of omega 3 in every serving as well as many of the other important things that |
| 0:24.7 | pregnant women need. This is really important because the first 28 days of |
| 0:28.8 | pregnancy are vital to a baby's neural development, so there's no such thing as starting too soon and you really |
| 0:33.8 | want a lot of these nutrients pre-pregnancy. They also contain the right amount of research, |
| 0:39.3 | stacked and science-backed vitamins and minerals that are bioavailable and clinically studied key |
| 0:43.8 | nutrients for before and during pregnancy. This includes things like omega-3s, like |
| 0:48.8 | Colleen and methylated folate to support neural tube development, as well as all the other vitamins and minerals |
| 0:54.3 | that we need during pregnancy. Capsules have a delayed release design so they're |
| 0:57.9 | gentler on an empty stomach which is especially helpful for pregnant moms and that makes |
| 1:02.2 | it a lot easier to stick with taking these. |
| 1:04.8 | They rigorously test and validate my third party to make sure that their supplements are free |
| 1:08.6 | of allergens, microbes, and heavy metals and they work with world-class certification bodies to validate their products |
| 1:14.2 | externally. |
| 1:15.2 | They are always non-GMO Project Verified, gluten and major allogen-free, and certified |
| 1:20.3 | B-corp as well as made traceable. |
| 1:23.5 | They're female found to B Corp, meaning they hold themselves |
| 1:26.0 | accountable to not just their company's financial health, |
| 1:28.8 | but to the health of people and the planet as well. So why settle for a multivitamin you're not 100% sure about. |
| 1:36.1 | Ritual was literally built on trust so you know it's the real deal and you can save 20% off your first month |
