General:
During Pregnancy, nutrient requirements increase significantly and it is important for the
general well-being of both mother and baby that these needs are met. An inadequate intake
of Folic Acid, Calcium and Iron are particularly important but recently, studies have
shown that women may be falling short of these requirements. One survey reveals 75% of
pregnant women were not receiving target levels of Folic Acid, while National Dietary
Survey (1983) Statistics show that 6 out of 10 women were not receiving the Recommended
Dietary Intake (RD1) of Iron. A good intake of Calcium throughout pregnancy is also
desirable for the development of strong bones and teeth, with requirements for Calcium
increasing by 25% during pregnancy and 50% during lactation. Besides Folic Acid, Iron and
Calcium, Thompson’s Pregnacare provides 17 other vitamins and minerals in a formula
specifically designed to help mothers-to-be meet the increased nutritional requirements of
pregnancy
