Careful support without excessive levels

Pregnacare Breast-feeding has been specially formulated by experts to provide sensible, balanced levels of vitamins and minerals. All ingredients have been included on the basis of scientific research with ideal amounts for pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Pregnacare Breast-feeding provides:

• 700mg calcium, plus magnesium and vitamin D3 which are also important for healthy bone development.

• Specific micronutrients to help safeguard a mum’s nutrition while breast-feeding.
• Each capsule provides 300mg DHA, the level recommended by international experts for mums during lactation.
• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) supplied from the mother’s breast milk plays an essential role in the new baby’s brain and eye development. Infants have limited capability to synthesize fatty acids, which therefore must be obtained direct from external sources such as the mother’s milk.
• During breast-feeding, the infant’s brain continues to take up DHA and 15% of brain growth occurs after birth. DHA is required for optimum brain function and signalling and learning ability in later life.
• Contains the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil, produced in Norway.
