Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1 in Pregnancy
We refer to the above and thank you for your email.
While we recommend the Swisse Pregcel Multivitamin, if you would prefer the Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1, generally it is safe to take in pregnancy. There are no hormonally active herbs and the formulation does not contain Vitamin A.
During pregnancy, requirements for vitamins and minerals increase and a good multivitamin is beneficial for you and the development of the foetus. The Swisse Women’s Ultivite Formula 1 contains 500mcg of folic acid which is an amount recommended by Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council to be taken before and during pregnancy. This dose of folic acid may assist in the prevention of neural tube defects known as spina bifida.
It is Swisse policy that we always advise that you check with your Health Professional first before taking any supplements, as he/she knows your health status much better and would advise of any potential contraindications or additional requirements you may have.
PREGCEL Calcium Magnesium incorporates some of the most effective grades of chelated minerals – calcium orotate and magnesium aspartate – for increased bio-availability.
There is overwhelming research confirming that minerals such as calcium and magnesium are beneficial for the health of mother and child. Calcium is best taken in conjunction with magnesium, as both minerals are essential for bone formation in the growing baby. Without magnesium, calcium is far less effective in the body.
PREGCEL Benefishoil Omega 3 is unrefined fish oil sourced from wild salmon swimming freely in Alaskan waters - considered to be one of the most pristine. PREGCEL Benefishoil contains naturally occurring antioxidants. Furthermore, PREGCEL Benefishoil is separate to the PREGCEL Pregnancy Multi-Vitamin to give consumers the option of taking a higher dose of fish oil. PREGCEL Benefishoil also comes in smaller capsules for easier swallowing.
Studies confirm fish oil is beneficial for the development and normal function of the brain and nervous system of your baby and for cardiovascular (heart) health.
The Swisse PREGCEL range is based on over 25 years of research, and incorporates some clinically proven ingredients.
There are now many clinical studies and scientific evidence showing the benefits of taking certain nutrients before and during pregnancy.
