If a woman is contemplating pregnancy, is pregnant or has just given birth, PregVit's unique supplementation approach can help her get the most important nutrients (such as folic acid, iron and calcium) she may not be able to receive from diet alone.

PregVit provides small easy-to-swallow tablets. A survey revealed that many women were dissatisfied with prenatal multivitamin tablets being so large and hard to swallow. PregVit tablets will allow women to take their prenatal supplements daily without discomfort.

PregVit's unique 2-step approach helps reduce constipation frequently experienced with other brands. Calcium can prevent the iron from being properly absorbed in your body when both elements are included in the same tablet. Health Canada recommends that iron and calcium be taken at different times during the day. PregVit provides iron in the morning tablet and calcium in the evening tablet to allow for optimal iron absorption. The quantity of iron provided in PregVit is adjusted to help reduce constipation. PregVit contains 300 mg of calcium per evening tablet, whereas other standard brands only provide 250 mg per tablet.
