Why Founding Clinical Partners Matter

Most prenatal products are formulated in labs without ongoing input from clinicians who treat real patients. We chose a different path.

Our Founding Clinical Partners are actively involved in shaping Stork Juice to ensure it is

  • Aligned with current prenatal and maternal health guidelines
  • Pregnancy safe across all trimesters
  • Thoughtfully dosed for absorption and tolerability
  • Designed to support real world symptoms like nausea fatigue and hydration challenges
  • Built with clean premium ingredients that clinicians trust

Their involvement helps bridge the gap between science formulation and day to day motherhood.

What Our Clinical Partners Contribute

Our partners support Stork Juice across several critical areas

  • Formula review and validation for safety and appropriateness
  • Guidance on nutrient forms bioavailability and interactions
  • Input on hydration electrolytes and tolerability during pregnancy
  • Ongoing review as new research and guidelines evolve
  • Clinical perspective on how women actually use prenatal products

This collaboration ensures Stork Juice is both medically responsible and practically usable.

Independence and Integrity

Founding Clinical Partners are compensated for their time and expertise. They are not paid to make claims or guarantees and they do not replace personalized medical advice. Their role is to help us build a product that meets high clinical standards while respecting the individuality of every pregnancy.

Our Commitment to Mothers

We believe women deserve products that are

  • Thoughtfully formulated not overloaded
    Clinically informed not trend driven
  • Transparent about ingredients sourcing and purpose
  • Supportive of the full journey from fertility to postpartum

Our Founding Clinical Partners help hold us accountable to that promise.

Talk With Your Provider

While Stork Juice is designed to be pregnancy safe we always encourage women to discuss any supplement or prenatal product with their personal healthcare provider.
