Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

Helpful Product Information
Pregnacare Max provides 400µg folic acid per daily serving. This is supplied as 200µg L-methylfolate and 200µg pteroylmonoglutamic acid.
L-methylfolate is a form of folate that can be used directly in normal folate metabolism. The presence of L-methylfolate can be described factually, but exaggerated claims about superior pregnancy outcomes should be avoided.
Pregnacare Max contains 2mg beta-carotene rather than preformed vitamin A. Vitabiotics specifically states that the formula does not contain vitamin A in the multivitamin or omega-3 capsule.
The fish oil is certified by Friend of the Sea according to Vitabiotics.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Pregnacare Max is a food supplement and should be used alongside a varied, balanced diet and appropriate antenatal care.
If your GP, midwife or obstetrician has prescribed additional folic acid, iron, vitamin D or another nutrient, follow their advice rather than relying on the standard Pregnacare Max dose.
