Celebs are seriously diversifying their portfolios as of late and we love to see it.
Especially when it’s for a cause as important as women’s reproductive health, which is where Perelel enters the chat. This startup company creates supplements to support women during conception, pregnancy and the early years of motherhood.
Proudly claiming to be the first and only OBG/YN-founded prenatal supplement brand, Perelel raised an impressive $4.7 million in seed funding, with the help of investors, some of which include author and blogger, Aimee Song, chief marketing officer of Glossier, Ali Weiss and fashion designer, Whitney Port.
Why did Whitney Port choose to invest in Perelel?
Forget making a pretty penny when it’s all said and done. For Whitney Port, above all else, her motivation to invest was entirely personal. “After multiple miscarriages, I learned there isn’t just one answer or one solution to fertility problems. Each miscarriage I’ve had occurred for a different reason,” she told Fortune.
“So, as someone who can intimately relate to these multileveled issues that Perelel is tackling head on in women’s healthcare, I was immediately drawn to the brand’s innovation.” And in speaking of her own experience so publicly, Whitney has since come across many other women who she knows would benefit from Perelel’s offering.
How did Whitney first come to hear about Perelel?
The vitamins and supplements are all formulated by a team of top women’s health doctors, one of those being Whitney’s endocrinologist, Dr Andy Huang. It was Dr Huang who helped formulate Perelel’s Conception Support vitamin.
Where can we purchase Perelel?
Unfortunately Aussie’s can’t purchase Perelel supplements, yet. However, the brand has said they hope to start shipping internationally soon. We’ll be waiting!

Impressive.
To have been ageless skin is not easy. If we don’t know how to take care of it we become what we behold. It could not have effect back.
A good initiative, well done.
yes I hope it works out well
I took Elevit when I was pregnant.
Elevit is meant to be very good
Interesting never heard of it before today
I haven’t either but then I am way past having babies
me too thank goodness -grandies now which is so much easier and a lot of fun
me too. Waiting for the grandchildren now.
Sounds great, a area more people should be educated on and delve into.
If it helps it would be a positive step to help women who are prone to miscarrying and hopefully take the stress away
It’s not guaranteed though. It could still happen.
yes there are lots of medical reasons people miscarry and there is not a one stop fix for all
Always a very stressful time.
This is not the first of its kind, just the first to be founded by specialists. I think a consultation with a doctor would be better, as everyone’s problems are different.
Yes I agree.
Interesting. Sad to hear about her struggles with miscarriage.
Yes that must be so heartbreaking
Thank goodness I was lucky and didn’t have this problem
This is the first I’ve heard of it. Good on her.
Same here.
I tried my best to take Elevit when I was pregnant first time and I just vomited it straight back up so hopefully this vitamin caters for people with morning sickness.
If I was in that situation I would work with my doctor or maybe a naturopath to try and determine the cause
Good idea.
Yes I would be the same -not all miscarriages are vitamin related
I’d be interested to know how these vitamins and supplements differ from other brands on the market.
Same!
Lack of “supplements” was/is not a cause of late rise of miscarriages, nope.
Yay for science backed supplements.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
I took folic acid when pregnant. but so much to choose from nowadays, healthy bubs here we come!
Sometimes I think things have gone overboard with what to do and take while pregnant
You do have to be careful and I would suggest discuss with DR first
Sad to read about her miscarriages.
Never heard of Perelel? Should one invest in this?
Definitely an impressive product, and the money raised in seed funding is also impressive to boot. Valuable to know. Thank you.
It is another option and hopefully helps a lot of people
I was wondering if Perelel supplements are soon to be available in Australia.?
The product is indeed excellent, and the amount of seed cash obtained is outstanding as well. Important to know I’m grateful. backrooms game
