Additional Info

Vitabiotics Pregnacare Breast-Feeding – 56 Tablets + 28 Capsules is a comprehensive postnatal vitamin, mineral and Omega-3 supplement specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of new mothers during breastfeeding.

The dual-pack formula combines two postnatal micronutrient tablets with one high-purity Omega-3 capsule per day, providing essential vitamins and minerals alongside 700 mg calcium and 300 mg DHA.

For breastfeeding mothers, the Omega-3 capsule provides 300 mg DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). Maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal brain and eye development of breast-fed infants, when the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg DHA in addition to the recommended daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids for adults.

Pregnacare Breast-Feeding also provides 700 mg calcium, together with vitamin D, vitamin K and magnesium. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones, while vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function.

The comprehensive formula also includes 400 µg folic acid, 16 mg iron, 15 mg zinc and 150 µg iodine. Iron contributes to normal red blood cell and haemoglobin formation and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, while iodine contributes to normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.

Pregnacare Breast-Feeding can also be taken as a general postnatal supplement for 6–9 months after childbirth, or longer if required, even when not breastfeeding.
