It is important to note that some pregnancy formulas do not include the exact 10 mcg vitamin D, as recommended by the Department of Health for all pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Folic Acid:
The Department of Health recommends women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400mcg of folic acid from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy. This is the exact amount of folic acid contained in Pregnacare®. Folic Acid is also beneficial beyond 12 weeks as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
B12 and key minerals:
Many studies show the importance of ensuring the correct intake of various vitamins and minerals throughout the entire pregnancy and as part of an aftercare plan. Pregnacare® provides a range of nutrients for overall support, all at sensible, carefully balanced levels.
Pregnacare® avoids high dose iron which is not recommended
Unlike many prenatal iron supplements, Pregnacare® has been specifically formulated with an ideal, moderate level of iron. High levels of iron are not recommended unless there is a particular requirement as identified by your healthcare professional.
Good nutritional intake is vital throughout pregnancy, not just the first 12 weeks. Pregnacare provides essential nutrients throughout pregnancy including folic acid which plays an important role during the full nine months, such as contributing to normal blood formation. You can start taking Pregnacare at any point during pregnancy.
Specially formulated by experts:
Pregnacare® has been formulated by experts and is often recommended by health professionals including midwives to help safeguard a mother's diet. It provides a comprehensive spectrum of essential nutrients at carefully chosen safe levels, developed on the basis of international research. It has always contained the recommended level of 400mcg folic acid.
Directions for use

Pregnacare® should only be taken on a full stomach.v Pregnacare® does not contain any drugs or hormones and is produced to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards of quality control, beyond those normally required for food supplements.
