Ultimate Guide To Pregnacare

Vitabiotics | Published: 23/08/2021

About Pregnacare

Pregnacare has been formulated by experts in nutrition to provide each ingredient at precise levels, in moderation, and for every stage of pregnancy.

Benefits Of Pregnacare

- Pregnacare includes the exact recommended intake of folic acid and vitamin D, so you don’t need to worry about taking separate pregnancy supplements

- Pregnacare provides added reassurance - it helps to safeguard a range of important nutrients at carefully balanced levels for pregnancy, for example iron, zinc and iodine. While a healthy diet is always the ideal starting point, many women do not get all of these nutrients in sufficient amounts every day.

- Pregnacare includes vitamin B12 and has pioneered the importance of this vitamin, which is now officially recommended by a leading UK charity.

- Because Pregnacare is specially formulated for pregnancy, it does not include vitamin A.
