Pregnacare® is the most popular and trusted prenatal supplement by mums to safeguard the diet of those who are planning for pregnancy or are already pregnant.
A scientifically developed formulation of 19 important vitamins and minerals, Pregnacare® contains vitamin B12 and folic acid at exactly the level recommended by the Department of Health.
Pregnacare® has been carefully developed by experts so that all ingredient levels are within safe levels for pregnancy and are moderate rather than excessive.
The Department of Health recommends women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400mcg of folic acid from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy.
This is the exact amount of folic acid contained in Pregnacare®.
Folic Acid is also beneficial beyond 12 weeks as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
Many studies show the importance of ensuring the correct intake of various vitamins and minerals throughout the entire pregnancy and as part of an aftercare plan.
Pregnacare® provides a range of nutrients for overall support, all at sensible, carefully balanced levels.
Unlike many prenatal iron supplements, Pregnacare® has been specifically formulated with an ideal, moderate level of iron.
High levels of iron are not recommended unless there is a particular requirement as identified by your healthcare professional.
Pregnacare® is recommended before conception to build up the stores of nutrients such as iron in women who are trying for a baby.
Good nutrition is important to help prepare a woman's body for the additional demands placed on it during pregnancy.
Certain nutrients, like folic acid, vitamin B12 and zinc are also of particular importance from the very first moment of conception.
Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction whilst vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and also has a role in the process of cell division.
Good nutritional intake is vital throughout pregnancy, not just the first 12 weeks.
Pregnacare provides essential nutrients throughout pregnancy including folic acid which plays an important role during the full nine months, such as contributing to normal blood formation.
You can start taking Pregnacare at any point during pregnancy.

In fact each ejaculate contains around 5mg of zinc; one half of the whole recommended daily nutrient intake, therefore 15mg of zinc has been included within the formulation.
Conception and Spermatogenesis
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, zinc and vitamin B6 also contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis. Folate, iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 have a role in cell division, plus vitamin A, which has a role in the process of cell specialisation.

Osteocare® contains the preferred D3 form of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D that is produced by the skin on exposure to sunlight.

Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining bones later in life.
The Osteocare® formulation is based on the very latest international findings on the role of nutrients in normal bone health, as well as multiple large-scale scientific studies in the past 20 years.

The comprehensive formula also includes zinc which contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and normal metabolism of fatty acids.
Women are increasingly looking to maintain health naturally during the menopause.
Menopace® is a comprehensive formulation of 21 nutrients, which can be taken alongside or independently of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
During menopause, a woman's ovaries produce less oestrogen and progesterone.
Menopace® includes vitamin B6 to contribute to the regulation of hormonal activity.
Menopace® also provides vitamin B12 and thiamin (vit. B1), which contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
It also contains moderate dietary levels of Soya Isoflavone extract (20mg), to provide Daidzein, Glycitein and Genistein isoflavones which are naturally occurring plant compounds.
Oestrogen has a positive effect on the production of collagen, a substance that forms part of the bone matrix and is known to help keep skin supple and taut.
After the menopause, oestrogen levels and hence collagen production can significantly decline.
Menopace® includes vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, cartilage, bones and blood vessels.
Bone health is particularly important for women during and after the menopause.
Menopace® provides magnesium, zinc and vitamin D which contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.
Vitamin D also contributes to the absorption and utilisation of calcium from the diet.
Menopace® is designed to be taken in conjunction with a calcium supplement such as Osteocare®.
It is thought that lower oestrogen levels may influence heart and cardiovascular health in older women.
Menopace® includes thiamin (vit.B1) which contributes to the normal function of the heart whilst folate, vitamins B12 and B6 contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism.
Maintaining healthy lower levels of the blood amino acid homocysteine is independently linked with heart health.
