Vitabiotics Pregnacare Original – 30 Tablets – Looks After Your Bone Health –

Why was Pregnacare developed? During pregnancy, your baby depends entirely on your diet for nourishment. Even with a healthy lifestyle, certain nutrients become especially important. That’s why Pregnacare was carefully formulated with 19 essential vitamins and minerals, including folic acid and vitamin B12, to help support your nutritional needs throughout pregnancy—without the guesswork. When should I take Pregnacare? Pregnacare is ideal to take from the moment you start trying for a baby, throughout your entire pregnancy, and even while breastfeeding. It’s designed to support you at every stage and can be taken for as long as needed. What should I know before starting Pregnacare? Pregnacare contains moderate levels of nutrients, so it’s usually safe to take alongside most medications. However, if you’re taking any prescribed supplements or medicines, it’s best to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. As Pregnacare contains vitamin K, those on blood thinners (oral anticoagulants) should only take it under medical advice. How many tablets are in each pack? Pregnacare comes in 30-tablet (1-month supply) and 90-tablet (3-month supply) packs. The recommended intake is one tablet per day. How should I take Pregnacare? Take one tablet daily with your main meal and a full glass of water or a cold drink. Always take it on a full stomach, as this helps nutrient absorption and reduces the chance of feeling queasy. The tablets are not chewable, so please swallow them whole. Pregnacare is suitable for vegetarians. Are there any side effects? Pregnacare is generally well-tolerated with no known side effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended dose. In case of accidental overdose, seek medical advice right away. What nutrients are included? Pregnacare Original includes key nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B3, Folic Acid, Biotin, Magnesium, Iron, Iodine, and Zinc. For the full list of ingredients, please see the nutritional information tab on this page. Why are some Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) over 100%? NRVs represent basic minimum requirements. Pregnacare is specially designed to meet the higher nutritional needs of pregnancy, which is why some nutrients—like folic acid—are provided at higher levels. All levels are safe and within established upper limits for pregnancy. Does Pregnacare contain Vitamin A? No, Pregnacare doesn’t include vitamin A (retinol). Instead, it contains a safe, pregnancy-friendly level of betacarotene (pro-vitamin A), which your body converts into vitamin A as needed. Is it safe to keep taking folic acid after 12 weeks of pregnancy? Yes, it’s completely safe. While the Department of Health recommends 400µg folic acid up to week 12, you can continue taking it throughout pregnancy. Folic acid supports maternal tissue growth and cell division—key for your baby’s development. If UK flour is being fortified with folic acid, do I still need Pregnacare? Yes. Flour fortification will help boost general dietary folic acid, but it won’t replace the need for a supplement. The Department of Health still advises all women trying for a baby—and during the first trimester—to take 400µg folic acid daily. What if I forget to take my tablet? Don’t worry! Just take it the next day as usual. There’s no need to double up. The benefits of Pregnacare build over time, so missing a day won’t cause harm. Struggle with swallowing tablets? You’re not alone—many people find tablets tricky to swallow. You can break the tablet into smaller pieces and take with plenty of water. Or, try swallowing it with soft food like yoghurt or banana—just pop the tablet in right before swallowing. This method helps the tablet go down more easily.
