Once pregnant consider changing to Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold. This is a premium, comprehensive formulation which contains vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids beneficial for both mother and baby.
Active Ingredients:
Potassium iodide (iodine 150 µg) 196.2 µg
Iodine is an essential trace element and is an integral part of the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, required for normal growth and metabolism.
An adequate intake of iodine is particularly important for pregnant and breastfeeding women when infants are entirely dependent on their mother's intake of iodine for normal growth and brain development.
Foods containing iodine include seawater fish, shellfish, seaweeds and iodised salt.
Folic acid 500 µg
A water-soluble B group vitamin, folate is involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA and the activation of vitamin B12 into it's active form.
Folic acid is found in fresh green leafy vegetables, broccoli, mushrooms, legumes, nuts and fortified cereals.
Dosage
Adults – Take 1 tablet a day with a meal, or as professionally prescribed
