Description

Planning to fall pregnant? Elevit is a once-daily pre-conception & pregnancy multivitamin that has been specifically formulated to help support your baby's healthy development from conception.

It can take time to build the higher level of nutrients your body will need to support you and your growing baby. Therefore, Elevit should ideally be taken from at least one month prior to conception, and then throughout your entire pregnancy.

No other pregnancy multivitamin contains more folic acid and iron (1). Elevit also contains a high level of iodine and other important vitamins and minerals. Folic acid is clinically proven to reduce the risk of neural tube defects like spina bifida(2), iron helps in the formation of the red blood cells and helps prevent iron deficiency while iodine assists in the baby's brain development.

It's New Zealand's No.1 Pregnancy multivitamin supplement (3).

• No other pregnancy multivitamin contains more folic acid and iron (1) (2)
• One small convenient tablet per day- New Zealand's No. 1 pregnancy multivitamin supplement (3)
• Take at least one month prior to planned conception and throughout your entire pregnancy
• Folic acid is clinically proven to reduce the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida (2)
