Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Gold 180 Capsules

Twenty nutrients across two capsules: 250mcg folic acid, iodine, DHA and EPA from concentrated omega-3 marine triglycerides (125mg DHA, 25mg EPA), a low-constipation iron glycinate, vitamin D3, and a full run of B vitamins, calcium, zinc, magnesium, selenium and chromium, plus vitamin C and E. Based on Australian pregnancy supplementation guidelines, it's built to cover mother and baby together rather than as separate supplements.

Taken daily for a month before conception and through pregnancy, folic acid at this dose may reduce the risk of a child having spina bifida or another neural tube defect. DHA supports the baby's brain, eyesight and nervous system development, and vitamin D3 supports healthy bone and teeth development. The iron form is chosen specifically to be gentler on digestion than standard iron supplements.

Two capsules a day with meals is the dose.

Directions

Adults: Take 2 capsules a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed.
