Expert Nutrition for Mother and Baby

Pregnacare prenatal supplement is the most popular choice trusted by mums. It helps women safeguard their diet when planning a pregnancy or already pregnant. This scientifically developed formula contains 19 important vitamins and minerals. It includes 400µg folic acid and 10µg vitamin D, as the UK Department of Health recommends during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Experts carefully formulated Pregnacare to keep all ingredient levels safe and moderate.

Recommended Levels of Folic Acid & Vitamin D

The UK Department of Health advises women planning a baby to take 400µg of folic acid daily. They should start this when trying to conceive and continue until week 12 of pregnancy. Pregnacare contains this exact amount of folic acid.

Taking folic acid supplements raises maternal folate levels, which lowers the risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus (NHS guidance). Folic acid also supports maternal tissue growth beyond 12 weeks.

Some pregnancy supplements don’t provide the recommended 10µg of vitamin D. Pregnacare Plus and Pregnacare Max deliver the exact amount needed for pregnancy and breastfeeding, following NHS vitamin D advice.

More Than Just Folic Acid – With B12 and Key Minerals

Studies show many vitamins and minerals matter throughout pregnancy and aftercare. Pregnacare provides a balanced range of nutrients to support overall health. It includes vitamins B2, B6, and B12, which help form normal red blood cells.

For ongoing support after birth, many mums also switch to Pregnacare Breast-feeding.

Pregnacare Avoids High-Dose Iron

Unlike many prenatal supplements, Pregnacare contains a moderate, ideal level of iron. Health professionals recommend avoiding high doses unless there’s a specific need (NHS iron advice).

If you need extra gentle iron support, you may also consider Feroglobin.

Before Conception

Pregnacare helps build nutrient stores like iron before conception. Good nutrition prepares a woman’s body for pregnancy demands. Nutrients such as folic acid, vitamin B12, and zinc play key roles from conception onward. Zinc supports normal fertility and reproduction. Vitamin B12 aids red blood cell formation and cell division.

Women trying for a baby may also benefit from Pregnacare Conception, which includes additional nutrients like inositol and CoQ10 to support fertility. For more on preparing for pregnancy, see NHS preconception advice.

For All of Pregnancy

Nutrition matters throughout pregnancy, not just in the first 12 weeks. Pregnacare supplies essential nutrients during all nine months. Folic acid supports the entire pregnancy and helps maintain normal blood formation. You can start taking Pregnacare at any stage.
