Description
Ingredients
Provides 400mcg folic acid, 10mcg vitamin D and a pregnancy-appropriate vitamin and mineral blend. Folic acid contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy; vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Full breakdown on the pack.
Directions
Take one tablet daily with water, after your main meal, throughout pregnancy – folic acid matters most in the first 12 weeks, and vitamin D throughout, including while breastfeeding.
Warnings
- Do not take alongside other multivitamins or any supplement containing vitamin A (including fish liver oils) – too much vitamin A is harmful in pregnancy.
- Women needing 5mg folic acid – including those with diabetes, epilepsy, a high BMI, or a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect – should speak to their GP or midwife.
- Food supplements support a varied diet – they don’t replace one.
- Always mention any supplement to your midwife at your booking appointment.
