Our Pregnancy Multivitamin provides 400µg folate as active methylfolate (5-MTHF), a form your body can use straight away, 10µg vitamin D in line with NHS guidance for pregnancy (not the higher doses used in our other formulas, because more isn't automatically better in pregnancy), and choline, which contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.
Key Benefits
- Folate 400µg as active methylfolate (5-MTHF) (200% NRV), a form your body can use straight away — folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and to normal blood formation.
- Vitamin D3 10µg — in line with NHS guidance for pregnancy. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function and to the normal function of the immune system.
- Choline (82.2mg) — contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function.
- Vitamin B6 10mg (714% NRV) — contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism and normal psychological function.
- Iron 17mg (121% NRV) as ferrous bisglycinate — iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Iodine 150µg — contributes to normal thyroid function.
Why Dr Marks?
We set vitamin D at the 10µg NHS pregnancy amount, used methylfolate (5-MTHF), P5P vitamin B6 and iron as ferrous bisglycinate, and added choline.
Directions
Take one capsule daily, ideally with food and a glass of water. As with any supplement in pregnancy, please discuss with your midwife or GP before starting, particularly if you are taking any other supplements or medication (including thyroid medication or blood thinners). Suitable for vegetarians. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Good to know: Contains folate as methylfolate rather than folic acid. The NHS recommends a 400µg folic acid supplement before conception and for the first 12 weeks. Ask your GP or midwife if you're unsure what's right for you.
