Benefits
- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from the fish oil capsule is the most abundant Omega-3 fatty acid in the fetal brain and retina - adequate DHA during pregnancy is associated with better infant neurodevelopmental outcomes, and supplementation is recommended because dietary DHA intake is frequently insufficient during pregnancy
- The tablet provides the most comprehensive multi-nutrient matrix in the Pregnacare range, with all the vitamins and minerals for which increased requirements during pregnancy are established - addressing the nutritional demands of both the growing fetus and the adapting maternal body
- Folic Acid at 400mcg supports the critical neural tube closure that occurs in the first 4 weeks after conception, and the B vitamin complex supports the continuous cell division of rapid fetal organ development throughout pregnancy
- Iron at the increased level appropriate for pregnancy supports the 50% increase in maternal blood volume and provides the fetal iron stores that the newborn depends on in the first months of postnatal life before dietary iron intake establishes
- Iodine for maternal thyroid function and fetal brain development - one of the most under-supplemented pregnancy nutrients globally yet critical for preventing the cognitive impairments associated with iodine deficiency in the developing fetus
How to Use
- Take 1 tablet and 1 capsule daily with the main meal
- Take the tablet and capsule together with food and water
- Swallow both whole - do not crush or chew
- Begin as soon as possible when planning a pregnancy and continue throughout
- The DHA capsule and iron in the tablet should be taken at the same time - there is no need to separate them despite the general guidance to separate iron from omega-3 supplements, as the formulation is designed for co-administration
- Consult your physician or midwife about your supplement regimen, particularly if you are already taking other supplements
- Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place with caps firmly closed
