Yes. The Natal Naturopath is now Naternal Vitamins.
If you have come across the new name and are wondering whether the products have changed, the short answer is no.
The formulations, ingredient philosophy and clinical focus remain the same. What has changed is the brand name.
At Nourishing Apothecary, we continue to stock the Naternal range because it aligns with how we think about fertility, pregnancy and postnatal nutritional support. This article explains the rebrand, what has changed, what has stayed the same and why the range continues to be one of our most recommended prenatal supplement collections.

From The Natal Naturopath to Naternal Vitamins
The Natal Naturopath was founded by Melanie, a degree-qualified Naturopath and mother, who developed the range from her own experience supporting women through preconception, pregnancy and the postnatal period.
Like many practitioners, she found herself repeatedly wishing there were better prenatal options available for the women she was supporting in clinic. Too often, women were left choosing between products that lacked key nutrients, contained forms she would not typically recommend, or required multiple supplements to achieve a more comprehensive nutritional approach.
That frustration became the foundation for the range.
Today, the brand has evolved into Naternal Vitamins, with the name blending naturopathic and maternal. While the name has changed, the philosophy behind the formulations has not.
The products continue to reflect the same evidence-informed approach they were built on from the beginning.
For existing customers, the most important thing to know is this: the formulations remain the same.
Why we stock Naternal Vitamins at Nourishing Apothecary
Every brand in our range is chosen for a reason.
We are often meeting women who feel overwhelmed by the number of fertility and pregnancy supplements available, unsure which ingredients matter and frustrated by conflicting advice.
We do not choose supplements based on marketing claims. We choose them based on formulation quality, ingredient forms, sourcing transparency and whether they address a genuine clinical need.
Naternal Vitamins meets those criteria in several specific ways.
Their flagship product, EverNatal, uses methylated folate rather than synthetic folic acid. Some practitioners consider methylated folate particularly relevant when working with individuals who carry MTHFR variants, although folate requirements and supplement choices should always be considered in the context of the individual. Approaches to folate supplementation vary, which is why personalised advice remains important.
We also appreciate that the formulation includes choline, a nutrient commonly considered during pregnancy and breastfeeding but not always prioritised in prenatal formulations.
Their approach to iron is equally thoughtful. EverNatal is intentionally iron-free, allowing iron supplementation to be individualised where appropriate. Iron needs and tolerability can vary significantly between women and across different stages of pregnancy and the postnatal period.

The Naternal Vitamins range at Nourishing Apothecary
We currently stock a curated selection of Naternal Vitamins products, each serving a different role within fertility, pregnancy or postnatal nutritional support.

IronBiotic is a stand-alone iron supplement containing iron bisglycinate, a form commonly chosen for its tolerability. Because EverNatal is iron-free, IronBiotic may be considered separately where iron support is appropriate based on individual needs or test results.
MitoMag by Naternal Vitamins is a magnesium supplement formulated for pregnancy and fertility nutritional support. Magnesium is involved in muscle function, nervous system function and general wellbeing.
NeuroNatal by Naternal Vitamins is formulated for nutritional support during the perinatal period, with a focus on nutrients relevant to nervous system function and cognitive wellbeing.
Who Naternal Vitamins may suit
The Naternal Vitamins range may be relevant for:
- women preparing for pregnancy and wanting to build nutritional foundations before conception
- women who are currently pregnant and looking for a practitioner-selected prenatal supplement
- women seeking a prenatal containing methylated folate
- women continuing nutritional support throughout breastfeeding
- women wanting greater flexibility around iron supplementation based on their individual needs
That said, there is no single prenatal supplement that is right for everyone.
In clinic, we always consider the bigger picture: your health history, dietary intake, pathology results, symptoms, stage of life and personal goals.
Supplement needs can vary significantly between individuals, which is why personalised advice remains important.
Naternal Vitamins alongside naturopathic care
Supplements are one part of a fertility, pregnancy or postpartum care plan.
At Nourishing Apothecary, we also look at nutrition, sleep, stress, pathology, lifestyle factors and the broader patterns that may be influencing your health. We do not look at supplements in isolation, just as we do not look at symptoms in isolation.
One of the most common things we see is women taking three, four or even five separate supplements in an attempt to cover all their bases. Often, they are left feeling overwhelmed and unsure whether they are taking what they actually need.
This is one reason formulation quality matters. The goal is not always to take more supplements. It is to understand what is relevant for you and build a plan around that.
If you are unsure where to start, or simply want clarity on which supplements are relevant for you, a free 15-minute discovery call is available. Our Naturopaths and Homeopaths see clients in Liverpool, Sydney and online across Australia.

Naternal Vitamins FAQ
Answers to common questions about the Naternal Vitamins range
Is The Natal Naturopath the same as Naternal Vitamins?
Yes. Naternal Vitamins is the new name for The Natal Naturopath range. The formulations, ingredient standards and founding philosophy remain consistent with the original brand. The name change reflects the growth and evolution of the business, while the products themselves remain the same.
Has anything changed besides the name?
No. The formulations, ingredient philosophy and clinical focus remain consistent with the original Natal Naturopath range. Existing customers can expect the same products, ingredients and approach under the new Naternal Vitamins name.
Why is EverNatal iron-free?
EverNatal is intentionally formulated without iron to allow iron supplementation to be individualised. In clinic, we often see that iron requirements and tolerability vary significantly between women and across different stages of pregnancy and the postnatal period. By keeping iron separate through a product such as IronBiotic, supplementation can be tailored to individual needs and pathology results rather than applying a fixed amount to everyone.
Why does EverNatal use methylfolate instead of folic acid?
EverNatal uses methylated folate rather than synthetic folic acid as part of its formulation philosophy. Some practitioners may consider methylated folate when working with individuals who carry MTHFR variants, though approaches to folate supplementation vary. Recommendations should always be considered in the context of individual needs, health history and professional healthcare advice.
Can I take EverNatal while breastfeeding?
EverNatal is formulated for use across preconception, pregnancy and the postnatal period, including breastfeeding. As with any supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding, suitability should be discussed with your healthcare provider, Naturopath or qualified practitioner to ensure it is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Why did The Natal Naturopath change its name?
The brand evolved from The Natal Naturopath to Naternal Vitamins as part of its growth and expansion. While the name changed, the formulations and philosophy behind the range remained the same.
