Vitabiotics Pregnacare Original 90 Tablets
Complete Pregnancy Multivitamin with 400µg Folic Acid, Vitamin D, Iron and Iodine
Vitabiotics Pregnacare Original is a comprehensive pregnancy food supplement providing 19 vitamins and minerals in a convenient once-daily tablet. Each tablet contains 400µg folic acid and 10µg vitamin D, alongside iron, iodine, zinc and other essential micronutrients. The 90-tablet pack provides approximately three months' supply.
Overview
Pregnacare Original is formulated for women during pregnancy and may be started at any point during pregnancy.
Each tablet provides 400µg folic acid together with 10µg vitamin D and a carefully balanced combination of 17 additional vitamins and minerals. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, while supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status.
The formula also contains iron, iodine, zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, B vitamins, magnesium, copper and selenium.
Only one tablet is required per day, so the 90-tablet presentation provides approximately 90 days' or three months' supply.

Helpful Product Information
Pregnacare Original provides 400µg folic acid and 10µg vitamin D per daily tablet.
The formula is designed specifically for pregnancy and provides moderate levels of vitamins and minerals rather than very high isolated doses.
Pregnacare Original does not include an omega-3 DHA capsule. Women who want DHA included in the same daily supplement routine may prefer Pregnacare Plus or Pregnacare Max.
Pregnacare Original also does not provide the additional calcium found in Pregnacare Max.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Pregnacare Original 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 a higher dose of folic acid, iron, vitamin D or another nutrient, follow their advice rather than relying on the standard Pregnacare dose.
Women who have previously had a pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect, take certain medicines, have diabetes or have particular medical risk factors may be advised to take a higher prescribed dose of folic acid.
Pregnacare Original contains iodine, so women with a thyroid condition should discuss supplementation with their doctor or pharmacist.
As the formula already provides a broad range of vitamins and minerals, an additional comprehensive multivitamin is generally unnecessary.
Not Suitable For
Do not use if you are allergic or sensitive to any ingredient.
Speak to your doctor, pharmacist or midwife before use if you:
- Have a thyroid condition
- Have epilepsy
- Have haemochromatosis
- Are under medical supervision
- Take regular medication
- Have significant food allergies
- Have been prescribed additional iron, folic acid, vitamin D or another pregnancy supplement
Do not replace prescribed supplementation with Pregnacare Original unless advised by your healthcare professional.
