How it works:
Blackmores Pregnancy and Breast-Feeding Formula provides folic acid to support women's optimal intake of this important nutrient. Folic acid supports the healthy development of baby's nervous system.Folic Acid supplements should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet. NB: see note on Folic Acid below.
Iodine supports normal healthy thyroid function, growth and development and adequate levels of iodine help support a healthy pregnancy.Iodinealso supports baby's brain, eyesight and hearing development.
Vitamin D3 is both a hormone and a vitamin. Vitamin D3 is consumed in the diet and also synthesised by the action of sunlight on cholesterol in the skin and so became known as the sunshine vitamin. Vitamin D3 is best known for its ability to stimulate the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the small intestine and decrease urinary excretion of calcium thus improving bone density and strength. In Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold, it supports calcium absorption and bone health for both mother and baby.
Recent research has shown that omega-3 long chain fatty acids are essential for babies' health. DHA - the main long chain fatty acid in breast milk and also present in tuna oil - is particularly important to support the normal healthy functioning of baby's brain and nerves and for development of normal eyesight.

A Note on Folic Acid & Pregnancy Multivitamin Formulas:
The NZ Ministry of Health (MOH) restricts the amount of folic acid available in non-pharmacy nutritional supplements to 300mcg. Some sources, including the MOH's own guidelines, indicate that a higher daily intake (e.g. 800mcg plus) of Folic Acid is more appropriate, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. We stock a range of quality, stand-alone Folic Acid supplements.
