Pregnacare® Conception Formula

Vitamin & mineral tablets for conception.

When is Pregnacare® Conception recommended?

Pregnacare® Conception should be used as soon as you start trying for a baby. To help build the body’s nutritional stores it can even be for 3-6 months before you start to try for a baby. Once you have confirmed you are pregnant, you can continue to use up any remaining Pregnacare® Conception tablets, before moving on to Pregnacare® or Pregnacare® Plus with Omega-3, or Pregnacare® Max with Omega-3 plus Calcium which are specially formulated for the remainder of your pregnancy. [Top]

What do I need to know before starting to use Pregnacare® Conception?

Pregnacare® Conception has been carefully developed by a team of experts including highly qualified pharmacists and nutritional consultants, and is based upon scientific research evidence, as a nutritional safeguard for women who are trying for a baby. Pregnacare® Conception replaces your usual daily multivitamin. [Top]

Will Pregnacare® Conception affect my monthly cycle?

Pregnacare® Conception is a carefully formulated, moderate level multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, and is free from any drug or hormones. It does not contain any ingredient that is known to cause any delay in the monthly cycle. In fact, one study has shown that the female cycle was more regular during multivitamin supplementation¹. Please note this should not be regarded as a substitute to the professional medical advice provided by your doctor or other healthcare professionals and we recommend you consult your doctor for specific guidance.

Can Pregnacare® Conception be used alongside medicines?

As a general rule, Pregnacare® Conception can be taken alongside medications because it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals. However, if you are already taking prescribed supplements or medications or have an underlying condition, seek advice from your doctor or health professional first. [Top]

How many tablets does one pack of Pregnacare® Conception contain?

Pregnacare Conception contains 30 tablets per pack and it is recommended to take one per day. [Top]

How and when should Pregnacare® Conception be used?

One tablet per day is recommended with or immediately after your main meal, with water or a cold drink. Taking the tablet with a large meal maximises the absorption of the nutrients, and can reduce nausea which is sometimes experienced if multivitamins are taken on an empty stomach. Pregnacare® Conception should only be taken on a full stomach. Always ensure that Pregnacare® Conception is taken with plenty of liquid to wash down the tablet. We do not recommend chewing the tablets because they have not been formulated as chewable preparations. Chewable tablets usually include flavourings, sweeteners and/or added ingredients to help break the tablet up in the mouth. Pregnacare® Conception tablets are suitable for vegetarians. [Top]

Are there any undesired effects whilst taking Pregnacare® Conception?

Pregnacare® Conception has no known side-effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended tablet intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately. [Top]

Difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules is fairly common - do you have any advice?

Difficulty in swallowing tablets is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively, trying different methods, and hope that our tips will help you swallow tablets with ease. 

The usual advice for those who have difficulty in swallowing tablets, is to break the tablets into 2-3 pieces, before swallowing with plenty of liquid. For capsules (which contain liquid), and in cases where people have more difficulty in swallowing tablets we recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider automatically to swallow the chewed food and hence the tablet should go down with greater ease. Alternatively the tablets or capsules may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies. We hope these tips are of help.
