Vitabiotics Pregnacare Liquid 200ml
Liquid pregnancy multivitamin with 400µg folic acid, vitamin D, iron and iodine for before and throughout pregnancy
Vitabiotics Pregnacare Liquid is an orange-flavoured liquid vitamin and mineral supplement developed for women before and during pregnancy. It provides 18 nutrients, including 400µg folic acid, 10µg vitamin D3, 17mg iron and 150µg iodine per 10ml daily serving, making it a convenient alternative for women who prefer not to swallow tablets.
Overview
Pregnacare Liquid provides a carefully formulated combination of vitamins and minerals for the nutritional needs of women before and during pregnancy.
Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status; low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. The beneficial effect for this specific risk-reduction claim is obtained with a supplemental daily intake of 400µg folic acid for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
Vitamin D has a role in the process of cell division and contributes to normal immune function and maintenance of normal bones. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, while iodine contributes to normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.
The 200ml bottle provides 20 days' supply at the recommended 10ml daily intake.

Pregnacare Liquid has been specifically developed as an alternative for women who have difficulty swallowing tablets or simply prefer a liquid supplement. It has an orange flavour and provides 18 vitamins and minerals.
Does Pregnacare Liquid contain folic acid?

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Folic acid supplementation is particularly important around conception and during early pregnancy. Pregnacare Liquid provides 400µg per recommended daily serving.
Some women are advised by their doctor to take a higher dose of folic acid because of individual risk factors. Pregnacare Liquid should not be used as a substitute for a prescribed higher-dose folic acid regimen.
Pregnacare Liquid also provides 17mg iron. If blood tests show iron deficiency or anaemia, follow the advice of your GP, midwife or pharmacist rather than increasing the Pregnacare dose.
The formula contains iodine. Women with a thyroid disorder or taking thyroid medication should discuss supplementation with their doctor or pharmacist.
Pregnacare Liquid replaces another Pregnacare multivitamin; an additional general pregnancy multivitamin is not normally required.

FAQs
1. What is Vitabiotics Pregnacare Liquid 200ml?
Pregnacare Liquid is a liquid prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement formulated for women before and during pregnancy. The recommended 10ml daily serving provides 18 nutrients, including 400µg folic acid, 10µg vitamin D3, 17mg iron, 150µg iodine and 7.5mg zinc. It provides an alternative to Pregnacare tablets for women who prefer a liquid format.
2. When should I start taking Pregnacare Liquid?
Pregnacare can be started when trying for a baby and continued throughout pregnancy. Supplemental folic acid is particularly important around conception and early pregnancy. For the authorised neural-tube-defect risk-reduction claim, the beneficial effect is obtained with 400µg supplemental folic acid daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
3. How much Pregnacare Liquid should I take each day?
Take two 5ml teaspoonfuls each day, giving a total daily serving of 10ml. A 5ml measuring spoon is supplied with the product. Take Pregnacare Liquid with or immediately after your main meal and not on an empty stomach. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
4. How long does a 200ml bottle of Pregnacare Liquid last?
A 200ml bottle provides 20 daily servings when taken at the recommended 10ml per day. This is equivalent to approximately 20 days' supply. Once opened, Vitabiotics advises storing Pregnacare Liquid in the refrigerator.
5. How much folic acid is in Pregnacare Liquid?
Each 10ml daily serving provides 400µg folic acid. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and has a role in the process of cell division. If your doctor has prescribed a higher dose of folic acid because of individual risk factors, do not replace that prescribed dose with standard Pregnacare without medical advice.
6. Does Pregnacare Liquid contain vitamin D?
Yes. Each 10ml serving provides 10µg, or 400 IU, vitamin D3. Vitamin D contributes to normal immune-system function, maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function and normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. It also has a role in the process of cell division.
7. Does Pregnacare Liquid contain iron?
Yes. The recommended daily serving provides 17mg iron. Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, normal oxygen transport and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. If you have diagnosed iron deficiency or anaemia, follow the individual advice of your GP or maternity-care professional rather than taking more Pregnacare than recommended.
8. Does Pregnacare Liquid contain vitamin A?
Pregnacare Liquid does not contain preformed vitamin A as retinol. The formula instead provides 1mg beta-carotene per 10ml serving. This distinction is relevant during pregnancy because supplements containing vitamin A in the retinol form are generally avoided unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
9. Can I take Pregnacare Liquid throughout my whole pregnancy?
Yes. Vitabiotics states that Pregnacare Liquid can be used throughout all stages of pregnancy and can be started at any point during pregnancy. The importance of folic acid extends particularly to the period before conception and early pregnancy, while a balanced intake of essential nutrients remains important throughout pregnancy.
10. Can I take Pregnacare Liquid with another pregnancy multivitamin?
An additional Pregnacare or general multivitamin is not normally needed. Pregnacare Liquid is already a comprehensive formula containing 18 vitamins and minerals. Combining multivitamins can duplicate nutrients such as iron, vitamin D, iodine and vitamin B6. If another supplement has been prescribed, continue according to the advice of your GP, midwife or other healthcare professional.
11. Is Pregnacare Liquid suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Vitabiotics states that Pregnacare Liquid is suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free. It is designed as a liquid alternative to tablets and has an orange flavour. Always check the current packaging for the complete ingredient and allergen information before use.
12. Does Pregnacare Liquid contain calcium or omega-3 DHA?
Pregnacare Liquid does not contain calcium, and DHA is not listed in its current formulation. Women wanting DHA should choose an appropriate pregnancy-specific product or seek professional advice. Vitabiotics offers other Pregnacare formulations containing DHA, but these have different compositions and directions, so products should not simply be combined without checking the total nutrient intake.
