Expert postnatal nutrition for mums

Pregnacare New Mum provides a carefully balanced, comprehensive formulation of micronutrients to help support the nutritional requirements of new mothers throughout the postnatal period.

It is ideal to be taken at any point after pregnancy with specific nutrients to help maintain normal energy release plus skin & hair health.

The advanced formula provides nutrients including vitamin B12 and iron which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The formulation also includes ingredients such as Marine Collagen, Citrus Bioflavonoids and Grape Seed Extract, plus essential vitamins and minerals.

The health of our skin and hair will vary over the course of our lives and perhaps the time you will notice the greatest changes will be after pregnancy and childbirth.

Hair Health
The changes which occur throughout pregnancy and after childbirth may have an impact on hair condition. Having a healthy head of hair and a healthy scalp begins with the proper nutritional building blocks. Supplementation can therefore play an important role in safeguarding an individual's nutritional intake after childbirth. Pregnacare New Mum includes zinc and selenium which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.

Skin Health
Pregnacare New Mum includes biotin and niacin (vitamin B3) which contribute to the maintenance of normal skin health plus vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.

All Round Health & Energy Release
Pregnacare New Mum contains B complex vitamins, including vitamin B2, B3, B12, pantothenic acid, folic acid and biotin to help support normal energy release, especially important following childbirth. Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid also contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells, plus iron which contributes to the normal formation of haemoglobin, which helps to transport oxygen around the body.

A healthy, varied diet is vital for new mothers, to help produce nutritious breast milk and maintain their own health during the postnatal period. Maternal breast-feeding is strongly recommended for the newborn baby as it provides essential nutrients and antibodies for long term health. Pregnacare Breast-feeding is an all-in-one pack, formulated with key specific ingredients for the postnatal period, including essential fatty acids such as DHA.

Why take Pregnacare Breast-feeding?

Pregnacare Breast-feeding is carefully formulated by experts, with essential vitamins, minerals and DHA, to help support all-round health and vitality including iron which contributes to normal energy release.

Pregnacare Breast-feeding can also be taken as a general postnatal supplement for 6-9 months following childbirth or longer if required, to replace depleted nutrients and assist the body following pregnancy, even if you are not breast-feeding.

For mothers who avoid dairy products, the formula also contains calcium which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.

Pregnacare Breast-feeding contains 10µg vitamin D as advised by the UK Department of Health during pregnancy and breast-feeding, the full RNI of 700mg calcium and 300mg DHA, the exact level recommended by international experts*.

- High Purity Omega-3 capsule
Each capsule provides 300mg DHA, the level recommended by international experts for mums during lactation*.

Maternal intake of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) contributes to the normal brain and eye development of breast-fed infants**. Infants have limited capability to synthesize fatty acids, which therefore must be obtained direct from external sources such as the mother's milk.
During breast-feeding, the infant's brain continues to take up DHA and 15% of brain growth occurs after birth.
Contains the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil, certified for sustainability by Friend of the Sea.
