Key Nutrients in Materna: Folic Acid and DHA

Materna delivers 100% of the UK Reference Intake (RI) of folic acid, a B vitamin essential for healthy cell growth and early foetal development, particularly during the first trimester. This supports neural tube formation.* The separate DHA softgels provide 225 mg of docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to normal brain development for both mother and child.* Vitamin D is also included to maintain bone health and immune function.* Together, these nutrients form a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy.

What Is a Prenatal Multivitamin and Who Needs It?

A prenatal Multivitamin is a specially formulated supplement to meet the increased nutritional demands of women before conception, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. Key vitamins and minerals can be challenging to obtain from diet alone, and Materna Prenatal Multivitamin with DHA fills these gaps with a comprehensive blend of 23 essential nutrients. Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, expecting, or nursing, a quality prenatal supplement contributes to your wellbeing and your baby’s development.*

How to Choose the Right Prenatal Multivitamin

When selecting a prenatal vitamin, consider nutrient completeness, bioavailability, and independent testing. If you have MTHFR gene variations, look for methylated B vitamins. Materna uses well-absorbed nutrient forms and is the #1 GP recommended brand*, reflecting trust amongst health care professionals. (*Based on IQVIA and ProVoice Research 2023.) The tablet and soft gel capsule combo offers flexibility for those who prefer separate DHA supplementation. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new regimen.

How to Incorporate Materna into Your Daily Routine

For best results, take one tablet and one soft gel capsule daily with food. This pairing provides the Multivitamin and DHA in one convenient dose. For optimal benefit, start Materna at least three months before conception and continue throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. Complement with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prenatal Vitamins

Can I take prenatal vitamins on an empty stomach?

To minimise stomach upset, take your prenatal vitamin with food. Fat also aids absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like DHA and vitamin D.

Is DHA necessary during pregnancy?

DHA is a crucial omega-3 fatty acid supporting foetal brain and eye development. Many prenatal vitamins include it, but separate supplementation ensures an adequate dose. Materna supplies 225 mg of DHA per soft gel capsule.

What if I forget a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one—do not double up.
