Needed was founded in 2017 by two nutritionally-trained mothers, Julie Sawaya and Ryan Woodbury. Through navigating their own health journeys, they realized women needed radically better care. They founded Needed to close the critical gap in perinatal nutrition and set a new science-backed health standard for women, their families, and our earth.
The company spent over 3 years developing the best prenatal on the market and a Complete Nutritional System™ for conception, to pregnancy, to new motherhood and beyond. It works every day to perfect it through ongoing clinical insights and research to give women exactly what’s needed at every stage. For example, their prenatal has more than 7x more Choline than typical one-a-day and gummy prenatals, an essential nutrient for baby’s brain development.
Today, Needed is the most complete perinatal nutrition system on the market with a wide range of targeted support for egg and sperm quality, lactation, stress, sleep, and hydration. The company’s products and educational content are designed around the latest research and clinical insights from the more than 4,000 women’s health practitioners that it works with.
Needed is also committed to delivering a radically better Earth for future generations. The company is a Certified B Corp, Certified Climate Neutral, Certified Plastic Neutral, and a member of 1% for the Planet.
