These nutrients also help contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Zinc is arguably one of the most important minerals for the male reproductive system as semen contains 100 times more zinc than is found in the blood. In fact each ejaculate contains around 5mg of zinc; one half of the whole recommended daily nutrient intake, therefore 15mg of zinc has been included within the formulation. Conception and Spermatogenesis Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, zinc and vitamin B6 also contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis. Folate, iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 have a role in cell division, plus vitamin A, which has a role in the process of cell specialisation. For all round health and vitality Vitamins B12 and B6 along with copper and iron contribute to normal energy release. Folate, vitamin B6 and riboflavin (vit. B2) contribute to normal red blood cell formation as well as iron, which supports normal formation of haemoglobin which carries oxygen and blood to the reproductive organs. Vitamins B12 and B6 are also needed to help maintain the normal functioning of the nervous system. The formula also includes other key nutrients; Peruvian MACA Extract, Co-Q10, Lycopene, Siberian Ginseng Extract and Pine Bark Extract.

Recommended level of 400mcg folic acid The Department of Health recommends women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400mcg of folic acid from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy. This is the exact amount of folic acid contained in Pregnacare®. Folic Acid is also beneficial beyond 12 weeks as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

Pregnacare® provides a range of nutrients for overall support, all at sensible, carefully balanced levels. Some pregnancy multivitamins lack all the important basic minerals such as essential zinc and iron, however with Pregnacare® you can be sure of the minerals you need to safeguard the diet, all at sensible, moderate levels. Pregnacare® avoids high dose iron which is not recommended Unlike many prenatal iron supplements, Pregnacare® has been specifically formulated with an ideal, moderate level of iron.

Pregnacare® Cream

	To gently protect stretching skin Pregnacare® Cream is a gentle massage cream, specially formulated to care for stretching skin during pregnancy. Stretch marks can appear anywhere on the body where the skin has been stretched. They occur when the lower layer of the skin containing collagen and elastin, which give our skin its elasticity, becomes damaged by a rapid weight loss or weight gain, such as in pregnancy. The purple appearance of the stretch mark on the skin is caused by the small blood vessels beneath the surface, which become more visible with stretching. Unique caring formula Pregnacare® Cream's unique formula contains vitamins C and E and botanical extracts such as natural extract of Calendula and Evening Primrose Oil, which together gently protect, nourish and moisturise stretching skin. Safe and effective during and after pregnancy Pregnacare® Cream is safe and effective during the months of pregnancy and may be continued to be applied after giving birth, to help the contracting skin to stay supple.

Pregnacare® Cream is suitable for women who wish to protect their stretching skin during pregnancy and their contracting skin after giving birth. Pregnacare® Cream has been dermatologically tested and was developed without testing on animals. Pregnacare® Cream contains no artificial colours or preservatives.
