Pregnacare Max - Prenatal Vitamins with DHA, Tablets & Capsules (Pack of 2)

When to Start Taking Prenatal Vitamins

It is generally recommended to begin taking a prenatal supplement containing folic acid at least one month before conception and continue throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Pregnacare Max is suitable for uses before, during and after pregnancy, supporting the changing needs of both mother and baby. Folic acid contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy* and a low maternal folate status is a risk factor for neural tube defects in the developing foetus*.

Always consult your doctor or midwife before starting any new supplement, especially when pregnant or planning a pregnancy. They can help determine the right dosage and ensure it fits with your individual health profile. Pregnacare Max is a comprehensive choice for those seeking maximum nutritional support.

What Makes Pregnacare Max a Comprehensive Prenatal Supplement?

Pregnancy demands higher levels of essential nutrients. Pregnacare Max is formulated to help safeguard your daily intake of key vitamins and minerals. This advanced formula combines a daily tablet with a separate Omega-3 DHA soft gel capsule, providing a dual approach to support both maternal health and foetal development. The pack contains 28 tablets and 56 capsules – a convenient two-month supply.

The formula includes 400 mcg of folic acid, which helps meet increased requirements during pregnancy. Calcium is added to support the maintenance of normal bones** and the developing skeletal system of the baby. The 300 mg Omega-3 DHA capsule contributes to normal brain development in the foetus and breastfed infants***. Pregnacare Max is the ultimate offering in the Pregnacare range for maximum support throughout all stages of pregnancy.

Dual-Pack Convenience for Maximum Support

A standout feature of Pregnacare Max is its dual-pack design. The daily tablet contains a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, while the separate Omega-3 capsule delivers a concentrated dose of DHA. This allows flexible timing – some women prefer taking the capsule with a meal to minimise any fishy aftertaste or digestive discomfort.

The pack includes 28 tablets and 56 capsules, giving you a two-month supply if taken as directed. Tablets are small and easy to swallow, and the capsules are softgels. As with any supplement, consistency is key, and this pack makes it simple to stay on track.

Key Nutrients for Maternal Nutrition

During pregnancy, your body needs higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals. Pregnacare Max provides a carefully selected blend to complement your diet. Folic acid is essential for cell growth and development and is recommended before and during early pregnancy. The inclusion of calcium helps support the developing skeleton while preserving maternal bone density.

Omega-3 DHA, sourced from fish oil, is a long-chain fatty acid that plays a structural role in the brain and eyes. The dual-pack format ensures you receive this important nutrient separately from the Multivitamin, which may aid absorption and reduce the risk of interaction. Pregnacare Max is formulated to meet the increased demands of pregnancy, offering a convenient way to maintain nutrient levels.
