Pregnacare benefits mums and babies

Study on Vitamin D in Pregnancy

All Pregnacare products that have been expertly formulated at safe and moderate levels for during pregnancy. The UK Department of Health recommend a daily intake of 400µg of Folic Acid from before pregnancy for the first 12 weeks (the end of the first trimester). Each of the Pregnacare products includes the 400µg of Folic Acid, plus other important nutrients to safeguard your diet during pregnancy. The careful and balanced Pregnacare formulas can be taken throughout pregnancy.

As a pregnant woman, if you do not get enough Folic Acid before pregnancy, and during the first trimester of pregnancy (first 12 weeks), your baby is at higher risk for neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are serious birth defects that affect the spine, spinal cord, or brain of the baby, including Spina Bifida. This does not mean this will occur if you do not take folic acid – it simply mean the risk is that much higher.

You can start takingPregnacare Plus at any point during pregnancy.  Each tablet provides a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals as found inPregnacare Original, including the exact recommended level of 400µg Folic Acid for during pregnancy, plus the additional benefits of an Omega-3 capsule, providing 300mg DHA. Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the eye and brain of the foetus. (A daily intake of 200mg DHA is required in addition to the recommended daily intake of DHA for adults).
