When Erin Schurtz found out she was pregnant, she went straight to her computer. She read everything she could find about proper nutrition and prenatal wellness. Folic acid? Check. Iron? Yes. Calcium? Got it. An additional 15 grams of protein? Uh-oh.
As an active woman, Erin had always supplemented her diet with a healthy protein shake everyday. But as she combed through her protein bars and powders, she came up empty-handed… and concerned. Each label carried the same warning: “Not recommended for pregnant women.”
So, Erin together with Dr. Yvonne Bohn, a Santa Monica based OB/GYN, star of the TV series, “Delivery Me” and author of “The Mommy Docs” created Mommi 3-in-1 – a smooth-flavored daily supplement that packs a full 15 grams of premium whey protein, 100% of the daily recommended prenatal vitamins and 200 mg of DHA in every serving. Mommi 3-in-1 delivers everything you and your growing baby need for a strong, healthy and wonderful start.
Erin & Dr. Bohn share their story here:

Supplemental Facts
Prenatal—Mommi uses the best and highest quality minerals and vitamins to form the prenatal vitamin included in every serving of Mommi 3-in-1. Mommi 3-in-1 is supplemented with extra B vitamins designed to help facilitate energy and combat morning sickness. Each ingredient is tested to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.
Protein—Mommi uses whey protein in Mommi 3-in-1 because it has the best amino-acid profile, which makes it easier to digest. It also has a lower heavy metal count than most veggie proteins which makes it safer for women, and especially those who are pregnant. Whey protein has been known to help with nausea and helps vitamins absorb without upsetting the stomach
DHA—Mommi uses premium MEG-3® fish oil that provides all of the benefits of DHA without the fishy odor and bad taste. The last thing you need is to have fishy burps when pregnant. MEG-3® fish oil undergoes vigorous testing and exceeds the highest international safety, quality, and purity standards

A few Q & A’s
Q: Does one serving of this replace a daily prenatal vitamin?
A: Yes, one serving of Mommi 3-in-1 has a full prenatal vitamin, 200 mg of DHA and 15 grams of protein; it replaces your prenatal pill and is taken every day with a healthy diet while pregnant.
Q: What is special about your product that someone should purchase it over drinking a shake made with regular whey protein and taking a prenatal vitamin?
A: The benefit of taking Mommi 3-in-1 over a whey protein and separate prenatal vitamin is that it also includes DHA, which doctors recommend women take every day while pregnant. It is vital for fetal brain development. It is also beneficial over a prenatal vitamin because in Mommi 3-in-1 the vitamins are coated so instead of sitting in your stomach as a large prenatal and slowly disseminating into the blood stream, the vitamins are easily digestible, preventing nausea or gagging. Our protein has also undergone intensive testing over the last year to ensure it passes every regulation for safety during pregnancy. Not all protein powders are safe for a developing baby.
Q: Can a pregnant woman use this as a meal replacement or should she take it in addition to her usual meals?
A: While pregnant, a woman should take Mommi 3-in-1 as a supplement to her regular healthy diet. Mommi 3-in-1 was designed to contain the approximate amount of extra calories pregnant women need to consume daily. When mixed with milk or milk substitute it adds the extra 200-300 calories (depending on the recipe used) pregnant women should be adding to their daily diet.

Q: Can you continue to drink the shake after giving birth as a snack or meal replacement to help with losing the baby weight? Or should it only be used during pregnancy?
A: You actually need even more calories than while you are pregnant, for a healthy milk supply when nursing. So continuing to use Mommi 3-in-1 as a supplement will help curb your appetite for less healthy snacks. When done nursing Mommi 3-in-1 can be used as as a meal replacement but we recommend discussing any diet changes with your Dr. Breastfeeding moms find that drinking Mommi 3-in-1 after birth may also help with milk production.
