Frequently asked questions

What does Pregnacare Plus Omega-3 do?

It combines a pregnancy multivitamin with an omega-3 capsule. Under the EU/UK Register of Health Claims, the folic acid in the tablet contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, and maternal intake of DHA contributes to the normal development of the brain and eyes of the foetus and breastfed infants. The capsule provides 300mg DHA.

How much DHA does it provide and why does that matter?

Each omega-3 capsule provides 300mg DHA. The authorised DHA claim for mothers applies at a daily intake of 200mg DHA on top of the recommended adult omega-3 intake, so this pack meets and exceeds that threshold.

How is it different from Pregnacare Original?

Pregnacare Original is the multivitamin tablet on its own. Pregnacare Plus Omega-3 adds a separate high-purity omega-3 (DHA) capsule to be taken alongside the tablet each day.

Can I take it while breastfeeding?

Yes. Pregnacare Plus Omega-3 is suitable from pre-conception through pregnancy and during breastfeeding. If you are under medical care, check with your midwife, GP or pharmacist.
