VITABIOTICS PREGNACARE PLUS CAPSULES VITAMINS & MINERALS - 56 CAPS

Pregnacare Plus has been carefully developed to help safeguard your dietary needs from pre-conception, during pregnancy and through to the end of breastfeeding and can be taken at any point during pregnancy. This product is not a substitute for a healthy balanced diet. If you are taking anticoagulants or suffer from food allergies do not take these tablets without seeking professional medical advice. Do not use these tablets if you are allergic to soya, fish or fish products. Why has Pregnacare Plus been developed? During pregnancy, your baby is totally reliant on what you eat as their only source of nourishment. So even with a good diet, extra specific nutrients may be very important around the time of pregnancy. Pregnacare Plus dual pack provides the original fully comprehensive Pregnacare multivitamin tablet including 400µg folic acid plus a specially developed Omega-3 capsule to provide a rich source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and arachidonic acid (AA) for healthy foetal brain and eye development. Pregnacare Plus contains the recommended* 300mg DHA for pregnancy and lactation. Why are Omega-3 fatty acids important? Adults can obtain DHA and EPA indirectly through the conversion of the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), present in vegetable oils such as linseed but this process is very inefficient. Fish oils provide a much more reliable, direct source of DHA, EPA and AA. The foetus and infant in early life need to receive these fatty acids directly as they only have a limited capability to convert essential fatty acids to more active long chain fatty acids such as DHA. These fatty acids are especially important during pregnancy as they form the building blocks of the baby's eyes. When is Pregnacare Plus recommended? Pregnacare Plus is recommended as soon as you start trying to conceive to help safeguard your nutritional needs before you find you are pregnant; throughout
