How will these supplements support my wellbeing throughout my pregnancy?

Pregnacare Plus tablets contain the 400µg of folic acid that the NHS recommends that you take during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

They also contain vitamin D, which helps to control the amount of calcium in your body, encouraging healthy bone development, plus a whole host of other essential vitamins and minerals. At the same time, the Omega-3 capsules provide 300mg of the fatty acid DHA, which helps to contribute to normal brain and eye development in your foetus.
