Vertical Pharmaceuticals launches egg-based Rx prenatal vitamin

SAYREVILLE, N.J. — Vertical Pharmaceuticals on Tuesday announced the launch of its OB Complete Gold, an egg-based pre-natal prescription vitamin supplement. The vitamin’s main ingredient, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is derived from cage-free hens, rather than fish or algae as most other DHA supplements are. 

 

“What makes OB Complete Gold such a breakthrough product is the egg-based OmEGGa DHA that contains a bioefficient form of DHA found naturally in the brain, eyes and breast milk,” San Francisco-based nurse practitioner Barb Dehn said. “This particular form of DHA is more easily absorbed, digested and distributed into the body’s tissues.”

 

The DHA in OB Complete Gold can also be absorbed in simpler steps, the company said, noting that it comes in a once-daily softgel capsule. The vitamin is also sugar free, lactose free and gluten free, and comes in packaging aimed at making taking them convenient for expecting moms. 

 

“Our goal is to provide these women with a revolutionary prenatal vitamin supplement so they have the confidence that they made a great choice in selecting OB Complete Gold for a healthy pregnancy,” Vertical Pharmaceuticals’ Pam Remash said.
