Directions

Some women have reported a delay in their cycle while using Pregncare Conception. If you experience a delay or change in your monthly cycle, this may not necessarily mean you are pregnant, and it is advised to take a pregnancy test and speak to your doctor or health professional. Before: When you start thinking about planning a baby (often referred to as TTC, trying to conceive), we recommend you start taking Pregnacare Conception. The UK Department of Health recommends women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400µg 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. (If you have some Pregnacare Conception tablets left over once you have confirmed you are pregnancy you can use these up before moving to the Pregnacare during pregnancy products (Original, Gummies, Liquid, Plus or Max).

In addition to ensuring that your prenatal vitamin provides you with all the essential nutrients to support a healthy pregnancy, it’s also important to maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. Supplements can only provide support to a healthy lifestyle and cannot deliver everything your body requires during pregnancy. What factors should I consider when looking for a prenatal vitamin? Pregnacare Conception contains only moderate levels of essential vitamins and minerals without any drugs or hormones. Our comprehensive global literature searches have shown that it does not contain any nutrient that is known to cause irregularities or changes in the monthly cycle. Preparing your body and ensuring you have a healthy diet and lifestyle to maximise your chances of conception are important factors when you decide to plan for a baby. Pregnacare Conception Max formula has been developed on the basis of worldwide studies showing that certain nutrients can play an important role in helping to build nutritional stores ready for pregnancy and support good reproductive health. Vitamin A and C: Vitamin A supports the baby’s eye and organ development, while vitamin C can help maintain both foetal and maternal health. Taking these vitamins is linked to reduced complications in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia and preterm birth. However, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists warns that “Too much vitamin A can harm the development of your baby’s nervous system. During pregnancy, avoid any supplements that contain more than 700 micrograms (µg) of vitamin A and don’t eat foods such as liver, liver products (pâté) or fish liver oils that may contain this vitamin in high levels.”During: Pregnacare Original, Plus, Max, Liquid and Gummies have been formulated to be taken throughout pregnancy. While only one format should be taken at any one time, you can switch between the types depending on your needs: e.g. Pregnacare Plus provides all the benefits of Pregnacare Original plus an Omega-3 capsule which provides 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). Pregnacare Max includes all the benefits of Pregnacare Plus , with the addition of L-Methylfolate, a more readily bio-available form of Folic Acid, and 500mg Calcium which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Pregnacare Conception Max includes L-Methylfolate, a more advanced, bioavailable form of folic acid. The advanced formulation provides 400µg folic acid, the exact level recommended by the Department of Health for all women who are trying to conceive. Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status*.Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.As well as playing a role in the process of cell division, folic acid also contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Swallow with water or a cold drink. Not to be chewed. Do not exceed recommended intake. To be taken only on a full stomach. There is no need to take an additional multivitamin. The high quality capsules provide GMP grade fish oil, certified for sustainability by Friend of the Sea.
