DTCetc’s Take

About Needed

Founded by Julie Sawaya and Ryan Woodbury, Needed is a nutrition brand that aims to empower women to meet their nutritional needs before, during, and after pregnancy. The founders, who are passionate about holistic nutrition, started the brand after realizing that most prenatal vitamins fall short of providing women with all the nutrients they need for optimal fertility, pregnancies, and postpartum recovery. Needed offers supplements that are designed to meet the specific needs of women, including critical nutrients like Omega-3 DHA + EPA, certain B Vitamins, Choline, and Magnesium. At Needed, they believe in holistic thinking, abundance, growth, and meeting every need one at a time.
